The web server and the CGIs are chrooted, but Nagios core is out of the jail. We use symlinks to ensure the communication between the CORE and the CGIs.<o:p></o:p> We notice that some hosts and services suddenly disappear on the web interface. According to the FAQ, this is due to multiple main nagios process in memory. <o:p></o:p> We are sure that Nagios init script is run just once and then watch nagios processes <o:p></o:p> Here is the result:<o:p></o:p> -bash-3.1# ps -eaf|grep -i nagios.cfg|grep -v grep;echo;echo;echo<o:p></o:p> nagios 8188 1 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 10334 1 3 Feb 19 ? 138:44 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8200 10334 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8197 1 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -bash-3.1# ps -eaf|grep -i nagios.cfg|grep -v grep;echo;echo;echo<o:p></o:p> nagios 8188 1 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 10334 1 3 Feb 19 ? 138:44 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8200 10334 1 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8204 8200 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -bash-3.1# ps -eaf|grep -i nagios.cfg|grep -v grep;echo;echo;echo<o:p></o:p> nagios 8188 1 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 10334 1 3 Feb 19 ? 138:44 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8204 1 0 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> nagios 8210 10334 1 15:15:24 ? 0:00 /usr/local/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/etc/nagios.cfg<o:p></o:p> Main process id is 10334, and we see it forking frequently. Some childs fork in turn, then die, letting orphan processes …<o:p></o:p> What about those orphan processes staying in memory ? Is it Nagios’ normal behaviour ? Do services and host disappear suddenly because of this ?<o:p></o:p> Thanks for your advices !<o:p></o:p> Regards<o:p></o:p> Xavier</div> <hr size="1"> Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail ! <a href="http://fr.rd.yahoo.com/mail/mail_taglines/trueswitch/SIG=11gshn0bu/**http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trueswitch.com%2Fyahoo-fr%2F">Copiez vos mails</a> vers Yahoo!
