Hello list, we see a very strange behaviour on our nagios-installations.
/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults contained 29355 old checkfiles which made nagios stop checking hosts. After a restart the nagios webinterface was unusable (Whoops...) On another system I have 685 stale files: r...@nagios:/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults # ls -la | head -n 10 total 2776 drwxr-x--- 2 nagios nagios 36864 Sep 18 19:25 . drwxr-x--- 3 nagios nagios 4096 Mar 23 15:50 .. -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 280 May 14 19:46 check0Bp5pw -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 279 May 3 14:09 check0LTWle -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 287 May 14 19:46 check0So2dK -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 251 May 3 14:09 check0V8UXl -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 May 3 14:09 check0Y4kYK -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 May 3 14:09 check0cF56S -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 295 May 3 14:02 check0csdub r...@nagios:/var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults # cat check0Bp5pw ### Active Check Result File ### file_time=1242323204 ### Nagios Service Check Result ### # Time: Thu May 14 19:46:44 2009 host_name=testhost service_description=http check_type=0 check_options=0 scheduled_check=1 reschedule_check=1 latency=571.055000 start_time=1242323204.55059 Obviously this should not happen. This nagios-instance has got 291 active hosts and 1549 service checks We use version 3.0.6-4~lenny2 from debian lenny. One (hacky) solution could be using tmpreaper to clean up /var/lib/nagios3/spool/checkresults once a day, but first of all I want to know if we can improuve our setup or if this is a known problem. Did anybody see this before? What would be the best solution to fix that?
