Re: Errors adding and removing hosts

Post by lmiltchev »

You have a configuration error. There is something wrong in the contacts config. Go back to the CCM > Tools > Write Config Files, and click on the first 2 "Go" buttons ("Write monitoring data" and "Write additional data"). Don't click on more buttons and don't apply configuration. Open a ssh terminal to your Nagios XI server, run the following command and show the output in code wraps:

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
Note: Instead of "catting" the file, you could use a FTP program, e.g. FileZilla, to transfer the file to your workstation, and then uploade it to the forum. We need to review the contacts config for errors/wrong syntax, etc. If we cannot determine what the issue is, we will need to move this to a support ticket.

We need to review the contacts config for errors/wrong syntax, etc. If we cannot determine what the issue is, we will need to move this to a support ticket.
I am unsure how to do perform this step.

Usually, this contact is defined in the static directory. It's possible that your configuration fails because the contact is defined in two places - in the database, and in the static. Check to see if xi_default_contact is present in the xiobjects.cfg file by running:

Code: Select all

grep 'xi_default_contact' /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/xiobjects.cfg
If you see:

Code: Select all

contact_name                    xi_default_contact
this means it's already defined in the static, and you need to remove the duplicate definition in the CCM.

Go to the CCM > Contacts, and delete the "xi_default_contact". Run the "Write Config Files" again, clicking on all "Go" buttons. The error about the contacts should be gone.
I am unsure how to do perform this step.

Re: Errors adding and removing hosts

It is a similar error - the "xi_timeperiod_24x7" timeperiod is most probably defined in two places - the the database (CCM) and in the static directory. Check to see if you have it in static by running:

Code: Select all

grep 'xi_timeperiod_24x7' /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/xiobjects.cfg
If you have it, you will see:

Code: Select all

timeperiod_name xi_timeperiod_24x7
In order to remove the duplicate, go to the CCM > Alerting > Time Periods, and delete the "xi_timeperiod_24x7" timeperiod. Run the "Write Config Files" tool to check for more config errors. If there are no more errors, apply configuration.
