Nagios compiled clean, much to my delight. After reading through the changelog and making the required edits to my 1.x config files, I started Nagios up. Unfortunately, it hung. A quick look at top showed that it was consuming 99% CPU while it was hung. I ctrl-c’d out, and checked the logfiles. syslog had only the following entries:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Oct 13 09:45:09 am2dev nagios: Nagios 2.0a1 starting... (PID=31022)<o:p></o:p> Oct 13 09:45:09 am2dev nagios: LOG VERSION: 2.0<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I ran the config file syntax checker (nagios –v), and received the following output:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Nagios 2.0a1<o:p></o:p> Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Ethan Galstad (nagios@nagios.org)<o:p></o:p> Last Modified: 11-18-2003<o:p></o:p> License: GPL<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Reading configuration data...<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Running pre-flight check on configuration data...<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Checking services...<o:p></o:p> Checked 8 services.<o:p></o:p> Checking hosts...<o:p></o:p> Checked 4 hosts.<o:p></o:p> Checking host groups...<o:p></o:p> Checked 3 host groups.<o:p></o:p> Checking service groups...<o:p></o:p> Checked 0 service groups.<o:p></o:p> Checking contacts...<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> That’s where it hangs and eats the processor. I let it sit for about 10 minutes before finally ctrl-c’ing out. The symptoms are easily reproducible.
