service nagios restart not restarting nagios

The command "service nagios restart" isn't actually restarting nagios for some unknown reason.
I can type it until i'm blue in the face and my config changes will never take effect because the service doesn't restart. My only work around is to reboot the whole server.
Nagios also doesn't start at boot up. I have to manually start it.
Any ideas how to resolve this?

What OS is this? Does running service nagios restart say anything about stopping and starting or does it bring you directly to a prompt? What if you run /etc/init.d/nagios restart?
Run:
chkconfig --add nagios
chkconfig nagios on
and then that you can see nagios listed when you run chkconfig.

it just runs and doesn't display anything and brings me back to a prompt when I check the nagios page nothing has changed..

when I run that it says
Code: Select all
[ ok ] Restarting nagios (via systemctl): nagios.service.
However the changes still aren't applied.

In that case:
Code: Select all
sudo update-rc.d nagios default
sudo update-rc.d nagios enable

@t3dus, What version of Nagios core are you running? How did you install it? If you provide us with the manual you used that would help.
Also, was this a clean install or has your Nagios Core been working for a while?
Can you also run the following command:
Code: Select all
tar -zcvf /tmp/supporttar.tar.gz /usr/local/nagios/
That would create a supporttar.tar.gz in the /tmp/ directory that you can upload here.

Got some errors..
Code: Select all
# sudo update-rc.d nagios default
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
-n: not really
-f: force
The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.
Code: Select all
# sudo update-rc.d nagios enable
update-rc.d: error: no runlevel symlinks to modify, aborting!

Think I may nuke this server.
Seems flaky because websites it's monitoring keep going up/down every few minutes so it's spamming my e-mail with false alerts. Must be some sort of a hardware issue or something. I'm not sure though but not sure it's worth my time...
My VPS nagios server is working fine yet so whatever.. I just wanted this one to monitor my home network but seems it isn't going to work for that.

It's possible this website service check was flapping?
Were there any other questions?

No cuz my other nagios server isn't reporting any issues. Just my home nagios server is.
I have two nagios servers monitoring the same sites.

Are they using different network devices?

Will you stop using this Nagios server? Or did you want to continue troubleshooting this?
Let us know how you would like to continue. Thanks!
