It looks like the data is not updating and it could be that the retention.dat file needs to be reset fore that service.
Stop the nagios process.
Edit the /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat file and remove that service section from the file.
Start the nagios process.
Go in to the GUI and wait for the check to run, does it show the correct status?

The service not showing up in the retention.dat file is an issue as it should be there.
Is there a chance you can download a System Profile and PM it to me?
To get your system profile. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and upload it to the forum post or PM it to me.

I received the profile and shared it with the Techs.
The settings for that check look correct so I want you to run the following as root to truncate the objects data.
Code: Select all
systemctl stop nagios
systemctl stop ndo2db
echo 'truncate nagios_objects;' |mysql -t -u root -pnagiosxi nagios
systemctl start ndo2db
systemctl start nagios
Let the system run for 15 minutes and if the GUI still shows the incorrect status, get the following files from the XI server and PM them to me.
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
/usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat
Login to the remove server as root, run the following commands and PM me the output.

Login to the remote server and change to the nagios user and then run these commands.
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -V
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -u GB -w 10% -c 5% -p /nfs/ora_log
ls -l /nfs

The last thing to try is to delete the retention.dat file so it can be fully rebuilt.
To remove the file, run the following as root
Code: Select all
service nagios stop
rm /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
service nagios start
Warning, doing this will remove all of the Notes, manual Downtime schedules and cause the system to retest all of the hosts and services.

One more thing, can you PM me screen captures of the Service in the Service Status menu?
Show the full menu and do not cut off the name of the Host and Service Description.
Get captures of the Overview TAB, the Advanced TAB, and the Configure Tab showing the Command if possible?
