The reason why this happens is because there's another instance of nagios running.. Why? I don't know but I fixed that problema quite simple
I would like to share It with other that may have the same problem. For some bizarre reason, a 90% nagios instance is runing in my server and that one does not let the original do the monitoring. I wrote a simple script that check for any nagios proc above 90% and kill it... It may not be a solution, however my nagios it's being Working fine since I did that.. ;) #!/bin/sh nagiospid=$(ps -aux | awk '{print($3 >= 90)?$2:"false"}' | grep -v "false") if [ -z $nagiospid ] ; then echo "no nagios pid found" else kill -9 $nagiospid fi #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, that's the strange part it keep refreshing with the old pid If the Nagios is "up" and you run: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/config/objects]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 1 -C '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios' //result NAGIOS OK: 1 process, status log updated 11 seconds ago If the Nagios is "down" and you run: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/config/objects]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nagios -F /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat -e 1 -C '/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios' //result NAGIOS CRITICAL: Cannot open status log for reading! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 11:03 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Nagios-users Digest, Vol 27, Issue 7 Send Nagios-users mailing list submissions to nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can reach the person managing the list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Nagios-users digest..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
