cannot change parent once it is configured

[rba]

Hello,

This is was a manual install of CentOS 7.3 64 bit on a fresh vm. Attached is the profile.

I can configure a parent but once it has been configured I cannot change it.
Applying changes from CCM reports success and shows the new parent but the parents are not actually updated in the config file.
Trying to change the parent through configure host- also reports success but after it's completed it show's the original parent not the new one, which is true.

Looking at the config in /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/host.cfg the original parent is still there

Changing parents manually in host.cfg does work... and is reflected in the maps

Any suggestions, or should i move the config files to static directory?

Thanks

What is the output from the following?

Code: Select all

grep "date.timezone" /etc/php.ini
ls -l /etc/localtime
php -r 'echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y")."\n";'
date
mysql -unagiosxi -pn@gweb -e "SELECT NOW();"

hmm- maybe the timezone needs to be PST everywhere?


[root@nms231s15 etc]# grep "date.timezone" /etc/php.ini
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = UTC
[root@nms231s15 etc]# ls -l /etc/localtime
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 Feb 1 13:43 /etc/localtime -> ../usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
[root@nms231s15 etc]# php -r 'echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y")."\n";'

Where would i change that?
Thanks

Yes, that is a problem. To reset all the timezones to a consistent state, the easiest way is:

XI > Admin > System Settings > Timezone Settings > Toggle to random TZ > Update Settings
XI > Admin > System Settings > Timezone Settings > Toggle to correct TZ > Update Settings

Then if you rerun the previous command, it should look better.

That did it, Thanks for your help!
