xidpe

My /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe directory has over 400k files which is preventing any other files from being created on /usr.

My Trial had expired and was extended. Does that have anything to do with it? What happens if I clear these files out?

Thanks.

The xidpe directory is responsible for holding your perfdata. It's possible that your Nagios XI box is overloaded, which is a reason why xidpe data can stack up. Check out the following FAQ entry and give the procedure a try: https://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.p ... ve_No_Data

The trial expiration shouldn't have anything to do with that, however you will need to clear those files out. As root, run the following:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
cd /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe
find . -type f -delete
service nagios start

This will delete the files which will lose some historical data, but should get you back up and running.

Sounds good - let us know the results. Thanks!

All performance graphs are empty. Does it take some time for them to show data again?

A few checks will need to run for your performance graphs to begin populating properly. Is your xidpe directory creating and emptying files properly on its own? It would be worth watching it for a little while to ensure it's working properly:

Code: Select all

watch -n1 'ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe'

It can take up to about 15 minutes. Also, you might consider increasing the load_threshold value in /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg to 10x whatever your CPU count is, then running service npcd restart.

The directory just keeps growing.

Could all the read statuses be the cause?
