Host not showing up in dashboard after commit

[hockad]

I attempted a fix related to a service not being deleted in the post here https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... rd#p226782

That didn't work.

The problem we are having is adding a new host to CCM then committing. It doesn't show up in the dashboard. If we use the Config File Management I can find the file that was written when the commit happened. I can then import the file and commit again and then the host shows up in the dashboard.

Any idea's assistance would be appreciated.

Nagios version 5.4.8

Are you successfully Apply Configuration after adding the new host?

[hockad]

Yes, and a file is written into the configuration directory. The host doesn't show up on the dashboard.

[scottwilkerson]

This leads me to believe either ndo2db isn't running or you have db corruption.

Lets start with a basic DB repair script we have

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_databases.sh

After this, if the host still doesn't show up in the system, can you verify that the checkbox in the upper right of the screen is green?

Finally if that is the case, provide the output of this command as we may have multiple parent instances of nagios running

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep bin/nagios

[hockad]

Ran the script it came back with no errors, i have attached the output as a file.

Yes i have the green check mark in the upper right hand corner, see attachment for image capture.

I was right, there are multiple nagios processes, it looks like from 2 separate locations, which is odd, not sure why you have a/usr/sbin/nagios loacation

Run the following:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

Then you may want to run the the previous command I gave you and make sure you only have lines with

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

[hockad]

Same issue: however started digging. I thought the install was a build. Have you switched to RPM's?

[root@lxjh159 init.d]# rpm -qa | grep nagios
nagios-common-4.3.2-5.el6.x86_64
nagios-repo-6-2.el6.noarch
nagios-4.3.2-5.el6.x86_64

Issue can be marked resolved. OS was updated and nagios got installed from EPEL. I removed those RPM's, re-ran the upgrade script for NagiosXI and then copied an init script from another XI box. System seems to operating normally.

Follow up question. Do you use/need the epel repo enabled for NagiosXI installation or upgrade?

Thanks.
