OK, try running:

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock
/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg

[1404421290] ndomod: Successfully connected to data sink.  4589 queued items to flush.

i guess it worked. i will see for how long

Still holding up?

[majed]

today i checked, i isn't working since july 6
still unable to connect to data sink. must be because the system restarted. so must i remove the socket every time i restart the system?

[sreinhardt]

You should only have to remove a socket file if the application using it was not stopped properly. A proper reboot should stop all services gracefully, it sounds like you are having issues with hard reboots that are not doing this, which will absolutely cause issues such as this.

[majed]

well you are right, it is not a normal shutdown, the virtual machine is being closed/ beyond my knowledge by whom. buy nothing is affected except mrtg and ndo2db. i presume enhancements need to be made to this software. So much time has passed since i installed ndo2db, what is it supposed to do again?

[slansing]

Yeah, NDO will not be happy when the power is pulled, I suggest you research NDO2DB before continuing to set it up as there will be pointers in there as well.

Well... that is what you asked for.

I'm going to split your question off to a new thread as it sounds like NDO itself has been installed properly now. In your new thread, let us know if this is not the case.
