For a while I have been seeing a daily ODW_STATUS_WARNING about no updates since 03:59:59 on my master opsview server. I was 90% sure this was due to the load that I put on the server (load average sits around 6 and goes up to 13 at certain times of the day) but still got bored of running cleanup_import and then import_runtime -i 1.

I started off by manually clearing out all but 1 week of data from the runtime database (this is run as part of opsview_master_housekeep for various tables) and this didnt resolve the issue. In the end I modified my cron table so that the rc.opsview cron_daily task runs 30 minutes later (at 41 minutes past the hour instead of 11 minutes past. Since changing that I seem to have had no further re-occurrences of the No update prompt.

I am aware that each time I update Opsview I am going to have to make this change until I manage to move the databases to their own host and rebuild the master server onto new hardware but its a workaround for now!

For reference the crontab now looks like:
