Performance data missing after changing nagios MySQL pasword

[tgriep]

The following 2 lines are commented out in the nagios.cfg file.

Code: Select all

#service_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::SERVICEPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tSERVICEDESC::$SERVICEDESC$\tSERVICEPERFDATA::$SERVICEPERFDATA$\tSERVICECHECKCOMMAND::$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTATE::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$\tSERVICESTATE::$SERVICESTATE$\tSERVICESTATETYPE::$SERVICESTATETYPE$\tSERVICEOUTPUT::$SERVICEOUTPUT$
#host_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::HOSTPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tHOSTPERFDATA::$HOSTPERFDATA$\tHOSTCHECKCOMMAND::$HOSTCHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTATE::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$\tHOSTOUTPUT::$HOSTOUTPUT$

Edit the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file and un-comment those 2 lines.
Then restart nagios and npcd by running the following.

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
service npcd restart

That should fix the issue for you.

I will have to try that later, but no config file changes were made to change these values. Any reason why they would have suddenly changed coincidentally with the changing of the nagiosxi SQL password?

[tgriep]

Nope, changing the password has nothing to do with those settings.

Wow. Such simple fix. Turns out SOMEONE did modify nagios.cfg in an effort to...I don't know, they won't confess to having made any changes, but I have two copies in my revision control system that clearly show those comments being added.

Thanks for all your effort in this. Close.
