Unconfigured objects not showing up

[scottwilkerson]

First lets comment out the following line from your /etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

extension=ixed.5.3.lin

and restart httpd

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

Now I would like you to run the following and return the output

Code: Select all

php -q /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/parse_core_eventlog.php
cat /etc/php.ini |grep disable_functions

I believe sometime ago Scott had a remote support session with us due to a similar problem and the issue ended up being on the log files being hardcoded somewhere on nagios and not adapting to changes, at the time this was supposedly fixed, can it be a re-occurance of the bug? (Note: I'm not 100% sure it was this same bug)

we do have the logs pointed to another folder...

I noticed this script is trying to access usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log however our logs are in /somefolder/var/nagios.log . As such this file is actually empty '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log'

After a bit more searching i noticed the file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg.xi' had the log_file pointing to '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log' and not '/somefolder/var/nagios.log' whereas the file file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg.xi' had the log_file pointing to '/somefolder/var/nagios.log' could this have been messed in an upgrade or so? all was working fine until sometime ago... also i don't recall existing two config files...

After correcting these to point to '/somefolder/var/nagios.log' on both log files i'm able to see the unconfigured objects... Will give it some time to ensure all is working correctly.

Why has this happened? misconfiguration from our part? updates? all was working ok until recently...

on a side note, i'm now unsure of what fixed it, seems fixing it only on the config file didn't help, however when i hard-code it on the file '/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/parse_core_eventlog.php' then it seems to work

Code: Select all

$log_file = grab_array_var($cfg['component_info']['nagioscore'],'log_file', '/somefolder/var/nagios.log');

I assume symlinking the log files default location to the real location is out of the question in your environment?

[johndoe]

Not out of the question and probably what needs done, however nagios has a configuration to change the log location (which we used), shouldn't it just work?

[scottwilkerson]

Actually, you will need to add the following to your
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php

find

Code: Select all

$cfg['component_info']=array(
        "nagioscore" => array(

change to

Code: Select all

$cfg['component_info']=array(
        "nagioscore" => array(
                "log_file" => "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log",
