Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

I am currently working on nagios core version 4.4.1 and the problem i am facing is automatic generation of the nagios pids whenever i do any configuration changes on it as a reult of which nagios sometimes throws fake alerts , no alerts at all , missing configuration changes etc.

So everytime i have to manually kill those nagios pids in order to have nagios function properly ...

Can i know the reason for such behavior of Nagios and have a permanent solution for this so that no fake pids are generated at regular intervals .

Thanks in advance ..

What is the location of the pid files?

What is set as the in your nagios.cfg?

Hi,


Thanks for your response.
Location of my lock file is /usr/local/Nagios/var/Nagios.lock

and whenever i do pgrep nagios | wc -l even after stopping nagios ,there are a lot of pids running (approx 100 or even more).

What OS is this running on?

Also, next time you stop nagios can you run the following so we can see what they are?
finally, how are you starting/stopping nagios (what commands do you issue)?

Hi Scotwilkerson,

Refer the attachment for the information on OS version and output of ps -ef| grep nagios . I hope it helps .

Also the commands i use for starting and stopping the nagios are :

service nagios start
service nagios stop

Thanks .

Is this the server running nagios? I only see NRPE checks...

let's narrow it down

Yes Nagios is running on this server .

Refer the Attachment for the output of ps -ef | grep Nagios.cfg.

What is the output of the following:

Hi ,

I have attached the document for the command u asked.Hope it helps

Thanks.

This all looks normal, can you describe the details of what you are seeing as a problem? I think I'm misunderstanding the actual issue.
