Nagios XI eventman

[amuszak]

Recently we have a problem with eventman.php (/usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/eventman.php). After analizing /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log we discovered a big time LAG (about 3h). So we decided to create sql query on postgres database to check how many events are in queue. Select told us that our queue has reached number over 1400!!!

I have 2 questions :

1) What could be couse of this LAG ?
2) Why there is no safety mechanism that will force to send events when queue has over 1000 events ?

Can we get some information about what your system is up to when this is happening?

Code: Select all

service nagios status
tail /var/log/messages
free -m
top | head -n5
ipcs -q

Also, what version of Nagios XI are you running?
