Issues with Applying Configuration after import

[karunaka]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate our Nagios Core installation to Nagios XI, which has a total 744 hosts and 2585 services. I followed the documentation and imported all my existing config files and verified them. When I was done with that, I tried "Apply Configuration" which is taking lot of time and it's still running now (It's been running for more than 2 days). Now I started to believe that, there is something wrong with that.

Can someone please help me to find out what's going on there?
Here are some basic details about my installation:
Current Nagios Core version: 3.2.3
Nagios XI version: Nagios XI 2014R2.0
Number of hosts: 744
Number of services: 2585

Please let me know if you need any other details.

Thanks,
Rinosh

Please run the following as root:

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

Then do an Apply Config and run the following:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log

and post the results.

Thanks Tmcdonald for your reply.

I have restarted apache and tailing the log you mentioned. I will wait for some time for that to log something in the cmdsubsys.log.

Meantime I checked on the old cmdsubsys.log and following is the output I can see there.

Code: Select all

Did the apply complete successfully this time?

If not, please run the following and post the output:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reconfigure_nagios.sh | tail -20

I am seeing the following when I ran that command.

Code: Select all

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Can you run the following command in a shell on your Nagios XI system and post the results back?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Go to Core Config Manager->Tools->Write Config Files->click on "Write", then click on "Verify" and show us the output. Do you see any config errors?

[karunaka]

I am getting the same output which I have pasted in my previous reply. Is there some way I can run 'Apply Configuration' through backend (using some script)?

Run:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reconfigure_nagios.sh > /tmp/debug.txt 2>&1

and post the "debug.txt" file that was generated in the "/tmp/" directory.
