Scheduled Reports tmp directory

[andyb4u]

Hi,

If I schedule a page to be run as a scheduled report with a pdf attachment, I notice that it creates that pdf in the /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/ directory. The pdf file does not get automatically deleted. However, a scheduled report with a pdf attachment, created for an availability report does not leave behind a pdf in this directory. Is this normal behaviour?

Hi Andy,

Which version of Nagiso XI are you currently using. I tested this out and did not see that some behavior.

There is a log file for scheduled reports, so let's check that for any errors.

Code: Select all

tail -n 100 /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/scheduledreporting.log

Also, the reports run on cron jobs, so let's check the cron log as well.

Code: Select all

tail -n 50 /var/log/cron

Please post those to the thread. Thanks, Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

We are using XI 5.8.7.

I've attached the outputs of the commands.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this issue. I was able to re-create this on a Ubuntu system but not on my Cent system for some reason. I'm working with QA to get a bug report filed. In the meantime, I would clear out the temp directory so this directory is not using excess space.

Let me know if you have any questions.
