New service check config is not picking up host IP

[awilson]

Hi. I have a host that is configured with its IP address but when it is added as the host for a service check the IP does not appear to register. If I try the run check command option, the localhost address is in the host address window.

Is the answer "delete and recreate the host?" Any ideas on how this happens?

Thanks!

Hello, @awilson. Have you tried saving the service check, applying the config and seeing if the service works properly on the home page?

[awilson]

It still lists 127.0.0.1 in the host address window.

[lmiltchev]

Can you show us the host and the service configs?

Go to the CCM > Hosts > <your host>, and click on the View Config actions button
Go to the CCM > Services > <your service>, and click on the View Config actions button

Are you having an issue with the "/ Disk Usage" service? According to your host config, the hostname is "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx_Silver_Virtual_NA", however the "/ Disk Usage" service is added to "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx_Silver_Virtual_NA_Silver_Virtual_NA". Is this a typo?

[awilson]

That was a typo from my attempt to obscure the server name and IP. //

[lmiltchev]

Can you PM me your profile, along with the name of the host & service in question?

Admin > System Config > System Profile > Download Profile

[lmiltchev]

I sent you a PM.

[tgriep]

In the original profile you PM'ed to lmiltchev even though it is not the profile from the server in question, I found that there are duplicate Nagios processes running on the server and that needs to be fixed.
Run the following as root to stop the duplicates and restart Nagios.

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

With as many Hosts and Services on that server, you need to increase the wait timer for when Nagios restarts.
The following link has instructions for doing that.
