false Flapping and outage errors

Post by angus »

Hello,

I have been getting many inaccurate warnings and flapping errors for nearly all of my hosts/services. Their are many time outs as well. Some of the hosts reporting issues are simple countdown timers that have months before their warning threshold. These countdown items are flapping which shouldn't be possible since they are not real things. I am not sure what is happening.

Please advice, thanks.

I would recommend that you upgrade your Nagios XI instance manually (if upgrading from the GUI fails):

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade
Backup your Nagios XI server prior to upgrading it, according to the document below:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

If this is a VM, you could also create a snashot, so that if anything goes wrong, you can revert to it.

After you Nagios XI has been upgraded, check to see if your original issue would resurface. It this happens, PM me or anyone else on the Nagios Support team your latest profile.

Thanks for the profile! I see many errors in the db error log as these:
200106 15:04:15 [ERROR] mysqld: Table './nagios/nagios_logentries' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed
200106 15:04:15 [ERROR] mysqld: Table './nagios/nagios_statehistory' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed
Let's start with repairing your database to see if this is going to fix the problem. See our KB article on the topic here:
