The odd thing is that the duplicate lines don't actually exist in the config files for SERVER3.

@hbouma, Please run the repair databases script and let me know if it fixes your issue.
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_databases.sh
Next, please show me the output of the following commands:
cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios | grep NagiosRunFile=
cat /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint.sh | grep lockfile=
cat /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint_specific.sh | grep lockfile=
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep lock
Finally, please run these commands if you are on CentOS/RHEL 6.X:
service crond stop
service npcd stop
service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
pkill -9 -u nagios
for i in $(ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'); do ipcrm -q $i; done
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/dbmaint.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/event_handler.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock
service mysqld restart
service ndo2db start
service nagios start
service npcd start
service crond start
Or run these commands if you are on CentOS/RHEL 7.X:
systemctl stop crond
systemctl stop npcd
systemctl stop nagios
systemctl stop ndo2db
pkill -9 -u nagios
for i in $(ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'); do ipcrm -q $i; done
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/dbmaint.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/event_handler.lock
rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock
systemctl restart mariadb
systemctl start ndo2db
systemctl start nagios
systemctl start npcd
systemctl start crond

Completed without errors. This did not resolve the issue.

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios | grep NagiosRunFile=
NagiosRunFile=/var/run/nagios.lock

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint.sh | grep lockfile=
lockfile="/var/run/nagios.lock"

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint.sh | grep lockfile=
lockfile="/var/run/nagios.lock"

Code: Select all

$ cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg | grep lock
lock_file=/var/run/nagios.lock
As for running those commands on our RHEL 7 box, I have a change request in, but it will take 1 week for our lower environment and 2 weeks for our Production environment.

@hbouma, Can you check into MySQL logs on remote servers?
10.201.252.17
10.201.252.27
10.201.252.12
10.201.252.24
The db log should be in one of these locations:
/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
or
/var/log/mysqld.log
If you see any errors please post them in the thread.

They all have the same messages in /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log.

@hbouma, These messages don't seem to be related to the issue. Can you change some host or service config again and then run the following command in console and while it's still running go ahead and click on Apply Configuration:
tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log
Please paste all the output from the command in the thread.

Next, sign in to the core interface:
*Replace 192.168.3.144 with your XI IP address.

And let me know whether the service that you just changed is displayed with the right changes or displayed as if you haven't made any changes.
