Nagios XI 2014 Upgrade Failure

[heritages]

Good Morning

Running the upgrade and had it fail on during the config check.

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.

Ran the below check and got these results.

Code: Select all

[root@Mis1SmMo02 nagiosxi]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

     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.

Not sure how to resolve this.

Well it looks like a standard configuration error that you would normally run into if you had issues with a configuration as outlined here http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... onfig.html. Take a look at line 68 of:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg

It's likely that the escalation defined there was removed from the CCM but still stayed as a ghost in that configuration file, in which case, simply remove the definition surrounding line 68, write out the file, and just to test, apply configuration from the XI web interface. If that definition that you removed is not recreated you are clear to run the upgrade again. I'd also recommend verifying your configurations a second time:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

that did the trick.

thanks
