Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

We performed patching of the servers recently and rebooted it after that the performance grapher service stopped in Nagios and won't start when I try to start it.

The ncpd service is not running.

[root@host ~]# service npcd status
NPCD not running.
[root@host ~]# service npcd start
An error occured while reading your config on line 0
Message was: "ERROR - Could not open config file - No such file or directory" Could not start NPCD

What can we do to start this?

Hi Rebecca,

That's odd. That shouldn't affect the npcd service. Let's make sure the configuration file is there with the correct permissions.

Please post the output to the following command. -- Benjamin

[root@host ~]# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg
ls: cannot access /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg: No such file or directory

looks like the file somehow got deleted.

I have recovered it from the backup and started the service now.

It worked.

You can close this case.
