Hello,
The following problem appeared after upgrading to Nagios 5.7.1. After entering Nagvis, on some maps I get the following error message:

Error: (0) json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument

Hi Katronic,

After researching the error, I found a similar support case that was resolved by the following change. Edit your /etc/my.cnf and under the [mysqld] section add this line:

Code: Select all

init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'

Then restart the services:

Code: Select all

systemctl stop nagios
systemctl restart mariadb
systemctl start nagios

And let me know if the problem is resolved. If not, revert the changes and send use your system profile. Thanks, Benjamin
