Wow have I stuffed something!
ops:
I have been adding hosts (slowly) - now up to about 50
I have now applied a set of changes (the last 10 hosts I have added) and the system has gone nuts!
I have a Debian box running Sarge, with 500Mb RAM and 1.5Gb Virtual RAM, a 2.8Ghz processor and an 80Gb HDD (no probs with capacity)
After using Oreon to generate the config files (which took about 4 minutes) I then tried to restart the nagios service (again from the Oreon interface). Took 5 minutes and then reported "Running configuration check...failed - aborting restart".
OK says me, I have stuffed something up (typical). I went back through the files in detail (both the web interface and looking at the files on the server itself). No joy. Everything looked right.
I restarted the box. No joy.
I then noticed some system messages like "order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)" Chasing this on Google indicates that I have used ALL of the memory (both physical and virtual). WOW that's a big chunk of memory!
I confirmed this while restarting Nagios and watching "free" as the memory dropped to nothing and the system aborted.
Any ideas?
