I would just recommend it on performance purpose but if it worked for
you, stay at 1.4b7 - 1.4b8 is shipping with several bugs which are not
all resolved in 1.4b9 (from what I can tell looking at the code and
comparing to Icinga IDOUtils).
Regarding your problem I would run a sanity check on the database,
checking if there's anything broken and ndo2db just fails on inserting
data (long lasting connections to the rdbms slow down the overall
sequential inserts).
You might also use a little trick to remove the 5k items from buffer -
you can set that in your ndomod.cfg - set it to 1, restart the core,
change back and restart again. Never tried that, but at least those
buffered items should be dropped out of the way.
But I think the electrical incident harmed sth else, like the rdbms.

Michael

Oggetto: [Nagios-users] Ndoutils block nagios
Hi,
After a electrical crash, I have a problem with ndoutils, nagios start
and works correctly when ndo2db isn't started .
When I start ndo2db, nagios blocks.
When ndo2db is started , nagios connect to ndo2db:
[1275478646] ndomod: Successfully reconnected to data sink! 113098
items lost, 5000 queued items to flush.
I see this activity on the process nagios with strace:
[pid 18603] write(7, "\n400:\n4=1275477698.622212\n174=MAW"..., 588
[pid 18604]<... poll resumed> )= 0 (Timeout)
[pid 18604] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 500) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 18604] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 500) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 18604] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 500) = 0 (Timeout)
[pid 18604] poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}], 1, 500) = 0 (Timeout)
Before the electrical crash , all is ok.
I use :
- nagios 3.0.6
- NDOMOD 1.4b7 (10-31-2007)
Many thanks for any help / information

Re: [Nagios-users] clustered solution, how to edit configs?
Have you looked into DNX? Also I'm not positive but I think those instructions are for the 1.0 branch of Nagios which is relatively ancient.
