Where unkown NRDP checks show up?

[lmiltchev]

Can you check Unconfigured Object again to see if the "testhost/testservice" showed up? What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

grep test* /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

Is opening a new ticket in our email ticketing system an option for you? We may need to schedule a remote session to further troubleshoot this issue.

Yes:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios snmptt]# cat /etc/group|grep nag
nagios:x:500:snmptt,nagios,apache,sucon
nagcmd:x:501:snmptt,apache,nagios

The grep command suggested gives no output:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios snmptt]# grep test* /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@nagios snmptt]#

- Hello world!

So we decide to extract the folder /usr/local/nrdp that comes with the image and replace the contents on our install. And then it started working finally.

But still, we don't understand how the two versions can have completelly different changelogs. Maybe someone could shed some light on this topic?

I asked our developers about the differences in the changelog, and here's what they said:

The version shipped with XI is an edited version...some of the fixes in the XI version changelog only apply to systems with XI installed.

They also said that they were planning on merging various entries in the changelogs back together so that the changes made more sense.

I am glad your issue has been resolved! Is it all right if we lock this thread?
