change are not picked up after apply changes

[oxyma]

Since recently we experience an issue with the apply changes... it says it has been successfully completed however no changes are seen..
Case where i simply as an alias to a host then apply changes it will not show the alias in host detail.
However when i restart the nagios service on the server it will pickup the changes.
We use: Amazon Linux 64bit manual install by downloading latest xi tgz

Nothing else out of the ordinary.. it is a recent clean install

I have had some issues with the database which the repair fixed...
I have run fix permissions and checked the sudoers file

Can we verify there is only 1 nagios parent process

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep nagios.cfg|grep -v grep

Actually that is just 1 parent process, that looks normal.

So are you adding a host/service through the CCM, or a Wizard and then applying configuration and then not seeing it when searching?

At the moment i am changing some Aliases of hosts using the CCM

And then when you go to Host Status Detail page for the host it doesn't display?

[oxyma]

after apply configuration it won't show up in the host status detail page but in the CCM Host config it does show the correct new info. It is jsut as if the info is correctly written to the database and config files but the config files are not parsed...

[scottwilkerson]

Lets go to
CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Click Delete Files
Click Write Configs
Click Verify Files

If all looks Good
Apply Configuration

just tried unfortunately the changes are not picked up...
