Apply Configuration recurring

[rkilinski]

Hello,

To start, I am using the 64-bit VMware ova application running Nagios XI 2014R2.6.

We have changed domain names and the proxy server that directs old DNS names to the new AD server is being retired. I am renaming my servers in the CCM web interface. To save myself time and troubleshooting hours, I simply removed the old services and host from the configuration. I opened the services, hosts, and checked the /usr/local/nagios/etc/services and /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts folder to confirm all has been deleted.

I re-create the entry using the Monitoring Wizard --> Windows Server and go through the steps. In the wizard, I add a service to monitor which has a space in it (ArcGIS Manager) along with the CPU/Disk usage/etc... When applying the config, I get all green checks and it seems to have taken (.cfg files have been created and host/services show up in the CCM). However; the status of the new host and all of its services say: Not Applied (in red) and a note stating: Changes detected! Apply Configuration for new changes to take effect. Well, I click apply configuration till the cows come home and nothing changes. I use different browsers, reboot the Nagios VM and still the same.

Please advise or let me know what other helpful information you may need.
Thank you for your time!

Can you run this tail command and then apply the configuration and post the output from the tail command here?

Code: Select all

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

Thank you for the quick reply. Here is the requested information: (Started it, logged into the web interface, navigated to the page and applied configuration)

Is the PHP and system time out of sync? To verify, go to Admin->System Profile and review the "Date/Time" section. If this is the case, fix the time discrepancy by following the steps, outlined in the document below:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... m_Time.pdf

then try applying configuration again. Did this fix your issue?

[rkilinski]

This worked for me. The PHP time and the System time were 4 hours off (NY). After applying the changes & restarting the service as the document suggested, I applied configurations and they all took!

Thank you for your time and efforts!

[hsmith]

Glad to hear it worked, I am going to close this thread.

Thank you!
