Removing bad configs

[bobb_wu]

Hey there,

I finally just got my Nagios XI deployment running and have added some hosts. I am using NRPE on our servers and walked through a few of the config wizards. I did not disable the SSL field on some of them, and my first one I set up as a 'Linux Server.' Now I have a bunch of Error emails flowing my way, no ability to change the SSL encryption field, and none of these hosts will delete out of the Core Config Manager so I may re-add them.

What's my next step?

The easiest thing to do would be to run the wizards again with the same names, and just correct the SSL info.

This should overwrite the previous one.

If you want to delete them from the CCM, you need to delete the services first for all of them, and then the hosts

I would also suggest disabling notifications system-wide if you're still in the setup phase

Ok, re-doing the wizard worked for me. I have another quick question-

The top right has a System Problem with 3 checks and one exclamation point. It takes me to an admin page with XI System Component Status, with Event Data as the error. Where would I look to figure out how to fix this?

BTW- this is a CentOS image running 2009R1.4B on vSphere.

Check your Admin page for the subsystem components dashlet, see if there are any red marks showing up. It's possible you could have some corrupted data in one of your mysql tables. If you're on R2009 you'll probably want to run the DB repair manually.

Code: Select all

service mysqld stop
myisamchk -r -f /var/lib/mysql/nagios/nagios_*.MYI
service mysqld start
