I'm afraid I don't have a lot of detail on this problem yet. On two occasions about a week apart, my nagios process has wedged itself. I'm using nagios-2.5 on amd64, with a Gentoo install. Its log contains (sanitized; these were all different hosts/services):
Oct 6 00:00:00 [nagios] CURRENT SERVICE STATE: some-host;some-service;OK;HARD;1;HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 0.568 second response time_ Oct 6 00:00:00 [nagios] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down..._ in one case (this was at midnight, directly after the logfile rotation), and [1160714430] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;some-host;some-service;0;Blah blah [1160714480] EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;some-host;some-service;0;Blah blah [1160714481] Caught SIGSEGV, shutting down... (this was *not* at midnight, so no fair blaming the logfile rotation) This seemed to start after I implemented a number of service checks for cronjobs; these are implemented as "OK" reports delivered via NSCA on successful completion of the cronjob, and a freshness check set to some small multiple of the cronjob frequency. Some of these cronjobs run every fifteen minutes on a half-dozen hosts, so it's a small but non-trivial amount of traffic. Based on mailing list archives, I tried bombarding nagios with nsca requests and watching its memory consumption -- it hovered at a reasonable number. I put nagios in debugging mode, which unfortunately makes it fairly unusable for actual monitoring, so I can't leave it in that mode for a week. I could not replicate the crash. My questions, then, are: * is there a known bug that could be causing this? * is there anything I can do to help track down what might be causing this next time it happens? Thanks!
