Local Backups Not Replacing Oldest

[matt.lilek]

Hey, Ya I can see it again now but i made no changes to permissions just to be clear. So would that have also kept the backup from running on all three instances as well? The GUI said the directory was there and writable. Please advise. Thank you!

Yes it would.

If you moved/renamed the old one and then coped the new one it would use the default umask and set the owner to your logged in user.

Hello Scott, The instance ATT5-NAG1 is still not backing up (dont think there has been a backup in over 4 months) Ideas? Let me know. Thanks!

Lets do the following so we can see some logging on that machine

Hey Scott, this is already set to 3, is that what i want? Where do we go from here?

Can you send
/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log

If it doesn't exist, can you run

Code: Select all

touch /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log
chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log

Looks like a password issue

Can you look in your

and see if a host is specified for the dbserver in this section

Code: Select all

"ndoutils" => array(
        "dbtype" => 'mysql',
        "dbserver" => 'localhost',
        "user" => 'ndoutils',
        "pwd" => 'n@gweb',
        "db" => 'nagios',
        "dbmaint"

If it is blank, change to localhost

same thing in the nagiosql section below that

[matt.lilek]

Think you forgot to paste when you said look in your....... and then followed by nothing. Please let me know where. Thanks

Hey Matt!

Should be in the /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php file.

Thanks!
