Another Nagios Problem.

[Fulton, David]

I never said I wouldn't supply the coders with what they need. I would
expect that those who coded it could point me in the right direction. I
have thus far tried changing how I get my data into perfparse and
changing my timeperiods so that there are no overlapping times (i.e.
from 00:00 - 24:00 to 00:00-23:59) since it always happens overnight and
the problem crops up after midnight I have to wait until then to get
more data. Other than that I am using FreeBSD 6.2 with the latest
plugins (1.4.10), nrpe, nsca and perfparse (the performance data is send
to files via a command definition that calls a perl script that writes
it to a file. Perparse picks it up via a cron job that runs every 5
minutes).

The purpose of the nagios-users list is to obtain help when one gets
stuck not to have someone tell them how they should be able to do their
own support. I have set up a complex piece of software and have been
running it since version 3.0b1. To my knowledge, there are only so many
sources of information that I could provide. Nagios doesn't stop,
doesn't run a particular command. It simply starts orphaning check
results after midnight every day. Turning on debugging does not give any
indication as to why. If I truss (strace) the process it immediately
spawns a new copy of itself that consumes all CPU time on whatever CPU
it is running on without returning anything.

You are asking for help on a test version. If you use that version you
should be able to do your own support unless you can provide concrete
information a coder can use to troubleshoot.

No one knows your setup on the mailinglist. So unless you are explicit
and elaborate there is little to go on. Anyway I suggest you turn to the
developers mailingist for experimental versions. There are the people
who will do the coding.
