starting and stopping nagios log server

[Monica7]

Hi,

How to start and stop the nagios log server in Linux server (where nagios log server is installed)?

[rkennedy]

Could you please clarify what you're trying to do exactly?

If it's as simple as you're asking, then NLS depends on multiple different services to run, it doesn't have its own. These are httpd, elasticsearch, and logstash.

Code: Select all

service stop httpd
service stop elasticsearch
service stop logstash

Thanks Kennedy

Hi Kenedy ,

In order to start and stop the nagios log server In nagios web interface, we have to go to Administration ->system status. right?

But status of elastic search and logstash is keep on loading.i couldn't able to see any icon to restart .I have been waited for 10 to 15 mins but still it was loading. how to resolve this issue.

You cannot do this from the Web UI. This needs to be done from the terminal.

You cannot do this from the Web UI. This needs to be done from the terminal.

You should probably remove the line on the System Status page that says "The system status shows the important required components statuses and allows you to start/stop/restart them from the web UI."

I get the same thing as Monica7, no start/stop/restart buttons ever appear. Not that I'd trust them anyways . That's an always-CLI operation in my book.

I think I provided bad information, the button is present to do it, but it doesn't seem to work correctly for me. I'll test this further.

Are you using SSL on your server, or is it behind a load balancer by chance?

What version of LogServer are you on?

[Monica7]

Hi,

Please find the version details below.

Nagios Log Server 1.4.1
Elasticsearch 1.6.0
Logstash 1.5.1
Kibana 3.1.1-nagios3

SSL configuration is there in my environment. But I didn't do any configuration which is specific to nagios log server
