I just had the same issue on SLES 11 SP 3. Creating the files /var/spool/icinga2/tmp/{host,service}-perfdata and chowning them to "icinga" got Icinga 2 starting again.

I see this problem on Icinga v2.4.10, where both directories are on the same mount point and owned by icinga.

EDITED: I thought I had fixed it, but that was not the case...This is still ongoing.

Apparently this can still happen in 2.5.2 as well.

Updated by Benedikt1992 on 2017-01-13 15:16:35 00:00

With Version 2.5.4 it happens as well. Even with a brand new installation. I would suggest to reopen this issue

This happens to me too.
This is icinga 2.6.0-2 installed from Debian Stretch packages.
When I restart icinga2 it complains about the perfdata-files.

critical/ConfigItem: Error: Function call 'rename' for file '/var/spool/icinga2/tmp/host-perfdata' failed with error code 2, 'No such file or directory'
	(0) Activating object 'perfdata' of type 'PerfdataWriter'
 critical/ConfigItem: 1 error
critical/cli: Error activating configuration.

To successfully restart icinga2 I have to do:
rm /var/spool/icinga2/tmp/*-perfdata ; /etc/init.d/icinga2 restart

Please let me know if you need more information.

Just had the same issue on r2.10.2-1.

rm /var/spool/icinga2/tmp/*-perfdata ; /etc/init.d/icinga2 restart lets me get icinga2 started, but it does not fix the issue permanently.

Ran into this issue on icinga2 2.10.5-1.stretch, debian 9

critical/Application: Error: Function call 'rename' for file '/var/spool/icinga2/tmp/service-perfdata' failed with error code 2, 'No such file or directory'

Ran the suggested fix and worked. Have not had an issue with restarting services since I last had to restart them prior to the last patch of the application.
