problem installing ndo2db/ndoutils on nagios 3.2.3

[sreinhardt]

Without some form of ndo2db service, the ndo module for nagios will have nothing to connect to. Try listing /etc/init.d/ for us and see if anything pops out there:

Code: Select all

ls -lva /etc/init.d
ls -lva /etc/rc.d

Looks like ubuntu calls it ndoutils instead of ndo2db. So lets start that, restart nagios, and see if you still get the same errors.

Code: Select all

service ndoutils start
servce nagios restart

Look at your logs, and post some back if you could.

i started again ndoutils and restarted nagios.

after restarting, the following appears in /var/lo/nagios3/nagio.log :

Code: Select all

[1397724599] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o' initialized successfully.

Any further errors concerning data sink, or do you see the message: "Successfully connected to data sink. " in your message log?

Code: Select all

grep "Successfully connected to data sink" /var/log/messages

[majed]

root@oversun:~# grep "connected" /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log

At this point, I believe we will need to try to recreate the issue in house, in order to further troubleshoot it. We will get back to you sometime tomorrow with the results. Thanks!

[majed]

well thank you. this is the end of the beginning

[abrist]

Just out of curiosity, have you attempted to use ndoutils 1.x instead of 2.x?

[majed]

I just installed the version that comes with apt-get.
