Hello all, I'm trying to setup a distributed monitoring system. At the start all looked fine too me, but now I'm having some problems on not receiving all passive checks from other hosts.
The machine is a Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz system with 512 MB RAM. The load is minimal. The only strange thing I can see is the memory settings: nagios:/etc/nagios # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 514264 kB MemFree: 30192 kB Buffers: 44568 kB Cached: 328004 kB SwapCached: 8 kB Active: 264908 kB Inactive: 137824 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 514264 kB LowFree: 30192 kB SwapTotal: 1028120 kB SwapFree: 1028020 kB Dirty: 780 kB Writeback: 0 kB Mapped: 46188 kB Slab: 75556 kB Committed_AS: 100992 kB PageTables: 1104 kB VmallocTotal: 507896 kB VmallocUsed: 7264 kB VmallocChunk: 499760 kB HugePages_Total: 0 HugePages_Free: 0 Hugepagesize: 4096 kB The process info tells me this: Time Frame Checks Completed <= 1 minute: 51 (16.6%) <= 5 minutes: 221 (71.8%) <= 15 minutes: 255 (82.8%) <= 1 hour: 260 (84.4%) Since program start: 261 (84.7%) So it's receiving less then 85% of all checks :( There will be more passive checks to be send to this nagios server. Do we need other hardware ? Where do I need to look to solve this problem ? The machines sending the passive check info are not too busy doing this, the checks are seperated over three different servers. One example... This is /var/log/nagios/nagios.log: [1135162484] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;cat29-w11-backup;PING;0;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.89 ms[1135162491] SERVICE ALERT: cat29-w11-backup;PING;OK;HARD;3;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.89 ms [1135162491] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagios;cat29-w11-backup;PING;OK;notify-by-epager;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.89 ms[1135162491] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: nagios;cat29-w11-backup;PING;OK;notify-by-email;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.89 ms [1135162941] Warning: The results of service 'PING' on host 'cat29-w11-backup' are stale by 32 seconds (threshold=425 seconds). I'm forcing an immediate check of the service. [1135162951] SERVICE ALERT: cat29-w11-backup;PING;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;CRITICAL: Service results are stale! It looks like its stale again too fast ? Can somebody please help me :) Best regards, Rob Hassing ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
