What is the output of this?
Code: Select all
now_epoch=$(eval date +%s); printf "[$now_epoch] ADD_HOST_COMMENT;centos03;1;nagiosadmin;This host does funny stuff\n" > /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
This should also be logged in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
Code: Select all
grep centos03 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log

We checked the permissions on the "rw" directory's contents, but we didn't check the permissions of the directory itself. Can you run the following command and show us the output?

Are you doing this as the user nagiosadmin or as another user who is an admin?
If you have not tested as the user nagiosadmin, can you please test and let us know if that causes the same problem.

In Nagios XI, go to Admin, Manage Users, edit one of the users that are having problems and post back the settings for that user.
We need to see the following settings are selected or not.
Code: Select all
Authorization Level:

Does this mean that you've tried it as both nagiosadmin and also as another user specified as admin. For the purpose of troubleshooting we'll need you to do EVERYTHING as nagiosadmin, then later if we get that working we'll troubleshoot other users.
Can you send other commands into the system? Maybe schedule a downtime or something?
Again - please - do everything consistently as nagiosadmin so that we can properly diagnose. Verify the user you're logged on as in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
