NagiosXI service-hosts setting left empty in file

[avandemore]

Yes but you may wish to review this doc and make sure your sudoers is correct.

You may also want to toggle your TZ:
XI > Admin > System Settings > Timezone > random
XI > Admin > System Settings > Timezone > correct

Also XI > Admin > Check File Permissions

What doc?

I reset- the time zone but I don't think that will change anything.

File permissions reported ok by the 'check file permissions' page.

[avandemore]

Yeah including that would be helpful. Here you go:

I gave that a try despite this not fitting my symptoms well except both symptom descriptions could include 'applying configuration'. This did not resolve the issue. Do you guys do more in depth trouble shooting through webex or anything? Can I get you more logs?


This is stopping us from updating our nagios configuration at all and this is becoming critical for our IT staff.

[ssax]

Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Config File Management / Write Config Files:
- Click Delete (don't worry, it's safe, they get re-written)
- Click Write

Now run this command and let it run:

Code: Select all

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

Then try to apply configuration through the web interface and send me the full output of the tail command.

Also, please PM these files as well:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/ccm/config.inc.php

And send the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

echo "STATUS;" | mysql -undoutils -pn@gweb nagios
echo "STATUS;" | mysql -unagiosxi -pn@gweb nagiosxi
echo "STATUS;" | mysql -unagiosql -pn@gweb nagiosql

Thank you

I attached a pic from the gui where it shows the host is assigned to the service.
