Hello all,
Nothing special with the install, everything in the same machine.
Ran strace as suggested:
strace -fFs512 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
[pid 32731] write(3, "[1265393566.503713] [016.2] [pid=32731] Processed
service performance data file output: 1265393559||AHS||C: Drive

[pid 32731] _llseek(3, 0, [657557], SEEK_CUR) = 0
[pid 32731] write(6, "1265393559||AHS||C: Drive Space||c:\\ - total:

[pid 32731] --- SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded) @ 0 (0) ---
[pid 32732] +++ killed by SIGXFSZ +++
"File size limit exceeded" seems to be the cause
Disk space is plenty:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
68G 28G 38G 43% /
/dev/sda1 99M 30M 65M 32% /boot
tmpfs 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
Also, I did try renaming retention.dat, status.dat and moving files out
of checkresults earlier with no result.
Seems like /var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log is 2G while
/var/spool/nagios/perfdata.log is a mere 11K
I've tried renaming the file and started nagios which now seems to run ok.
Looks like I need to set up log rotation or what is the best way to
handle perfdata.log?
Many thanks, Tony
