Possible Bug: Status Details

[Flava]

Hi All,

Just noticed, when host changes states, i.e. rebooting a host, NagiosXI reports really odd duration time. NagiosXI reports host has been in the current state for hours when I know this is not the case.

Thanks

Can you go to Admin -> System Profile and post back here what is displayed in the "Date/Time" section

This may not be the only thing wrong, but it's probably a part of it. You typically want your php timezone to match the system timezone, or else you'll get some unpredictable results in some places.

Thanks for update, I have fixed this problem, both php timezone and system timezone are in sync now. I have deployed the VM image for NagiosXI, the solution is simple:

check current timezone configuration, if it is incorrect remove it and link to the correct timezone.

Code: Select all

ls -ltr /etc/local*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 362 Nov 12  2010 /etc/locales.conf
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  23 Oct 31  2011 /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC

In my case I have to remove the link and create a new link to the correct timezone.

Code: Select all

rm  /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime

New settings:

Code: Select all

PHP Timezone: Europe/London
PHP Time: Tue, 08 May 2012 09:14:24 +0100
System Time: Tue, 08 May 2012 09:14:24 +0100

Also, all my stats are completely whack...I have to either figure out a way to flush the database and/or reset the nagios status logs because I am still getting weird duration stats in all the views. Can you help with this?

[scottwilkerson]

You can flush it by doing the following

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
service nagios start

This will flush the retention. All services will go to pending state until the next check
