After putting a service in Fixed Downtime with any old Comment, Go to the Service's Detail page. The Entry Time should look correct for the comment associated with the downtime entry. Now restart Nagios. Go to the Service's Detail page again. This time the Entry Time is different! Apparently, the En...

Here's where they indicate that the values should be changed to 30/45 from 30/180: https://nagios.force.com/support/s/article/Last-Check-Time-Not-Updating-4f7efc76 But the default values in nagios.cfg with Core v4.4.6 are still the old ("buggy") values (30/180)! Can anyone from the Nagios ...

I am trying to understand how the auto rescheduling logic is supposed to work. The recommended values in nagios.cfg are: auto_reschedule_checks=1 auto_rescheduling_interval=30 auto_rescheduling_window=45 Supposedly this is after they realized the default values (same as above but with window=180) ha...

Well here's the reason. Would have been nice if the error indicated what's going on! https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/commit/3207e91193cb507401858a6136fc6e3fc257a236 The following macros are disabled: CHANGE_GLOBAL_HOST_EVENT_HANDLER CHANGE_GLOBAL_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER CHANGE_HOST_EVENT_H...

Im having no luck with this external command: /usr/bin/printf "[%lu] CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE>;ack_service\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd Nagios.log shows: 1647021762] EXTERNAL COMMAND: CHANGE_SVC_EVENT_HANDLER;<HOST>;<SERVICE>;ack_service [1647021762] Error: Ext...

I ended up making this change to the source code. I can assume if a service is in downtime or is Acknowledged it will already be not counted in the total alarm count. So the check for checks_enabled is redundant and incorrectly throws out passive services (seems checks_enabled is a flag that only re...

I believe the following summary macros are not accounting for Passive Services: $TOTALSERVICESCRITICALUNHANDLED$ (This is the one with which I see the problem directly) And I assume the following two have the same issue: $TOTALSERVICESWARNINGUNHANDLED$ $TOTALSERVICESUNKNOWNUNHANDLED$ Passive Service...

We are using NSCA to send encrypted passive check updates from one Nagios server ("Nagios1") to another ("Nagios2"). The issue is that using AES256 encryption works fine, but AES128 cannot get any messages to the receiving server. Versions: NSCA 2.9.2 JSendNSCA 2.1.1 BouncyCastle...

I switched the port from 636 to 3269, which supposedly is just as secure (uses SSL encryption).
Problem is solved.
Derived the fix from the Apache forums, so big thanks to @dwhitfield!

I have not tried the Apache forums yet.
Will do now. Thanks for the advice.
I'll update this thread as I get any new info.
