Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

After cleaning up the files on /usr/local/nagios/var and /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata these directory remain empty.
Nagios is not collecting new performancedata.

What exactly did you remove? All the the files in those directories? the directories themselves?

can you run

Only the data, with the commands described in my last topic
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... =16&t=7930
the directories stay empty.

Can you run the following commands, and show us the output:
Have you tried restarting the npcd?

Here's the output of the commands

drwxrwxr-x 3 nagios nagios 12288 Oct 24 22:41 /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata

NPCD running (pid 1498).

process_performance_data=1

Restart ncpd already done several times

After cleaning up the files on /usr/local/nagios/var and /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata these directory remain empty.

Can you outline what you cleaned up in these directories and why? Particularly the /usr/local/nagios/var directory? If you don't know what you're deleting in that directory you can easily make your system completely unusable.

What files remain there?

Do you get any error messages showing up when running:

look at: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 16&t=7930 here i asked how to delete old performance data. So i did.

Ok, it doesn't look like nagios is processing the performance data files that are being created.

can you post your latest config snapshot via PM to me, or send to [email protected]

Hi Scot,

sended by email
