/usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp junk?

Post by TBT »

I've noticed /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp contains 1585+ files, some of which are dated over a year old. Generally the files are less than 1M, but one exceeds 2GB in size.

Doesn't Nagios XI automatically clean this up, or is it safe to remove these files manually?

Example file names:
  • component-*
    configwizard-*
    dashlet-*
    snmpwalk--IP-address
    snmpwalk-mib-2.100465-IP-address
    snmpwalk-ifType-IP-address
    snmpwalk-ifName.112353-IP-address
    snmpwalk-ifOctet.30101-IP-address
    mrtg-IP-address
    mrtg-IP-address.done

Hello, @TBT. Generally, these are temporary files left by various upgrade scripts and components and safe to be removed. Can you let me know the name of the file that takes up 2gb?

@TBT, You can remove this file. It was probably left by one of the wizards during the initial snmp walk of a network device.
