NRDS_win and Unconfigured objects

Post by juana »

Hello,

Couple weeks ago we upgraded to Nagios XI 2012R1.1. I'm trying to setup NRDS_win on a 2003 server (32 bit). NRDS_win was configured properly (token, urls) from the set of instructions read. We've gotten NRDS work fine on Linux boxes, but this is a first for Windows. I've noticed that in the Monitoring Config -> Uncofigured objects, we only see up to date updates (Last Seen) for Linux boxes configured before the Nagios XI 2012R1.1 upgrade. I don't see my host nor services for the new Windows 2003 that I want to monitor.

1. Could the Unconfigured objects module have broken due to the Nagios XI 2012R1.1 upgrade?
2. Or did I miss a step when configuring NRDS_WinR2-32.exe and that is why is not showing up at all in Unconfigured objects?

Thank you,

Juana

Open the Task Scheduler on the windows box, click on the "Task Scheduler Library", and see if you have a "new" scheduled task (with the same name as the hostname).

Yes, the scheduled task (same as hostname) is there and it has been manually ran multiple times, but I still don't see any activity in the Unconfingured objects.

Run the following command on the Nagios server:

Code: Select all

service xinetd restart
Check to see if you are getting anything in the unconfigured objects.

I restarted xinetd, remote into Windows 2003 server to force scheduled task to run, checked Unconfigured objects couple minutes later, but nothing appears from that host or its services.

Could this be a bug introduced within the R1.1 upgrade? I ask because if I try to delete a service within Unconfigured objects from a different host configured before the upgrade, I get a message saying "Objects deleted." even though the object remains in the Unconfigured objects within its corresponding host.

ll /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 nagios users 763 Nov 14 11:35 /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

Should I 'chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects' ?

/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/ is nagios:nagio, but the files are mixtures of nagios:nagios and nagios:users.

This is normal

On the remote machine, can you post the C:\Program Files\Nagios\NRDS_Win\logs\NRDS_Debug.log
