XI not performing host checks for hosts imported from Core

[Johan159]

Hello,

I imported my Core configuration in a new XI system.

Service checks are running properly, but no host check is done for the 500 hosts imported from Core...

I had a similar issue for a couple hosts on Core ( https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =7&t=35926 ) but it had been fixed by setting the enable_environment_macros parameter to 0.

But it didn't help on the XI server.

All the host checks are scheduled to be executed within a few minutes : the Next Check time is correct. But instead of performing the check, it gets postponed...

For reference, can you also post one of your host definitions as well for us to take a look at?

[Johan159]

Here is the definition of an imported host (thus that has never been checked up to now) :

Code: Select all

define host {
        host_name                       SOFTMOVE
        use                             linux-template
        alias                           Brancardage - Softmove
        address                         192.168.160.37
        contact_groups                  admins,softmove
        register                        1
        }

linux-template is :

Code: Select all

define host {
       name                                     linux-template
       use                                      generic-host
       max_check_attempts                       4
       check_interval                           3
       retry_interval                           1
       contact_groups                           admins
       register                                 0

}

generic-host is :

Code: Select all

define host {
       name                                     generic-host
       check_period                             24x7
       event_handler_enabled                    1
       flap_detection_enabled                   1
       process_perf_data                        1
       retain_status_information                1
       retain_nonstatus_information             1
       notification_interval                    240
       notification_period                      24x7
       notification_options                     d,u,r
       notifications_enabled                    1
       register                                 0

}

[Johan159]

I got it!

For a strange reason the "check_command" was not in the imported templates. I added a check_command in generic-host and it now works properly!

[tmcdonald]

If the check_command directive was not imported as well with the templates that could certainly cause it, but it's hard to say what happened for sure without digging in.

At any rate, glad it's working! Are we all set to close this?

[Johan159]

Yes you can close this thread!
