Are you running SSL, Proxy, or NAT on your system?

Can you access the Admin page and show us the status of the "XI System Component Status"?

Try running:

Code: Select all

 service nagios restart

From the command-line and send us the output if you get an error.

Run in command line:

Code: Select all

# killall -9 nagios
# service nagios start

Click on "Home", then click on "Process Info" under the "Monitoring Process" from the left panel menu and send us a screenshot.

hendri,

Is there a nagios.lock, ndo2db.lock in your /usr/local/nagios/var directory? Also what are the permissions set in that directory?

ll /usr/local/nagios/var

Also, whats the permissions on the nagios.cmd file?

ll /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

I thing I don't have nagios.cmd file should i create it manually ?

[nscott]

The nagios.cmd file does not exist if nagios isn't running.

What I'm curious about is that you have the nagios.lock file, but not the nagios.cmd file. Both should only exist when nagios is running. Can you do the following:

killall -9 nagios #You already did this, but this is just to make absolutely sure
rm /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock -f
service nagios start

Now can you check and see if you have the nagios.cmd and nagios.lock file?

morning,
nscott , I just did what you suggest..and I got nagios.cmd now.. but in Monitoring Engine Process on Precess State values still Red alert..
I thing I found the problem, I had Nagios Core and Nagvis running in my machine also, after I did those command Nagvis graph showing error said " maybe your nagios didnt running and so on ".. so I reload nagios once again .. then nagios.cmd is gone..

fyi: nagvis is stand alone installation.. not using script from nagiosxi .

Ok, I have a feeling that this is being caused either by DB table corruption or a permissions issue somewhere on the system. Can you run the following procedure:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... p#fixperms

And then also run the DB repair procedure:
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... irdatabase

Also make sure your system time is up to date, having that off can cause unpredictable results.
