I'm running Nagios on a little VPS box checking a few hosts/services (~50
checks). It's mostly a testing platform for me and checks in on my other test
VPS systems.
However I keep seeing the extra check results data files build up in
/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults like:
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 249 Jun 7 23:45 checknbu01O
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 Jun 8 02:40 checkHxcsiJ
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 291 Jun 8 03:52 checkcyaOva
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 280 Jun 8 04:46 checknlLs4b
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 250 Jun 8 05:52 checkCMATnr
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 06:21 checkrblxgG
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 Jun 8 07:30 checkikZPk8
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 09:14 check47NrJf
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 13:34 check4g81jo
-rw------- 1 nagios nagios 249 Jun 8 15:15 checkvFH7JT
Some days there will be one or two, some days there will be 30-50. The days w/
more entries seems to be the days with more alerts. The files will just build
up and build up for months if I do not manually delete them.
I've also seen my one server w/ a passive check, not properly update back to
the dummy default value of OK on occassion.
I've tried tweaking the various config variables like:
max_check_result_file_age=3600, and check_result_reaper_*. I thought it may
have been a performance issue with my little VPS, but the memory and CPU load
(thanks Nagiosgraph), all seem pretty flat. My typically check interval is
5minutes. With only ~50 checks it shouldn't be THAT much load.
Googled a bit and didn't come up with much relevant. Any thoughts?
