Alert history doesn't work

[mcoreso]

Hello,

since 1 week, alert history doesn't works the way it should be. I explain :

for the current day, I have normal alerts history listing. When I click on "latest archive", for 1 week ago, I have "No history information was found in this archived log file".

Yesterday I had logs on "current log" but today when I go on earlier archive I have nothing.

For your information, I reloaded Nagios 1 week ago as I usually do.

etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios reload

But since this I had problems with alert history logs.

Need help please.

Thx

Check your nagios log/archives folder to make sure you have historical data:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/archives

How was nagios installed? Package repo, source, other?

You may want to check your nagios.cfg for the log file directive:

Code: Select all

log_file=<file_name>

I think Nagios was installed in source mode.

Nagios.log is here /var/nagios/nagios.log I had a nagios.lock too

Nagios's logs archives are in /var/nagio/archives I had all logs but files contains only 20 lines approximately.

Before the problems, these files contains more thant 100 lines each days.

Couple of things: /usr/local/nagios is the default install location for source installs, so your version is probably from a repo. You should still be able to view those older logs even though they are less full than usual. You may want to check that you don't have 2 processes running.

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios stop
killall nagios
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios start

Hi,

I found the problem : Nagios was launched 4 times in processes... I do a killall nagios and all works now.

You find the good solution too, thank you for your support

Now, alerts history logs works fine

Hi ,

I am also facing the same issue.

Tried Killing the multiple nagios process still i have the same issue.
Can't view the alert history for the previous day.However i am able to view all the Alert history for the current day.

Also the path /usr/local/nagios/var/archives has all the archive logs for the previous day but still cant view the same in Alert history in Nagios.

quick help will be much appreciated.

regards,
RK

when I checked the logs in /usr/local/nagios/var/Nagios.log I am getting the below error

nagios: ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink. 587035 items lost, 5000 queued items to flush

Does it have any relation to the issue I am facing

Thanks

Try:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service ndo2db stop
killall -9 ndo2db
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock
service ndo2db start
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
service nagios start

After Nagios has started, please run this command:

ipcs -q

It should only show one nagios queue.

Thank you for the reply.

How ever wen i try to stop the ndo2db service.I am getting the below error

ndo2db:unrecognized service

Also i cant see the file ndo.sock in the path /usr/local/nagios/var
