Auto Discovery Job Keeps Spinning

[hul1]

I'm running the latest Nagios 5.6.5 and when I try to create an Auto-Discovery job it keeps just spinning under the status. I'm only scanning one target IP so it should be quick but it just never finishes.
I looked into the Nagios logs and couldn't see anything regarding the auto-discovery failing. Does anyone know what's happening? There doesn't seem to be much in the board about this besides reinstalling with an old custom auto-discovery(breaks the current auto-discovery). Is there any way to figure out from the logs what's happening?

I'm about to try and look into the php code to see what it looks to be doing but I tried just using 1 IP address, refreshing the job list, restarting nagios, recreating the auto-discovery job, and even removing the component and reinstalling it.

Hmm it seems I was able to get the jobs working and showing up again after changing the permission to group writable.
Why would it require

Code: Select all

drwxrwxr-x. 2 nagios nagios  4096 Aug  9 14:47 jobs

group writable if it's owned by the nagios user?
I checked on my other test instance(with a new install of nagios) and the permissions were set to

Code: Select all

drwxrwx---. 2 nagios nagios  4096 Aug  9 14:45 jobs

so is that the correct permissions?

Please run this command:

Code: Select all

chmod 0776 /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs

What is the output of these commands?

Code: Select all

chage -l apache
chage -l nagios
grep nag /etc/group
grep "User \|Group " /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ls -ld /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery
ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery
ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs

Other files that follow are the same permissions, maybe just the permissions are off?

That looks to be the case, try doing another and see if it finishes.

That looks to be the issue, auto-discovery is working now thanks!
