Hi Assaf, I haven't encountered it before, but my feeling would be to look for a file 2^31 bytes in size (2147483648)... maybe the nagios logfile? If that doesn't help, you could try strace'ing the nagios process... Cheers, Guy. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 3:22 PM, Assaf Flatto <<a href="mailto:assaf.flatto@ssp-intl.com">assaf.flatto@ssp-intl.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hello I have nagios 3.0,6 from source running on SLES 10.2 (i586) . and i had it running for a long time with no issues. in the last couple of days it started crashing .
