Scheduled Reports PDF Broken

We have a couple of reports that appear to be broken after we upgraded to 5.2.9 (one of the reports only runs once a month, so we didn't catch it until today) We get the email that has the page.pdf attachment, but when we try to open it, the browser says that the file is corrupt. When I look at the ...

Re: More RESTapi Fun

Thanks for that solution; I'll give that a shot, but was trying to avoid adding any services manually (or via the CLI) - just want to add the hosts because I want them to inherit the services assigned to the predefined host group. Let me try to do a better job of explaining of what happens here so y...

Re: Display NOC on remote Web Screen with update interval

We have 4 x 52" monitors in our NOC and have a computer hooked up to them all (a Mac) and have a browser opened on each monitor with the Operations View running on one of the monitors along with other web pages displayed on the other monitors. We've forced the Mac to turn off power saving / scr...

Re: More RESTapi Fun

This is still horribly broken... I installed 5.2.9 on a new system and tried adding a new system to a nonexistent host group: curl -XPOST "http://10.10.10.5/nagiosxi/api/v1/config/hostgroup?apikey=<SECRET_KEY>&pretty=1" -d "host_name=webtraffic.example.com&address=10.10.10.78&...

Re: Unable to ACK (again)

Last thing to check is the /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py script. Maybe something is wrong in that file and could be causing the issue. Could you post it? Check it how? FWIW: That process was running during each instance when we had problems, but basically we just killed it and the snmptt daemo...

Re: Adding redundant Nagios server = issues?

This has been pretty in-demand, but we haven't documented this process yet or written a script for it. That's what I was afraid of... Is there any documentation on how the Postgres database is laid out and what that database looks like on the MySQL side? If I can get some access to that, I'm willin...

Re: Unable to ACK (again)

One thing we have had people try is to restart the snmptt daemon when the nagios process is restarted. You could try that and see if it helps. Add this /etc/init.d/snmptt restart to the /etc/init.d/nagios init script around line 196 so the 2 processes will get restarted at the same time. I added th...

Re: Adding redundant Nagios server = issues?

I assumed that was the case, so my thinking on this was to keep the new server in a cold state (the box is running, but Nagios wouldn't be) and in the event that the primary Nagios server died, I would start Nagios on the new server and it could connect to the database. In the event that the primary...

Re: Unable to ACK (again)

Was working on other projects since the last post from tgreip and just saw this. Out of frustration/desperation, I shut down snmptt daemon and killed all the python scripts that were referencing it. That *SEEMS* to have fixed it. No loss of our acking super powers for the past couple of weeks. I'd l...

Adding redundant Nagios server = issues?

I was going to try to bring this up at the NWC this year, but will have to ask this here instead: Currently, I have a Nagios server running version 5.2.5 (which has been upgraded several times starting from version 4.x which means that it uses both MySQL and Postgres). I have offloaded the MySQL dat...
