Fusion 4 Database Size

Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 9:08 am

I've noticed that our new Fusion 4 server is chewing through HDD space recently. While looking at the fusion MySQL DB I noticed the polled_extras table is using 30+ GB of disk space. Is there a way to clean this table and/or limit it's size?

There is a cron job that runs every 5 minutes which should be clearing the table of old entries.
Maybe there is a corrupt table causing the issue.

If your server is running on Centos / RHEL 6, run the following and post the output.

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/mysqld.log
If it is running on Centos / RHEL 7, run the following and post the output.

Code: Select all

tail -100 /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
Run these commands as root and post the output.

Code: Select all

tail -50 /usr/local/nagiosfusion/var/log/dbmaint_subsys.log
echo 'SELECT TABLE_NAME, ENGINE FROM information_schema.TABLES where TABLE_SCHEMA = "fusion";' | mysql  -t -u fusion -pfusion
Thanks

I am running the Nagios VMWare appliance (OVA) on centos-release-6-9.el6.12.3.x86_64. Below is the output from the mysql.log. NOTE the root partition was completely out of disk space this morning which caused the errors seen. After I grew the partition they stopped (see entries at 170807 10:10:00):

I have more commands for you. Can you run these and post the output?

Code: Select all

echo 'show table status;' |mysql -u fusion -pfusion fusion -t
/usr/bin/php /usr/local/nagiosfusion/cron/dbmaint_subsys.php
ls -l /var/lib/mysql
ls -l /var/lib/mysql/fusion

Also, after running the last set of commands suggested I am not able to see any data in Fusion for any of my fused servers. See screenshot attached.

I brought this issue up with the developer and he it going to look at why the table is growing and it not getting truncated.
In the mean time, you can manually truncate the tables by running the following in a root shell on the server.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosfusion/scripts
./truncate_polled.php
Keep an eye on the size of the table and if it grows too large again, run the truncate script again.

How many servers do you have fused?

How many hosts/services for each server?

Was everything displaying properly at one point?

I *just* realized I did not leave the polling retention data option in the system settings! :o

We have 4 fused XI appliances with a total of 370 hosts and 7500 services. I was wondering where the polling retention settings were :D. Also, after running the truncate_polled.php script I started getting data from our fused servers again.

That is good news that it is working for you.
Keep an eye on that table and if it gets that large again, let us know.
