Auto-Discovery job does not return any services

Post by stf_792 »

Nagios XI v 5.63 / 5.65

Auto-discovery v 1.4.2

When I run new Auto-Discovery scan, it does not detect any services

I tried with custom ports empty and with 1-1000 value - no difference.

When I look on results from older scans still saved (from 2016) I see that all services are detected and listed

Is there any tricks to detect services on newer versions of XI when running auto-discovery wizard?


Thank you

Hi,

So it was working in 5.63 and then stopped when you upgraded to 5.65. Is this correct? Let's check the permission on the auto discovery folder and post the output to the thread:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery
ls -l 
Can your run the following tail command and then attempt to run the Auto-Discovery and post the output. Thanks.

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/*error_log

It does not work on either 5.63 (Production) or 5.65 (Test) systems.

Test systems has a job from 2016; results of that job show services.

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery
ls -l

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios 12800 Aug 27 13:15 autodiscovery.inc.php

tail command did not produce any errors.

also this post describe the same problem (I do not know how to check nmap output) https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=35396

suggestion to update nmap probably not going to work as my version is

Code: Select all

nmap-6.47-1.x86_64

UPDATE:

Removing Exclusions solves the problem of detecting services. But the issue is that I have to use exclusions for my scans.

Hello,

Please run the following command as root and then try running the Autodiscovery again with exclusions and let me know if it resolves the issue.

Code: Select all

chmod g+w /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs
If it fails again, can you post a screen shot for us to review. Thanks.
