Nagios Support Forum

Good morning,

Yesterday I decided to desactivate a host, service and his hostgroup.
After this I apply changes but NagiosXI didn't response so our unique choice is reboot service manually "/etc/init.d/nagios restart".

In the same time the root partition goes up because some gzip log files was a little big and I changed the path directory on the scripts "/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh" and "/root/scripts/automysqlbackup" from "/store/backups/..." to the "/var/backups/...." and also we moved all path files to the new path.

This big files causes inactivity of all services and it puts in "pending" mode.

Today I reboot the machine because appear the "Monitoring engine ...." error and also "pending" mode of all service.

After reboot some services goes "OK" and the "Monitoring engine ....." error dissappear but after 5 min. comes again.


This is a very critical error because it's production.
What solution do you recomend ???

Thanks in advanced


PD: I attach a photo of our state in Nagios (critical service, pending service, and machine problem)

Is the drive full?

Hi scottwilkerson,

No it isn't, the root partition actually it's on 46% use.
PD: The most occuped partition is /var/log on 59% so the disc it's good

Thank for your answer

Can you run the following from the command line

ps -ef|grep bin/nagios

It's running the nagios config file:
- nagios 4528 1 2 Sep12 ? 00:32:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Yesterday, in the afternoon Nagios recover his state to OK.
Now it seems that all be alright but i would like to know what happened for prevent future problems

Thanks !!!

PD: I execute this command when error appear and "nagios" config file and "ndo2db (nagVis)" file were running too

Ok.

Where were you seeing the errors?

Was it happening after applying configuration?

And the changes didn't applying only appear this:
