Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Every couple of hours, system icon goes red reporting that system has problems. Checked Elasticsearch and logstash status, Both are active (Running). On top of that there are plenty of errors in logs. Currently it's showing logs are not received. when I checked on port 5544, Connections are established. Could you please guide further.

Hello Again,

For logs not coming in, found that it was a problem with logstash. After logstash restart, Logs started coming it.

However Please help to find cause of the repeated issue.

These two problems are very frequent :

1.) System has problems in GUI (About System status)
2.) Logs stop coming in (Probably due to logstash outofmemory or something).

Is there a health check script which can find component status if anything goes unhealthy ? How can we avoid this in future because we can't depend on manual monitoring. missing logs means reports become useless.

I'd recommend setting up NCPA on the NLS machine so you can monitor it on XI or Core. See https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... i-857.html.

Please provide a profile from the system so we can look for problems on the system. It can be gathered under Admin > System > System Status > Download System Profile or from the command line with:
This will create /tmp/system-profile.tar.gz.

Note that this file can be very large and may not be able to be uploaded through the ticketing system. You can split the file into smaller files with the split command on the NLS(or other Linux machine) command line:
The above command will split the system-profile.tar.gz into 5MB segments and save them to files with the naming convention system-profile​-nn. Please send me the profile in a private message.

Hello,

I have sent profile data in personal message. Kindly share your feedback asap because again GUI is reporting "System has problems" and logs have stopped coming in.

The profile had a problem being generated and was only 131 bytes. If you tried generating the profile in the web UI, try running it from the command line instead.

If that fails, please check the disk usage as well as cpu and load from the command line with:

Hello,

1.4M system-profile.tar.gz have been shared in personal message. Later probably you can help to find why GUI didn't generate it.

I feel there are permissions issues in some directories or files. NLS does not have script to fix permissions like Nagios XI ?

The / partition is almost full with only 537MB available. Find out what is consuming the space with:
and we we may find some items that we can remove to clear up space or it may be necessary to increase the amount of space on this partition.

Hello,

Following your recommendations, we increased root partition and restarted logstash and elasticsearch.

However Again same problems have popped up.

Please provide a fresh profile so we may review the logs.

Hello,
I have sent you system profile. Currently logs have stopped coming in. Just to check, Can wrong filter definitions crash EL components if they get applied successfully ?

I can see lots of such errors in elasticsearch log errors.
