Nagios Support Forum

This has happened three times. Once a few months ago, once on Friday November 30 and then again yesterday.

I get notifications from all of the Mac servers I have being monitored and the event logs look like this:

2012-12-03 08:42:25SERVICE ALERT: host1;CPU Load;WARNING;HARD;3;WARNING - load average: 3.45, 4.18, 2.43
2012-12-03 08:42:24SERVICE ALERT: host2;CPU Load;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING - load average: 3.45, 4.18, 2.43

2012-12-03 08:42:23SERVICE ALERT: host5;CPU Load;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING - load average: 3.45, 4.18, 2.43
2012-12-03 08:42:23SERVICE ALERT: host6;CPU Load;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING - load average: 3.45, 4.18, 2.43
2012-12-03 08:42:23SERVICE ALERT: host7;CPU Load;WARNING;SOFT;1;WARNING - load average: 3.45, 4.18, 2.43

With corresponding notifications on all the hosts.

As I check the hosts their CPU load is actually fine though in the logs and the notifications they look to be in a warning state with all the same load averages.

The only other thing that may be linked is an entry that looks like this:

2012-12-03 08:43:10ndomod: Successfully reconnected to data sink! 0 items lost, 848 queued items to flush.
2012-12-03 08:43:10ndomod: Successfully flushed 848 queued items to data sink.

On Friday I restarted the Nagios service to get the service checks to come back fine. Yesterday I decided to reboot the nagios server.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to keep this from happening?

To help dig into this can you open a support ticket by emailing [email protected] and attach your latest configuration snapshot.

Please also include in the ticket the actual names of the hosts in question.

Thanks.

Will do. Thank you.

We have received the ticket and will be looking into it. Thanks!
