Can you post your file count of performance data?
Also, lets make sure the npcd daemon is running.
Do you have any telling errors in /usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log?

Hi,
some files are exist.

root@nagios perfdata]# ls -f
. .. host-perfdata.1346396575 service-perfdata.1346396575
[root@nagios perfdata]# ls -f|wc -l
4

Service ncpd is running smoothly, but for your surety:

[root@nagios perfdata]# service npcd restart
NPCD Stopped.
NPCD started.
[root@nagios perfdata]#

in /usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log are no errors

[root@nagios ~]# tail -n 20 /usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log

Can you post the output of the following command?

I just upgraded to 3.3 and have a similar problem. However some graphs works and some works not. the output of 'll -t /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/' is

[root@cmd1ge0049 ~]# ll -t /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/
total 408
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 6 15:51 host1
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 6 15:51 host2
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 6 15:51 host3
etc....

I just upgraded a system to 3.3 and have the same problem.

The output of ll -t /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/ is

[root@cmd1ge0049 ~]# ll -t /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/
total 408
drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 6 15:51 host1

etc...

I seem to have the same issue. /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata has a directory for each of my hosts with the timestamp of the last time the graph was successfully updated. /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata doesn't contain any files. No obvious errors in ncpd.log either though it is running. Any suggestions? We're about 20 days away from our trial expiring and are looking to purchase otherwise I'd post in the customers forum.

Can you guys post the output from:

That was it, there were tons of files in that directory. Too many actually for the mv command that puts them into the summary file (too many arguments). I believe this was caused originally by some corrupt tables, so I ran /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repairmysql.sh nagios than created a for loop to delete all the files in xidpe (rm * caused the too many argument error). Restarted the server and now everything is graphing again!

Thanks for the kick in the right direction!
