Hi, I've searched on this problem, and haven't found anyone else experiencing it in any mailing list archive or forum. What could be causing these timeouts, and how badly are they harming my data?
Details: I have PNP installed and almost working with NPCD on FreeBSD 7.0/amd64, with nagios 3.0.2. Nagios gathers perfdata and puts it in the perfcache. process_perfdata frequently runs, and puts data into RRDs. The process_perfdata.pl debugging log shows all sorts of successful updates, but then I get an entry like this: 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] No Custom Template found for check_dcerpc (/usr/local/etc/pnp//check_commands/check_dcerpc.cfg) 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] RRD Datatype is GAUGE 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] Template is check_dcerpc.php 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] data2rrd called 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] RRDs::update /var/spool/nagios/pnp/rrd/viper025.am.local/Windows_DCERPC.rrd 1223396130:0.002143 2008-10-07 12:15:39 [62022] *** CRITICAL Timeout after 5 Sec. **** When this occurs a perfdata file remains, such as: service-perfdata.1223396254-PID-88114 This file is not deleted. Once NPCD thinks it's done, it processes these files again renames it to: service-perfdata.1223396194-PID-87765-PID-90732 If I let NPCD run, it eventually processes and removes all of these files. If these errors cause occasional blank spots in my graphs, that's OK; I can live with that while I investigate the timeouts. If they will cause obviously incorrect or misleading graphs, that's more serious and requires that I shut down user access to PNP until I debug it. (No data is better than wrong data!) Any thoughts, folks? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
