Send_NSCA Problems

[mcwhorts]

We recently noticed that one of our systems stopped talking to our Nagios instance. I found in our /var/log/messages some of these messages:

May 29 08:20:48 some system xinetd[28577]: FAIL: nsca per_source_limit from=ip address
May 29 08:21:18 some system xinetd[28577]: FAIL: nsca per_source_limit from=ip address

May 29 08:21:24 some system xinetd[28577]: FAIL: nsca per_source_limit from=ip address

Any ideas or suggestions?

Learned something new today. I came across this blog that may have a solution:

What you will need to do is edit the /etc/xinetd.d/nsca file on the XI server to include the following lines

Code: Select all

per_source = UNLIMITED
instances = UNLIMITED

add them between { and }

Then restart xinetd

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart
