The Documentation Forum is more for grammatical/clarification and spelling error type inquire, so it may not get the attention that an issue like this deserves.
Did you say there is no-longer a swap partition, but a swap file? This indeed would be something for us to try.
By your response I take it you have looked vary hard for this service check.
You say this is not being generated by XI, but instead is going to the local /var/mail/root mail box? This indicates that nagiosadmin is/was using the incorrect template a known bug we re-discovered yesterday.
I said was because you may have a known issue that we are unable to reduplicate. What we need from you is all the information about this issue you can pour on us. Knowing how to make backtraces and core dumps would be vary helpful to us or me at least. Here is what I'd like you to do:
Code: Select all
yum -y install gdb
script send-us-this-log.txt
ps ax
for ech in $(pgrep nagios); do { echo bt; echo generate-core-file; echo quit; echo y; } | gdb -p $ech; done
exit
tar -cjf send-us-this.tar.bz2 send-us-this-log.txt $(for ech in $(pgrep nagios); echo core.$ech;)
Better send me a protected link to this document privatively because it more then likely would contain something sensitive.
The theory is that there is an old instance of the Nagios daemon that's refusing to exit, sending these messages. You should then manually kill all of them making sure they exit and start then Nagios using the web interface admin tool.
