Hi Team,
I am getting the below error messages in my /var/log/messages and my nagios service stops abnormally due to this

Please run these commands:

Code: Select all

service npcd stop
service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
if grep --quiet pgsql /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php; then service postgresql stop; fi;
service mysqld restart
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/reconfigure_nagios.lock
rm -rf /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg_l
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
pkill -9 -u nagios
if grep --quiet pgsql /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php; then service postgresql start; fi;
service httpd restart
service ndo2db start
service nagios start
service npcd start
service crond restart

Then validate if it's now working.

Then attach these files:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/nagios

And send the full output of these commands:

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios
grep nag /etc/group
ipcs -q
tail -n50 /var/log/messages /var/log/mysqld.log /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log

Also, please include a screenshot of Admin > Performance Settings > Databases.

Thank you

Hi SSAX,
Still that error is coming. Please find the /etc/init.d/nagios file and commands output in attachment.

Please PM a copy of your profile, you can download it by going to Admin > System Config > System Profile and click the Download Profile button in the top right corner.

Did this just start occurring or did it come about from an upgrade or some other maintenance?

Hi ssax,
I am not sure since when it started occurring, but we did upgraded to latest version of nagios xi. Please find below the attached profile.

You should increase the following:

Code: Select all

kernel.msgmnb = 262144000
kernel.msgmax = 262144000

Those are what we suggest in our kb article, but we have at least one customer that uses 10x the default (5x what you have). Please let us know if increasing them further does not resolve the issue.

Also, I note that you have about 20k Hosts + Services. This is about the place where you need to think seriously about getting a second XI box. Alternatively, you can decrease your check frequency.

Hi dwhitfield,
kernel.msgmnb and kernel.msgmax are increased further but still getting same error and also CPU load is too high i.e. sometimes it goes above 200.
Also we have one Nagios server and 2 Workers.

If your load is getting that high, you need to take a look at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

RAM is clearly not your issue.

You could try decreasing the service check timeout: service_check_timeout=60
More checks will time out, but you'll get better performance over all.

Your host templates all have a default check interval of 5. You could try increasing that, as I mentioned yesterday. I also checked the services on a couple of hosts in your profile and they were all set to 5 minutes. You really need to go through and decide what doesn't need to be checked every 5 minutes, or you need to offload some of this onto a Core box or another XI box.

It's really helpful you use code blocks for output. For example:

Code: Select all

bash-4.1# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 64416 36899 27517 389 59 1494
-/+ buffers/cache: 35344 29072
Swap: 61439 521 60918
