Error reloading configuration

cyient · Post by **cyient** » Thu Aug 18, 2016 8:40 am

Hi,

I have issue while applying configuration after deactivating a service and error is as below

Warning: Duplicate definition found for contact 'xi_default_contact' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg', starting on line 40)
Error: Could not add object property in file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg' on line 41.
Error processing object config files!

Please help me out on this issue, we are using Nagios XI 2011R3.2 version.

That version of XI is incredibly old. You are probably also running a very old version of Core as well, and it might not be properly validating configs. My primary suggestion is to update to the latest version of XI.

For the time-being though we can take a look at your /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg file, just make sure to sanitize any emails or other sensitive information.

Code: Select all

define contact {
        contact_name                            xi_default_contact
        alias                                   Default Contact
        host_notification_period                xi_timeperiod_none
        service_notification_period             xi_timeperiod_none
        host_notification_options               n
        service_notification_options            n
        host_notification_commands              xi_host_notification_handler
        service_notification_commands           xi_service_notification_handler
        email                                   root@localhost
        }

Are you using this for anything? It doesn't look like it would really be doing much. You can more than likely just delete it, and then try applying configuration once again. Does it work at that time?

EDIT: Files received.

I have tried applying the post but did not work.

Pmed monitoring configuration Snapshots file to you.

ssax · Post by **ssax** » Mon Aug 22, 2016 11:56 am

So you went to Configure > Core Config Manger > Contacts and deleted the xi_default_contact contact?

Do it again and/or make sure that it doesn't exist, then run this command:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log

Then let the tail command run and try to apply configuration again and send us the entire output from the tail command.

Thank you

Go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Time Periods
- Do you have two xi_timeperiod_24x7 entries? If so, delete one of them and try to apply configuration again.

If it still doesn't work, go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Write Config Files
- Click Delete (don't worry, it's safe, they get re-written)
- Click Write
- Without doing any steps in between-please send this file:

Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Write Config Files
- Click Write
- Then without doing anything in between, post the contents of your /usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg so that we can review it.

Thank you
