<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> I'm running Nagios on a little VPS box checking a few hosts/services (~50 checks). It's mostly a testing platform for me and checks in on my other test VPS systems. However I keep seeing the extra check results data files build up in /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults like: -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 249 Jun 7 23:45 checknbu01O -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 Jun 8 02:40 checkHxcsiJ -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 291 Jun 8 03:52 checkcyaOva -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 280 Jun 8 04:46 checknlLs4b -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 250 Jun 8 05:52 checkCMATnr -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 06:21 checkrblxgG -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 252 Jun 8 07:30 checkikZPk8 -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 09:14 check47NrJf -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 285 Jun 8 13:34 check4g81jo -rw------- 1 nagios nagios 249 Jun 8 15:15 checkvFH7JT Some days there will be one or two, some days there will be 30-50. The days w/ more entries seems to be the days with more alerts. The files will just build up and build up for months if I do not manually delete them. I've also seen my one server w/ a passive check, not properly update back to the dummy default value of OK on occassion. I've tried tweaking the various config variables like: max_check_result_file_age=3600, and check_result_reaper_*. I thought it may have been a performance issue with my little VPS, but the memory and CPU load (thanks Nagiosgraph), all seem pretty flat. My typically check interval is 5minutes. With only ~50 checks it shouldn't be THAT much load. Googled a bit and didn't come up with much relevant.
