Nagios 2.0 hanging on startup, consuming 99% CPU

[Daniel maher]

Hello all,

 

I grabbed the 2.x CVS release yesterday.  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:

 

Oct 13 09:45:09 am2dev nagios: Nagios 2.0a1 starting... (PID=31022)

Oct 13 09:45:09 am2dev nagios: LOG VERSION: 2.0

 

I ran the config file syntax checker (nagios -v), and received the following output:

 

Nagios 2.0a1

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.  Here is the *only* contact definition in my contacts.cfg:

 

define contact{

        contact_name                    nagios

        alias                           Nagios Admin

        host_notification_period        24x7

        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r

        host_notification_options       d,u,r

        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email

        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email

        email                           dmaher at acetechnology.com

        }

 

Does anybody have any ideas?
