Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

Currently we are using nagios in our environment for Infrastructure monitoring. Recent times one of the file system in nagios crossing the full utilization level, which in turn affecting the Nagios operations and the console is not getting launched. Since am new to nagios I dont know whether the files in the subjected File system are really required or it can deleted to free some disk space.

Please find the file system which is consuming more space -- /var/spool/snmptt and let us know your comments.

Thanks In Advance!

If this directory is filling up, it sounds like the snmptt service is not running. The snmptt service watches this directory and processes/deletes these files (they are snmp traps).

You may as well delete the files in this directory and then observe if the directory keeps filling up, if it does, snmptt is not processing them.

Here is a guide on the snmptt service:

Here's a guide that goes through all the things you should monitor on your Nagios server. The guide is for Nagios XI, but most of it applies for Nagios Core:
