Whoops, that was supposed to be a service npcd restart on the last one. Please try that and report back.

Also, can you post or PM your /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache? If you choose to PM, please make sure you update this thread after doing so, so that it pops back up on our support dashboard.

Thanks. NPCD is running. The configuration must be ok, since in the original machine has the same configuration and PNP4Nagios works.

In the destination machine, the perfdata.log shows the error:

In the original machine does find any problem in updating all what it needs and it has also de same rights.

On both machines (the working and the non-working), please post the results of the two following command.

Code: Select all

ntpstat
ntpq -pn
As for NPCD, I understood that it was running, but sometimes restarting the process kicks things back into gear.

Another thing that can cause these issues is duplicate checks. If you post your objects.cache, I can help you look through it for duplicate checks.

In both machines:
ntpstat
Unable to talk to NTP daemon. Is it running?
ntpq -pn
ntpq: read: Connection refused.

Let's install ntp, if it isn't: yum install ntp ntpdate ntp-doc

Either after installed, or if it is already installed let's turn on ntp: systemctl start ntpd

Why it works on one and not the other I couldn't tell you. My hunch is the time is just not set on the one not working.
