Nagios Support Forum

Posted: **Fri Nov 30, 2018 5:10 am**

Hello,

I came across a problem in my MariaDB Nagios Database. The nagios_objects tablespace is displaying special Characters instead of host and service names.

Here is an example of how it looks like when it displays special characters (phpMyAdmin)

Now in the same database and in the same table (nagios_objects) I also have values which are being displayed correctly (name1: hostname, name2: servicename). It seems that after a while Nagios started to write special characters into the table, but I'm not sure about that and I also don't know what the reason could be. Maybe you guys can help me, please

I am using Nagios Core 4.3.4 with ndo2db 2.1.2. The MariaDB Database is on a seperate VM with MariaDB version 5.5.56.

Kind regards!

Was the default character set / collation of your ndo2db database, or the character set / collation for the nagios_objects table, changed recently?

Please run these mysql commands to show the info:

Code: Select all: use nagios; SELECT @@character_set_database, @@collation_database; SELECT * FROM information_schema.SCHEMATA WHERE schema_name = 'nagios'; SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, character_set_name, collation_name FROM information_schema.COLUMNS WHERE table_schema = 'nagios' AND table_name = 'nagios_objects';

Hey and thank you for your reply!

I haven't changed the collation or the character set since the installation. The collation of the nagios database is utf8_general_ci. The Server connection collation dispalyed in phpMyAdmin is utf8mb4_unicode_ci.

Code: Select all: echo $LANG

returns

Code: Select all: en_US.UTF-8

on both the Nagios and MariaDB VM.

Here's the output of those commands

I now see that the character_set_name and collation_name of colums name1 and name2 is different from utf8_general_ci. Could that be the problem? If yes then why are there values that displayed correctly?

Those are proper, the same as mine.

What is the output of this command?

Code: Select all: mysql -uroot -pYOURROOTPASS nagios -e "select * from nagios_objects where object_id = '36723';"

Hello and thank your for your reply!

Here's the output of the command you sent me

Code: Select all: +-----------+-------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+-----------+ | object_id | instance_id | objecttype_id | name1 | name2 | is_active | +-----------+-------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+-----------+ | 36723 | 1 | 2 | ÃÃâ ¢ÂµâU | ÃÃâ ¢ÂµâU | 0 | +-----------+-------------+---------------+---------------+---------------+-----------+

Did anything change recently? Like did you upgrade Core or NDO2DB, run yum updates, etc?

Are you doing updates to the DB through PHPMyAdmin or interacting directly with the nagios DB through a script or another automated process that could be doing it?

I did run yum update on both machines some time after the installation. Here's what yum history info on nagios and ndoutils returns.

If I recall correctly the first try to update nagios failed because I am running Nagios Core as a two node HA-cluster based on a shared storage that is mounted only on the active node. The nagios update succeeds only if the VM I run yum update on is currently the active node.

I only use phpMyAdmin to check and look at the database. The ndo2db service should be the only thing writing to that database.

Please attach your ndo2db.cfg and your ndomod.cfg as well.

Thank you
