removed hosts are still displayed on home !!

[mmhamdan]

Dears ,

Please I need your gaudiness in solving this matter. we have tried many solution but with no luck.
Recently we have decided to remove all hosts on our Nagios Xi so we run restore_defaults.sh script and it worked.

Now from Core Config Manger there is no hosts But in Home page we are still seeing removed hosts

the following solution didn't work!!

* Configure -> Core Config Manager, then on the left under Tools click Write Config Files. Then click Delete, then Write, then Verify and Restart

*Checked /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts and host is not there

*/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh | tail -20

output for Verifying config file:

Hello everyone hope you are doing fine . i have inquire about storage space, we were having around 8000 hosts on our Nagios we decide to remove all hosts and clear all the exists data so we used default restore script and found that hosts are gone but our storage didn't increase.

My question is there another action i should do since i don't need any of my old files, all i want is to be looked like new one.

Hello, @mmhamdan. I'll answer your first question. I think your ndo2db deamon might be down. Click on the Admin menu, and you'll see the system dashboard with green status check marks. I suspect you may have a red check mark next to the Database Backend. Can you confirm that?
If that is the case, here are the steps you should take:
1. Stop Nagios with service nagios stop
2. Run this command:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.lock /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.lock.bak

And this command:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock.bak

3. Start Nagios:

Code: Select all

service nagios start

4. Start ndo2db:

Code: Select all

service ndo2db start

Although this question may be related to the original one, I'd ask you to open a new thread for it. That will make threads more structured and it will be easier for other users to navigate around our forum.
Thank you.

Thank you very much for your instructions it worked for me . now we don't see any host nether in home nor in report page at hosts drop list.

But i wonder why Database Backend still checked with red color

@mmhamdan, Great! It may take a few minutes for the red checkmark to disappear. You could double check whether the ndo2db is working with the following command:

Code: Select all

service ndo2db status

And you should see an output similar to this:

Code: Select all

ndo2db (pid 4169) is running...
