Apply configuration seems to loop

[paul.jobb]

Hi;

Over the past few days my apply configuration appears to be in a loop and never stopping, it will create the files in /usr/local/nagios/etc folder and then start all over again.

What version of XI are you running? Some of the potential causes for this issue were resolved in 2014.

[paul.jobb]

The version on that server is at
Nagios XI 2012R1.4

Do you truly mean 2012 or was that a typo for 2014? If you really are on 2012 I would strongly recommend upgrading to the latest 2014R1.5 as there have been numerous improvements in the apply config process since v2012.

Start a running tail on the httpd error log and then try to apply configuration. Wait a moment and then post the file with the redirected tail output (/tmp/errors.txt):

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log > /tmp/errors.txt

Did you have an answer for this?

Do you truly mean 2012 or was that a typo for 2014? If you really are on 2012 I would strongly recommend upgrading to the latest 2014R1.5 as there have been numerous improvements in the apply config process since v2012.

[paul.jobb]

still 2012, it has been running along pretty good so haven't really seen the need to upgrade to this point.

[abrist]

Ah 2012. What you are seeing is an artifact of large configs in 2012. Clone/snapshot the current server, and test the upgrade in a lab/etc before doing it on prod. You will most definitely want to upgrade though - apply config times were reduced to 10-15 seconds AT MOST in 2014.

Hi;

I was instructed at the conference to ask for the updated code for mod-gearman that supports the latest nagios xi version.

Thanks,
Paul
