Nagios XI errors [importnagiosql]

[mguthrie]

Is your copy of RHEL registered with the RHN (Redhat Network)?

[juki]

No, it isn't registered.

[mguthrie]

OK, you'll need to register that copy of RHEL with the RHN in order to get the install to work. The install scripts utilize the Redhat repositories in order to download the necessary packages for the install.

If you need a free server-class OS, use CentOS. XI is fully supported on that as well.

I am also experiencing this error when using the E script however my RH is registered. Here is the output from get-os-info

x86_64
redhat
5Server.5

Seems most of the cfg files are not on the filesystem.

Did you run the install scripts from the /tmp directory? You'll get a similar error if you run the scripts from the /root directory.

[usanet_ops]

Yes, I did run from /tmp/nagiosxi

I did a re-install but this time I installed nagios core first followed by nagiosxi install. It seemed to work ok this time however I did have to change a few permissions on the /usr/local/nagiosxi directory and the /var/lib/php/session directory in order to get the GUI to work. Now able to log into Nagiosxi GUI but now I get this

Code: Select all

The following configuration files have incorrect permissions:

•/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacttemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostdependencies.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostescalations.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosttemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicedependencies.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicegroups.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/servicetemplates.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
•/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg (OWNER=root, GROUP=root, PERMS=u---------)
Each of these config files needs to be writable by the apache and nagios users. To fix this problem, follow these steps:

•Login to your Nagios XI server via SSH as the root user
•Execute the following commands:
◦/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms

Running /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reset_config_perms does not fix my problem plus the configs listed do not exist.

Is that the way the install should happen? Install Nagios Core/Nagios Core plugins/NagiosXI?

Thanks

[mguthrie]

The XI installer scripts will install Nagios Core on their own. If you install Core manually it will probably cause complications.

Do you have gnome installed?

Are you using a proxy on your machine?

You'll want to remove the Core installation, then try the install scripts again. When you run the E-nagiosql script, run it like so:

Code: Select all

./E-nagiosql | tee nagiosql_debug.txt 

And then show us the output from that file (provided things are still broken).

Hi, thanks for your help. After running a fresh install with gname installed I am still having the issue. Below is the output from the tee.

     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions

Oh, you certainly don't need to have gnome installed, in fact it can be preferable to not have it installed. The main thing to check if you're running gnome is if your "service" command works. You can check it with.

Code: Select all

service httpd status

Hmm, that output is missing the data that I was looking for. Can you copy and paste the output from your terminal after running that script. I'm looking to see if the http request went through successfully or if there was an error code.

Can you also verify that wget is installed on your system, I know Fedora 13 didnt' come with it by default.
