Last check never gets updated.
Increasing the "open_files_limit" in mysql lest it continue running temporarily, but regardless of how high I set it, it seems to only be a temporary fix.
Any help would be appreciated.

HI,

Besides those errors, how is the server behaving? Are you getting notifications and are check results being updated in the GUI?

Was the upgrade done on the production server or your test instance?

Please try to add the following entry to your /etc/my.cnf file. Also, follow the steps to optimize the PHP settings to make sure nothing is timing out.

Then restart the database and the Nagios service and then let me know if the errors are still being generated.If they are, please send us your system profile.
