Unable to Start Monitoring Engine Process

Post by GreatWolfResorts »

Our Monitoring Engine Process state is currently stopped, and I am unable to get it to restart. All other XI System components were in a start state until we attempt to start it from the web interface. After the attempt, I watch components listed from command subsystem on down going into alert status:

- command Subsystem
- Event Manager
- Feed Processor
- Report Engine
- System statistics

All slowly moved to the alert state.

We just recently upgraded to version 2011R3.3. I'm not even sure where to begin here.

Check your free disk space just to make sure the drive isn't full.

Also try the following commands and post if you get any error output:

Code: Select all

service crond restart
service nagios restart
Are you getting and revealing errors from /var/log/messages?

Ran a "df -h" and it looks like we're not even 50% use on the disks. Restarted both the crond and nagios service and looks like we're good to go. I had restarted the nagios service previously, but I never thought about hitting crond.

Thanks for your help!
