The "System OK" at the top right hand corner of the server web page has 3 green checks and 3 blue i's. When I click on the blue information buttons, I get the "monitoring Engine Status" screen. It shows the process state as 'Not Running'. I click the "Start" Action button and it says "Your request was not processed in a timely manner. It may still execute, as the server may be temporarily busy." The nagios.log has the following:

[1403558167] Lockfile '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock' looks like its already held by another instance of Nagios (PID 1584).  Bailing out...

I have tried stopping nagios, mysqld, npcd, postgresql, crond, ndo2db and then starting them all one at a time to no avail. Then I restarted the entire server and it still didn't help.
Here is the var directory:

And here is a grep for lock_file in nagios.cfg:

Code: Select all

root@nagiosxi akepley# grep lock_file /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
lock_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock

Have you tried deleting the lock file?

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock

Does that let Nagios start?

[akepley]

Nagios doesn't have a problem stopping or starting. That happens just fine. Regardless, I removed the nagios.lock file and restarted. It recreated and nothing has changed. The System Ok across the top is still green, green, green, blue, blue, blue with the readouts: Monitoring Engine is running (Green), Performance Grapher is Running (Green), Database Backend is Running (Green), Active Host Checks Are Disabled (Blue), Active Service Checks are Disabled (Blue), Notifications are Disabled (Blue). Log file still shows "nagios.lock held by another instance of Nagios"

Also, Apply Configuration seems to just stick now forever "waiting for configuration verification". The only option I have left is to revert back to a prior good snapshot. Is there anything you can recommend?

[Box293]

Try running this script which will reset the permissions:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms.sh

Does this help?

Code: Select all

RESETTING PERMS

Still having the same issues.

What version of XI is this on? And what OS and version?

[akepley]

For security reasons, I was asked to setup Nagios to use SSL for HTTPS traffic yesterday. This appears to have caused the issue, although I need to know why and how to setup SSL without running into this issue.

I used this document to set it up:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

[akepley]

The version is 2014R1.0. OS is CentOS 6.5

[sreinhardt]

There was a bug with 2014r1.0 with forced ssl. You should update to 2014r1.1 or newer, r1.2 was released today. This should resolve your issues with ssl, please let us know if they persist.

Thanks as always! You guys are great!
