Nagios BPI component repair

[nicladas]

I just learned about the Nagios BPI component and followed the instructions on the Exchange download page. When I went to use it, none of the dropdowns were working, so I checked into the documentation, which states in there that Nagios now ships with BPI pre-installed and that installing it from the exchange download will break the existing component. I was not aware of this as it was not a warning on the main page... can you let me know how I can repair it now please?

Thank you,
Nic

Try this:

Download your version of XI from here:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... rsions.php
Extract it
Copy the files in nagiosxi/nagiosxi/basedir/html/includes/components/nagiosbpi/ including all subdirectories into /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosbpi/

Does this fix your problem?

[nicladas]

Worked like a charm, thank you!!!

Perhaps I spoke too soon... The majority of things are working fine now, but when I got to save a config I get Error: Unable to match string in config file..

Also, the UI still looks a little off:

Command history:

Code: Select all

tar -xvf /tmp/xi-5.2.7.tar.gz nagiosxi/nagiosxi/basedir/html/includes/components/nagiosbpi/ --strip-components=6
chown -R nagios:nagios nagiosbpi/
chmod -R 750 nagiosbpi/

Thoughts?

Can you run the following commands, and show the output?

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components
ls -lad /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosbpi
ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosbpi

H-m-m, the permissions look fine. The function that is failing is "get_config_string". I wonder if you are missing "{" or "}" in the config file...

Can you check if the number of "{}" is even?

Code: Select all

grep '{\|}' /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/bpi.conf | wc -l

[nicladas]

Yep...

Code: Select all

grep '{\|}' /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/components/bpi.conf | wc -l
156

Would we get an error like this if we're still in a trial license? I only get the error when I try and write a config on a new BPI group, manually touching the config file and hitting save returns fine.

This feature is part of the Enterprise Edition of Nagios XI. You have 0 days left to test this feature. Learn more about Enterprise Edition features.

UPDATE:

I just tried to run a "Sync Hostgroups" and got a similar error. I removed the last created BPI group manually from the config and it worked:

Code: Select all

           
define outsystems {
        title=OutSystems
        desc=
        primary=1
        info=
        members=$outsystems-primary-prod;&, 
        warning_threshold=90
        critical_threshold=80 
        priority=2
        type=default
        auth_users=      
}

I don't believe this is the case. Nagios XI trial is a fully functional software. One thing you could try is running the upgrade script from the install directory with "-f" flag (forcing reinstalling all plugins/addons, etc.).

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi
./upgrade -f

This feature is part of the Enterprise Edition of Nagios XI. You have 0 days left to test this feature. Learn more about Enterprise Edition features.

Syncing is an Enterprise feature, so if your Enterprise trial expired, you will have to purchase Enterprise (if you want to sync hostgroups/servicegroups).
