Recurring Downtime schedule issue

[akumarhe1868]

Hi,

I have scheduled recurring downtime for a host and its services on every week starts Friday 8pm to Sunday 8pm.

Issue is: Once downtime ends it automatically schedule downtime for very next day for another 3 days which is not expected.

could anyone please advise to overcome the issue...

Thanks,
Anand

Hi @akumarhe1868,

You had another post regarding notifications during scheduled downtime, was that resolved or are you still having the same issue?

Can you PM your system profile for us to review the log files?

To send us your system profile. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and upload it to a cloud storage of your choice. You can share a link with me in a personal message.
After you upload the profile please post something in this thread to bring it up in the support queue

Kindly check.

Thanks.

Hi @akumarhe1868,

Thanks for the profile. I noticed in your logs that you have crashed database tables. Log in as root and run the database repair script:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_databases.sh

Repairing The Nagios XI Databases

Next, looking in you configuration files, I don't see the recurring downtime that you have described (see below). Which host have you scheduled for?

Code: Select all

define schedule {
	sid			970b4d53815e73d8f3c0563df4e12cf3
	user			bslater
	comment			
	time			23:29
	duration		10
	days_of_week		
	days_of_month		
	months_of_year		
	schedule_type		host
	host_name		jira.leggmason.com
}

define schedule {

}

}

Can you log into Nagios XI, go to Home >Incident Management > Recurring Downtime and verify your settings?

Hi,

As suggested, I ran the database repair script and completed successfully without any error.

Below are the hostname scheduled recurring downtime to run every Sunday.
Also I have scenario to schedule host recurring downtime for Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday

LMAWSBOEAPP01.globallmam.com & LMAWSBOEAPP02.globallmam.com

Attached schedule settings for one of the host separately in PM.

Please review and advise the changes undergo in settings to overcomes the issue.

Thanks.

Hi @akumarhe1868,

Thanks for sending over the image for recurring downtime. Looks like you have LMAWSBOEAPP01.globallmam.com scheduled for downtime every Sunday at 21:45 for 75 minutes, and that is what is in the configuration definitions. I do not see downtime scheduled for another host Friday - Sunday. Is this intended?

As far as the unexpected downtime occurring, you may have multiple processes running, log in as root and run the following commands:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
pkill -9 nagios
killall -9 nagios
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
service ndo2db start
service nagios start

Next go to Configure > Tools > Configure File Management, Delete Files and then run Write Configs followed by a verification. Are you getting any errors? If no, then restart to fully apply the configuration.

[akumarhe1868]

Hi,

I have executed the command in root. Below is the output:

I do see no process killed on executing kill command.

Also no output on executing command: for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done

Is the "done" will come at the end of the "for" command?

After executing all the command with above said, I went to Configure > Tools > Configure File Management, Delete Files and then run Write Configs

Do I need to select "Verify Files" before Nagios core restart?

[root@henagiosxi ]# service nagios stop
Stopping nagios: .done.
[root@henagiosxi ]# service ndo2db stop
Stopping ndo2db: done.
[root@henagiosxi ]# pkill -9 nagios
[root@henagiosxi ]# killall -9 nagios
nagios: no process killed
[root@henagiosxi ]# for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
[root@henagiosxi ]# service ndo2db start
Starting ndo2db: done.
[root@henagiosxi ]# service nagios start
Starting nagios: done.

Hi @akumarhe1868

That looks good. Yes, select Verify to check your configuration and then restart to apply the configuration.

After that is complete, did you verify if the other recurring downtime from, Friday - Sunday, exists as I'm not seeing it in the profile that was sent.

[akumarhe1868]

Hi,

I have not scheduled recurring downtime earlier for Friday to Sunday but now I have scheduled and can be displayed in Nagios.

Hope I will not get notification during this downtime.

I will monitor this week schedule and will let you know.

Meanwhile, how can I export all the host configured in Nagios?

Also, how can I schedule downtime for all the host belongs to particular location(Eg:Tokyo)?

I need all the host/IP address belongs to Tokyo have to schedule downtime configured in NAGIOS.

Is there any easy way to do this task?

Hello @akumarhe1868,

I will monitor this week schedule and will let you know.

OK. Sounds good.

The configuration files are located in /usr/local/nagios/etc. You can either download your local backup archive ( Admin > System Backups) or download a system profile that contains the configuration files for hosts and services ( Admin >System Profile).

I would recommend creating a host group for all the Tokyo based servers/devices and the schedule recurring downtime for that host group. If you have the enterprise edition you can use the bulk modifications tool to quickly select hosts and create a host group.
