Hey, Ya I can see it again now but i made no changes to permissions just to be clear. So would that have also kept the backup from running on all three instances as well? The GUI said the directory was there and writable. Please advise. Thank you!

Yes it would.
If you moved/renamed the old one and then coped the new one it would use the default umask and set the owner to your logged in user.

Can you send
/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log
If it doesn't exist, can you run
Code: Select all
touch /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log
chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log

Can you look in your
and see if a host is specified for the
dbserver in this section
Code: Select all
"ndoutils" => array(
"dbtype" => 'mysql',
"dbserver" => 'localhost',
"user" => 'ndoutils',
"pwd" => 'n@gweb',
"db" => 'nagios',
"dbmaint"
If it is blank, change to
localhost
same thing in the nagiosql section below that

Hey Matt!
Should be in the /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php file.
Thanks!
