Thanks for that. I've been using the tarballs from the website, not the package, but I do have different filesystems. /usr is separate, and got full all on its own.

I deleted retention.dat while Icinga was stopped, and that slowed down the endless emails, but I am still getting inaccurate emails from the services.

i have absolutely no idea what an inaccurate mail would be. can you elaborate that by example, pick a service definition, describe the state changes (by log example), verify the contacts to be notified and show the actual notification happening (log, mail). in case this is not sufficient, increase debuglevel for notifications and see how they pass viability checks and so on. check wiki for that.

Do I need to stop Icinga and IDO2DB, then delete retention.dat and status.dat, and then remove all the entries in the MySQL database? Reinstall Icinga? I've gotten 400+ notification emails in the last 24 hours and it's gotten a bit ridiculous.

Probably retention.dat is the place you are looking for. Retained data is kept and re-read on reload/Start. See the docs for more information. And a hint - use packages and different filesystems like /, /var and /usr.

    Hi all,

    So I've been using Icinga for about 6 months now, love what it's
    able to do. Recently my /usr partition got full, and Icinga
    started having troubles. I got the folder back down to a
    reasonable size, but Icinga hasn't been working right since.
    Debian 6.0 system, Icinga 1.5.1, MySQL.

    The issue that is confusing me the most, is that I had a service
    that was critical before the problems started, and even after
    deleting the service from the cfg files, then creating a
    new service that isn't critical with the same name, I still get
    notification emails about the critical service.

    In /usr/local/icinga/var, the status.dat file has the information
    from the old service, and even after deleting the service
    definition from the cfg files, and deleting all references to the
    old service from my MySQL database, and deleting status.dat while
    Icinga and IDO2DB were stopped, upon restarting status.dat has
    the information from th e old service again, and I keep getting
    notification emails about the critical service.

    I created a new service with the same name as the old one, and
    now I get alternating problem and recovery emails every couple
    minutes.

    Is there a place to flush old service definitions, or a file
    other than the cfg where the service definition might be stored?
    I am completely perplexed.

    Thanks,
