Good day all! It's me again. Before I get too detailed, I'd just like a sanity check on what is supposed to happen. Let's say we have a nagios.cfg series of entries like this:
host_perfdata_file=/tmp/host.perfdata host_perfdata_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATEID$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$ service_perfdata_file=/tmp/service.perfdata service_perfdata_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t'$SERVICEOUTPUT$' host_perfdata_file_mode=a service_perfdata_file_mode=a If I understand this correctly, the Nagios process opens the two files and starts appending the information in the format supplied above, correct? I've checked, and Nagios is opening the files. [root@g-caon-spdtst-tor01 tmp]# lsof | grep perfdata nagios 6941 nagios 6w REG 8,3 0 1983833 /tmp/host.perfdata nagios 6941 nagios 7w REG 8,3 0 1983834 /tmp/service.perfdata [root@g-caon-spdtst-tor01 tmp]# ps awx | grep nagios 6941 ? Ssl 0:12 /usr/sbin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg [root@g-caon-spdtst-tor01 tmp]# ls -l *.perfdata -rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 0 2011-06-13 18:01 host.perfdata -rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 0 2011-06-13 18:01 service.perfdata [root@g-caon-spdtst-tor01 tmp]# If I understand all of the above, this file should be collecting the information dumped to it, and getting larger and larger and larger.... As it stands, nothing is going into the files. Thoughts? I'm sure it's something simple and I'm overlooking it.
