I deleted old files and directory no longer monitored
/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/
I left all the currently monitored dir/files

Hi,

When did the Nagios server stop processing peformance graphs? Was this before or after making changes to the pefdata directory?

Can you send your system profile for us to review? Thanks.

Hello
if was afterward. The graph link disappeared for everything.

I had turned performance data checks off after this post for fear of filling the ramdisk/perfdata, and went on to other work.

After a couple of hours I noticed the graph link was back and when selected showed the history.

Turned the perf checks back on and everything was processing again.

All is well.

Dont understand what happened or why but you can close this, unless you would like some other infor....

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the update. The files may have spooled up temporarily after deleting the old files, and delayed the processing of performance data.

Anyhow, happy to hear it's working again.

I'll go ahead a close this thread, but feel free to open another if you have any new questions.
