Re: Failed Upgrade to 2026R1.2

Hi Will, It looks like libcurl-devel package isn't installed. For an EL based system run the following as root and then retry the upgrade. dnf install libcurl-devel -y For a Debian or Ubuntu system you'll want to run the following (as root) and retry the upgrade. apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev...

Re: nagiosramdisk filling up

Hi wneville, Well there are a couple of things that could be happening. Probably the best starting point would be to confirm that npcd is running: systemctl status npcd Next make sure the nagios user account and passwd are not expired at the OS level. The password can be locked for the nagios user b...

Re: 2026 Upgrade with MariaDB

Hi Rich, Unfortunately there is growing divergence between MySQL and MariaDB and this problem can be complicated by OS specific package dependencies. Generally speaking our recommendation is to stay with the database that was originally installed but if you want to change to MariaDB you can definite...

Re: Host Groups, Templates, and Contact Inheritance

Hi logisbk, Object Inheritance can be surprisingly complex. You may want to take a look at the sections, " Local Variables vs. Inherited ", " Additive Inheritance of String Values " and " Multiple Inheritance Sources " in our document on object inheritance: https://asse...

Re: Control over MRTG databases

Hi juergen, Thank you for your patience and that's an interesting question. Unfortunately we do not have a way to adjust the RRD files via the interface and our implementation of MRTG is intended to work with the 5 minute cadence. It sounds like you've updated the call in cron correctly but you may ...

Re: Unknown column 'idSlaveS' while opening servicegroups

Hi Eric, Sorry I missed your reply previously. The issue was related to an imprecise string match and usually the problem is triggered by someone putting a service group inside of another service group in CCM. It shouldn't be a problem for the upgrade but as always we recommend making sure you've go...

Re: Unknown column 'idSlaveS' while opening servicegroups

Hi Eric, It looks like you ran into an issue in the 2024R1.1.x branches and should be resolved in 2024R1.2.2. The problem often is triggered when someone puts a service group inside a service group. Your best bet is to upgrade to a newer version. For reference here is the relevant line from the chan...

Re: NagiosXI - Perf Graph No data to display Upgrade 1.1.4 to 1.4.1

Hi vdrnagiosml, The restore process is intended to be done on a system running the same version of XI as the source machine ( in your case 1.1.4 ). The quickest thing to do might be to build a fresh Linux image rather than use the ova image, install the same version of XI it and then perform the res...

Re: disable email from automysqlbackup

Hello, So automysqlbackup is a shell script that resides in root's home directory ( usually /root/scripts/automysqlbackup ) and is run via cron. You can edit the script directly and change the email address ( around line 58 ) or you can comment out the lines with the mail commands ( including one us...

Re: Ubuntu 22.04 - E: Package 'php-pdo' has no installation candidate

Hi @dunderwood, So that's a good question but it really depends upon where the script failed as to whether or not the installation can be salvaged. Generally speaking if you have a good snapshot it's best to start with a clean image. Based on what I am seeing in the logs should probably start with a...
