2012 R1.6 : apply configuration doesn't work

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
I've got several files named cmdsubsys
cmdsubsys.log
cmdsubsys.log.1
cmdsubsys.log.2
cmdsubsys.log.3
cmdsubsys.log.4

I run "Apply configuration"
vi of first file : empty file

Other files :
...........................................................
PROCESSED 0 COMMANDS

[slansing]

Lets see if these files are empty, run the following:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/ | grep subsys

Keep in mind we asked to see the tail of the files, not what they show when opened in an editor, these can provide different results

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Here it's

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios     0 Mar 11 17:13 cmdsubsys.log
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios    82 Feb 24 04:03 cmdsubsys.log.1
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios    82 Feb 17 04:03 cmdsubsys.log.2
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios    81 Feb 10 04:03 cmdsubsys.log.3
-rw-r--r--  1 nagios nagios    82 Feb  3 04:03 cmdsubsys.log.4

Is crond running? Do a running tail on /var/log/cron and then try killing all cron instances and restart it. Send the tail back.

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/cron
service crond stop
ps -aef | grep crond
killall crond
service crond start

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Do a running tail on /var/log/cron Send the tail back.

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi var]# tail -f /var/log/cron

and then try killing all cron instances and restart it.
=> How can I do to kill all cron instances ?

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi var]# killall crond
crond: no process killed

[abrist]

If you stopped the crond service and the "killall" command "reports no process killed", this means that crond was functioning normally (no orphaned procs or multiple crond parent instances). Remember to restart crond:

Code: Select all

service crond start

After the crond restart, are things functioning normally?

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Unfortunately not

Aditional information : System status show many components off since the upgrade (see the attached file).
And when trying to restart nagios :

Code: Select all

> service nagios restart
Running configuration check... CONFIG ERROR!  Restart aborted.  Check your Nagios configuration.

Can you post the contents of the following file?
/etc/cron.d/nagiosxi

And also run

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/*.log
service crond restart

=> Done and doesn't solve the problem

Can you post the output from the following command:

Code: Select all
