Upgrading to 2014

[c.slagel]

Running the upgrade script errors out:

Code: Select all

*** Main program, CGIs and HTML files installed ***

You can continue with installing Nagios as follows (type 'make'
without any arguments for a list of all possible options):

  make install-init
     - This installs the init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d

  make install-commandmode
     - This installs and configures permissions on the
       directory for holding the external command file

  make install-config
     - This installs sample config files in /usr/local/nagios/etc

make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/nagioscore/nagios-4.0.5'
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR!  Restart aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration.
[root@nagios nagiosxi]# 

The config should be fine though as it's what we are currently using and it gets no errors on an update. What could be causing this?

[slansing]

We have been seeing this a lot since the release, it's likely due to ghost hosts/services, what you should do is go to CCM > Tools > Write Config > Write then Verify, if you have errors here it's likely that once you follow them down the rabbit hole you will see a ghost host/service configuration that you will need to remove.

Ah OK, yes. I am getting this:

Code: Select all

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/NOXweb3.cfg', starting on line 14)

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid 
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous 
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions 
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read 
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the 
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed. 

Found the issue and removed it. Now do I have to run the upgrade script all over again...? I restarted and it didn't seem to work.

[slansing]

Yes, you will want to complete the upgrade by running it again, it will skip over much of what it has done already.

I restarted and it didn't seem to work.

We're going to need a bit more to go on than just this, what did not work, what did you see??

[cwireless]

I have a similar error when making the upgrade:

Error: Service has no hosts and/or service_description (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/montag.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!

ll montag.cfg file to verify that error exists but I see so normal:

define service {

if I can give support

Your config is stating that there is no host or hostgroup assigned to that service, which your configuration confirms. You should either remove this service, or add a host to it's configurations. Also if this is a continuing issue, please open your own thread so that we know when this OP's thread is complete as well as yours.

[highness]

We were seeing the same issue(s) when we upgraded today as well. We weren't able to add any service(s) to the host, as the host configuration was b0rked.

What we ended up doing was this:

1. Find which host that it was complaining about not having a service.
2. Find all the services associated with that host and delete them.
3. Find the host and delete it.
4. Attempt to start up Nagios again.
5. If the same issue appears, just with a different host, goto 1.

[sreinhardt]

Thanks for the steps highness, I might suggest deactivating instead of deleting objects, but to each their own. Otherwise I would agree with your steps, either deactivation or resolve the issues that the configuration is complaining about.
