New NagiosXi deployment - NagiosXi services not set up

[Juddnick]

Hi - I have just performed a fresh install of NagiosXi and it appears the nagiosxi service and sub-services have not been setup / installed.

The nagiosxi script in /etc/init.d looks completely commented out.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# chkconfig: 345 99 01

case "$1" in
        start)
                # Most scripts run frequently
                RETVAL=0
                #for ech in $stdserv; do true
                #       daemon -n $ech -r -u nagios.nagios -a 45 -o /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/${ech}.log -- /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/${ech}.php
                #       RETVAL=$(( RETVAL || $? ))
                #done

                # DB maint runs a bit differently
                #daemon -n dbmaint -r -u nagios.nagios -A 1 -L $(( 60 * 5 )) -o /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/dbmaint.log --                  /usr/bin/php -q /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/dbmaint.php
                #RETVAL=$(( RETVAL || $? ))

                # Recurring downtime script

                ;;
        stop)
                RETVAL=0
                #for ech in $stdserv dbmaint; do true
                #       daemon -n $ech -r --stop -u nagios.nagios
                #       RETVAL=$(( RETVAL || $? ))
                #done
                ;;
        restart)
                RETVAL=0
                ;;
        status)
                RETVAL=0
                #for ech in $stdserv dbmaint; do true
                #       daemon -n $ech -r --running -u nagios.nagios
                #       RETVAL=$(( RETVAL || $? ))
                #done
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|status}"
                RETVAL=1
                ;;
esac
exit $RETVAL

As a result all components in the "System Status" widget in the GUI underneath "Database Backend" are showing as red (Database Maintenance, Command Subsystem etc)

I performed an offline install on RHEL 6.4 (64bit). Access to the GUI seems fine however cannot add any hosts (config push simply perpetually attempts to deploy config without actually doing anything)

Where did I go wrong and how can I correct please?

That script should be commented out. The red checks you mentioned are usually due to backend connection problems or issues with cron. Lets check cron:

Code: Select all

ps -aef | grep cron

It should resemble:

Thanks for responding abrist.

There are none set up by the looks:

# ps -aef | grep cron
root 2197 1 0 Nov14 ? 00:00:12 crond
root 52280 3376 0 13:20 pts/0 00:00:00 grep cron

Were the jobs meant to be set up as part of the install?

[abrist]

Yes, they were. What is the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi
service crond restart
ps -aef | grep cron

[Juddnick]

Thanks abrist - looks like cron was not working due to the nagios account not getting set up properly - there was no /var/spool/nagios directory for some reason

I created this, restarted cron and all looks ok so far!

Thank you for your help!
