Hello Team,

I am receiving the email notification stating that "SSH backups are getting failed". Can someone assist on how to fix this issue?

The scheduled SSH backup at 2024-07-07 01:30:03 failed.

View your full scheduled backup logs at /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log to find out more details about the error. Your backup may have timed out, you can set a backup_timeout variable in config.inc.php to increase it.

Upon checking the log, I could see the below message.

I tried to do the backup manually but it also resulted into failure.

You're using all the space on the filesystem.

pavan509,

As kg2857 pointed out, you're out of disk space. We have an article on some possible solutions to lack of disk space. The article is for a virtual machine, but the same concepts apply to hardware servers.

In short, you have a few options:

Expand the disk

Remove/move existing backups

Remove/move existing log files

Remove/move archived log files, located at:
Code: Select all
```
/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/archives/
```
Hopefully something here gets you on the right track. Let us know if you want any more information on any specific approach.

Best Regards,

Cory Norell

Hmm, interesting. Sometimes "No space left on device" can really be caused by permissions issues. When trying to manually run the backup, are you doing it as root?

Tangentially, did your backup directory's (defaults to /store/backups/nagiosxi/) permissions change? The directory should have the following permissions:

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x. 2 nagios nagios 31 Jun  3 15:54 nagiosxi
