Error in commands.cfg

[brobeck]

Hi, I am new to Nagios and just installed on my RHEL6 server. I am running into this error below. I can see in this file that the command line is NULL, but I don't know where to find the service to make it inactive. I have looked through the service templates and disabled all that have "ping" in the name. Here is the snippet of line 161

-Is there anyway to restore defaults? Any help would be appreciated.

Code: Select all

---commands.cfg:
define command {
       command_name                             check_xi_host_ping
}

-here are a couple of more in the commands.cfg file as well
define command {
       command_name                             check_xi_service_ftp
}

define command {
       command_name                             check_xi_service_http
}

---------


I have been through the services templates trying to find the service that controls this command -with no luck.
Can anyone point me to the service?

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files... 

 Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid 
 directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous 
 version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions 
 may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read 
 the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the 
 'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Could your post your whole commands.cfg file?

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg

We can go from there.

You can revert to a previous (good) snapshot, created prior to making these changes by going to CCM > Configuration Snapshots, and clicking on the "Restore" button next to the snapshot.

You can also fix the "broken" commands manually, provided you don't have any other config errors. Go to the CCM > Commands > Commands, find the commands in question one-by-one, click on the "Edit" button, and set the command name & command line to look like this:

Code: Select all

check_xi_host_ping 	$USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$,$ARG2$ -c $ARG3$,$ARG4$ -p 5
check_xi_service_ftp 	$USER1$/check_ftp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
check_xi_service_http 	$USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$

Click on Apply Configuration.

That cleaned up that mess. Now I get:

Error: There are no services defined!
Error: Contact 'controls' has no service notification commands defined!
Error: Contact 'controls' has no host notification commands defined!
Error: Global host event handler command 'xi_host_event_handler' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Global service event handler command 'xi_service_event_handler' is not defined anywhere!

Is there a way to set all back to default?

[brobeck]

I did get rid of the first 2 issues, now I am working on:

Error: There are no services defined!
Error: Global host event handler command 'xi_host_event_handler' is not defined anywhere!
Error: Global service event handler command 'xi_service_event_handler' is not defined anywhere

[lmiltchev]

I was hoping that you had only 3 "broken" commands, but as new errors started to show up, I believe your best bet would be to revert to the last good known snapshot.

Go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Quick Tools > Configuration Snapshots, find the newest "good" snapshot, and click on the "Restore" button next to it.

Example:

Let us know if this helped.

[brobeck]

I can't do that. Because I was doing so many things to try and fix I deleted my snapshots. Will something like this work:
********************************************
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/*.*
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/*.*
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
********************************************

My Global Event handlers are disabled. Did I check a box or something to try and use the event handlers? Where can I deassign the global event handlers and global service event handlers in my config?

[lmiltchev]

Try the following:

1. Open a ssh(putty) session to your Nagios XI server, and create a new directory, called cfgprep:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/
mkdir cfgprep

2. Download the file below, unzip it, and place it in the newly created directory via FileZilla or similar program.

commands.zip

Note: This is a commands.cfg file from a "clean" system.

3. Go to the CCM > Tools > Import Config Files, select the newly copied file (/usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/commands.cfg), and click on "Import". Leave the "Overwrite Database" check-box selected!

4. Go to CCM > Tools > Config File Management, and click on "Write Configs" then "Verify Files".

If you get any config errors, post them on the forum. If there are no errors, apply configuration.
