Nagios Support Forum

So I am installing a brand new Nagios XI setup. After the installation is completed two things are happening. First I am getting this error within Nagios: The following configuration files have incorrect permissions: /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=-rw-rw-r--) /usr/...

Awesome that answers my question. It is all a matter of tuning. Thanks.

Is there a way for a service check to force a host check before emailing the contact list about the service being down. I.E nagios detects a service down and then emails me about the service even though the host is down but nagios just hasn't seen that yet. I would rather after nagios see's that a s...

Thanks, we can close this case.

Sorry to keep bugging. I know this is kind of bordering on a consultation so again this will be my last question. What exactly do you mean by a RAM disk?

Sounds good enough. I will take that approach. As far as the standard XI setup (one server) how many checks does I/O usually start to become a problem with 4 cpus and about 8gb-16gm of ram. (Final question just to determine if it is a problem with nagios or a problem with the server itself) (really ...

Not really. It seems to have stopped after I deleted a bunch of checks. I am pretty sure it is / was just an IO issue. Is this an issue people see with VM's versus hardware deployments or? Gearman looks like it may be what I am looking for but what is a recommended deployment for it and does it scal...

Currently using Nagios XI 2014 R2.5 This is after toning back a lot: Active Service checks: 1-min 505 5-min 2,461 15-min 2,553 Host checks: 1-min 58 5-min 349 15-min 369 A lot of the checks are using mrtg for graphing (bandwidth checks) I would turn off the 1 min checks if I could find them in the c...

Hi, We have been having issues with checks timing out with 100+ second timeouts occasionally every couple of days causing a lot of false alerts. Even after removing a lot of checks that are not needed this still occasionally happens. I would like to make a front end servers for the web front end and...

Code: Select all

launchctl stop org.nagios.nrpe

will actually stop the nrpe process.

Try running the following commands:

Code: Select all

killall nrpe
launchctl start org.nagios.nrpe

then schedule a forced immediate check from XI to test it.

Looks like that did it. Thanks guys.
