Nagios Hang?

[Mike Koponick]

I'm running Nagios 2.0 (Stable) on Redhat 9.0, in a distributed
environment. I'm utilizing NSCA for checks and all appears to be working
properly.

 

I'm running into several issues that seemed to have "started all of a
sudden".

 

1)       On my distributed server, I don't see syslog messages any
longer, with the exception of "INITIAL SERVICE STATE" messages. Syslog
is working, and in the nagios.cfg file, "nagios.cfg:use_syslog=1" I used
to see all the check messages, etc. Nothing in the configuration has
changed to the best of my knowledge. 

 

2)       Nagios appears to "hang" on the remote sensor. Once I receive
notifications that network devices are down, I never see a recovery of
the network devices, even though they are recovered. The work around is
to restart nagios with "service nagios restart". Sometimes, this takes
multiple tries. 

 

3)       When I have a massive network outage, I receive the appropriate
alerts but I receive multiple "PROBLEM" notifications. I'm only using
service checks (I'm only using check_ping currently) and the
notification_interval set to "0", which according to the documentation
should limit the amount of messages I'm receiving to "1", unless I'm
using the service escalations, which I am not at this time. I am not
receiving multiple notifications for "OK" messages, which is what I
would expect.

 

 

Sorry about the novel but these have frustrated me into drinking lots of
beer.
