SQL error on various pages, new install

[fpjohn]

Hi,

Just joined up here, the company I work for tasked me with evaluating Nagios. I got the setup complete and the initial configuration done. I'm noticing this error message all over the place on our system though and I can't seem to get any monitors going (just trying to do a simple ping monitor for now)...

SQL: SQL Error [ndoutils] : Incorrect file format 'nagios_programstatus'

I'm not sure what other information to provide so please ask.

Thanks for any assistance!

We will need to try the brute force repair. If it's highly damaged it may take more than one run:

Code: Select all

myisamchk -r -f /var/lib/mysql/nagios/nagios_*.MYI

If that doesn't work, we will need to drop the nagios_programstatus table and
rebuild it.

Code: Select all

mysql -pnagiosxi nagios
DROP TABLE nagios_programstatus;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `nagios_programstatus` (
  `programstatus_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `instance_id` smallint(6) NOT NULL default '0',

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply... I ran the first command a few times and it didn't solve the issue.

The second part, I'm not sure i'm doing this in the right place. When I do the first line, I get this: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

[scottwilkerson]

I made this one command for you.

Copy the whole thing and paste it in the command line

Code: Select all

echo "DROP TABLE nagios_programstatus;

It seems to work ok, but stalls when it gets to the last line...

I let it sit there for a few minutes but it never moved passed it. If I hit enter I get this:

>
> ) ENGINE=MyISAM COMMENT='Current program status information';"|mysql -pnagiosxi nagios
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[root@fpdcmonitor ~]#

[scottwilkerson]

Ok, this is likely caused by you changing the default mysql password

by default it is nagiosxi so change the end of the command from

Code: Select all

mysql -pnagiosxi nagios

to

Code: Select all

mysql -p<YOUR_MYSQL_PASSWORD> nagios

no spaces after the -p

[fpjohn]

ah ok. made the change and it did run. however the problem is still there. here's the results from the run...

->
-> DROP TABLE nagios_programstatus;

I sent you an email.

This has been resolved. Many tables were corrupted and had to be re-built.

For other forum viewers, this can happen it the power is lost abruptly to your system, most notable if you do not do a proper shutdown on the system before shutting off a VM. When shutting down a VM you should always run the following from the console before powering it off

Code: Select all

shutdown -h now
