My guess would be that there is a link somewhere that is loading the whole from insude the main frame target.

I tried to replicate this on current versions but could not find any links that caused this. Being this specific version is over 5 years old you may want to consider working toward an upgrade.

Hello,

thank you for investigating this.The first problem that i noticed came from index.py script which was trowing an internal server error on the webpage for every logged error ( for example when a user failed to authenticate), which honestly we dont need to be shown as internal server error on the webpage .I tried to make an exception , so i changed as a test the value from error to crit . The internal server error does not appear anymore, but instead the sidebar is beeing duplicated .

if req.myfile == "crit":
try:
show_apache_log(req)
return apache.OK
except Exception, e:
req.write("<html><body><h1>Internal Error</h1>Cannot output error log: %s</body></html>" % e)
return apache.OK
That was my taught as well , that something is calling that link twice , but cant figure out what...

Ok, this makes sense.. index.py is not part of nagios, this file was created by OMD, not Nagios.

Unfortunately I cannot help with non-nagios items.
