Go to Admin > Manage Components, and click on "Check for Updates", then "Install Updates". You should be able to install the newest version of the Metrics component (1.3.4). Try adding a new report under the new Metrics component to see if this is going to fix your issue. We will keep the thread open until we hear back from you.

Upgrade completed. Current version is now Nagios XI 5.6.9. However, we still encounter an issue with setting up a schedule report using "Metrics" it still resets to 4 hours. In addition to that, while we run a test mail with attachment with the metrics reports, it seems it stuck/unable to receive and we are getting this error in logs.

Upgrade completed. Current version is now Nagios XI 5.6.9. However, we still encounter an issue with setting up a schedule report using "Metrics" it still resets to 4 hours.
So, it seems you upgraded Nagios XI to version 5.6.9. This is fine, but I actually asked you to upgrade the Metrics component to version 1.3.4 by going to:

Admin > Manage Components > Check for Updates > Install Updates

Can you verify that you are using the latest version of Metrics component?

After upgrading the Metrics component, add one of the metrics graph with a time period set to "Last Month" to a dashboard. Then, go to this dashbaord, and schedule the page. Use a report name that you haven't used before. Email this report and see if the graph shows last month as intended.

Note: Issues with notifications and wrong time periods in reports are unrelated. I would recommend that you troubleshoot notifications by following the steps, outlined in the KB article below:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... ms-36.html

If you are still unable to fix the issue, please start a new thread on the forum as this is a different problem.
It seems the mode and group was changed. Kindly advise the next step.
I don't know why this happened by it doesn't necessarily mean it's a problem. The apache user is added to the nagios group on your system, isn't it? What is the output of the command below?

Code: Select all

grep nag /etc/group

451 Authentication failed: Maximum credits exceeded
That looks like an issue with your mail provider.

Code: Select all

451    `Authentication failed: Maximum credits exceeded`    There is a credit limit of emails per day enforced in error. [Contact support](https://support.sendgrid.com/hc/en-us) to remove that limit.
