waiting for configuration verification...... never ends.

[yjchennagios]

When I tried to add the host from monitor wizard, after submitting "apply configuration", the process of "waiting for configuration verification......" never ends.
I've installed all required packages on the remote linux systems, for both snmp and nrpd, checked iptables ok, checked configuration file ok, but still cannot add any host into Nagios server console.

Also increased the max_memroy limit size by following the instruction.

No luck yet.

Please help. Thank you.

Can you first verify that crond is running

Code: Select all

service crond status

If so, follow the following procedure and post the resulting files

Thanks

Can you show the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/var

[yjchennagios]

[root@itmon ~]# ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/var

You are missing a number of logs from the XI crons in this directory. Lets stop cron and try to restart it:

Code: Select all

service crond stop
ps -aef | grep cron
service cond start
ps -aef | grep cron
cat /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi

Post the output of all of the commands above.

We need to make a home directory:

Code: Select all

mkdir /home/nagios
chown nagios:nagios /home/nagios

Check to make sure it is noted in /etc/passwd:

Code: Select all

grep nagios /etc/passwd

Then test it again:

Code: Select all

service crond restart
tail -25 /var/log/cron
