Hello.

I have configured that the indexes are automatically closed with more than 15 days but it is not working.

I can close them manually.

Any idea of whats happening?

Thanks!

Can I check some logs to see what happens?
What job runs the closing of the indexes?

Thanks in advance.

NLS will run this command to close indices:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/curator.sh close indices --older-than 15 --time-unit days --timestring %Y.%m.%d

Try running this on the command line and let us know what output it returns.

Hi cdienger.
Thanks for the reply.

The output was this:

Keep an eye on this for a few more days as it runs the close script once a day(by default) I've seen cases were it times out and is only able to close a few indices at a time if there is a large list. Now that it appears to be caught up it should work better going forward.

Hi cdienger

Sorry but It is not closing the indices automatically.
I have launched the command again and this is the output:

There may be issues with the cron job or nagios account. Check the nagios account:

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios

and set expiration settings with this if necessary:

Code: Select all

chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 nagios

Also check in /var/log/cron for any errors related to the nagios account.

Finally, tail the jobs.log account:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagioslogserver/var/jobs.log

Run the above while you force the snapshots_maintenance job under Admin > System > Command Subsystem.

Hi cdienger.

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagioslogserver/var/jobs.log

Running command do_maintenance with args ' ' for job id: snapshots_maintenance

I don't know if it's a problem with the permissions of the curator.sh file or others.
I'm checking but can't find the cause of the problem.
Any ideas?

Thank you very much.

What is the output of this command?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/bin/curator

Should be this:

Code: Select all

chmod 0775 /usr/bin/curator

Debugging yesterday I modified the permissions on the file you indicate, but the error is now different:
