[estherpeddi]

Please help!
i get the below error after I complete configuring SQL server Monitoring Wizard -
An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to the monitoring engine. Contact your Nagios administrator if this problem persists.

Can you please do the following:

Navigate to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Write Config Tool.

From here click each of the 3 buttons moving from top to bottom, post the output from each of the three here in a reply. Thanks!

[estherpeddi]

Hi, thanks for responding! Im using the free trial version and i do not have access to CCM, please advise. Thanks!

[slansing]

Does your account not have Admin privileges? You should have access to the CCM regardless as it is the main tool used to modify configuration files within XI.

Im using nagiosadmin account, how can i check to see if it has admin priivileges?

[lmiltchev]

Go to:

Admin->System Config->Reset Security Credentials

and enter a password that you would like to use to log in CCM in the "New Config Manager Admin Password" filed. Don't change anything else under "Sub-System Credentials"! Click on "Update Credentials".

Log in the CCM:

Configure->Core Configuration Manager

username: nagiosadmin
password: <your new password>

Then go to: Tools->Write Config Files->click on Write and Verify buttons, and copy/paste the output.

Nevermind i was able to reset password to be used for CCM, will send you the output soon.

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files... 

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid 
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous 
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions 
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read 
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the 
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

[sreinhardt]

It seems that you have defined the host 'crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com' to be a parent of itself, which is not possible. Go into CCM, under hosts, modify that one, then manage parents, and remove it from there. If this is applied by a template or hostgroup it may be a little more tricky but should just be modifying the additional object in the same manor.

To fix the following error:

Code: Select all

Error: Host 'crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com' cannot be a child/parent of itself
Error: Could not add parent host 'crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com' to host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com.cfg', starting on line 14) 

Hosts cannot be children or parents of themselves.
You will need to go to the CCM --> Hosts --> Click on the host 'crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com' --> On the common settings tab, click on "Manage Parents" --> remove the host 'crplivdba2.citnet.cit.com' from the list.

Save out and apply configuration.
