When is the VM image version coming ?

Likely early next week.

[scottwilkerson]

So, I did a fresh install of RC3 on a RHEL6 box (2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64). The server itself looks fine, but I can't seem to get it to actually connect to anything else. I've got it on my dev/qa subnet, and setup 2 dev servers with the NRPE client. When I add the hosts via the NRPE wizard, they just go into Pending status and never update. There doesn't appear to be a way to force it to actually try and connect at all... A little confused.

This is what the host detail says:

Host State: Pending
Duration: N/A
Host Stability: Unchanging (stable)
Last Check: Never
Next Check: Not scheduled

I left one sitting overnight and no change...

If I had to guess it seems like there could be 2 instances of nd02db running somehow, lets run

Code: Select all

service ndo2db stop
service nagios stop
killall -9 ndo2db
killall -9 nagios
service ndo2db start
service nagios start

Getting the below error when upgrading from 2012R2.9:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

We had to upgrade to PHP 5.4 for some security compliance issues. Ideas for workaround?

Around line 540 of upgrade you should be able to edit this line

yum install php-pecl-ssh2 -y

Are there any monitoring wizards to monitor SAN with the new Nagios ?

No new Wizards for this as they are often hardware specific... There are a bunch of SAN plugins on the Exchange though...

Same... Here's what's running for ndo2db

[root@gv1hqqnm38b etc]# ps -ef|grep ndo
nagios 4758 1 0 13:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
nagios 4781 4758 0 13:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
nagios 4782 4781 0 13:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg

ETA: I meant, I did as you suggested, and things are the same.

I figured it out. For somereason, xi_timeperiod_24x7 was completely blank... I manually added all the days/hours and it's working now. Very odd that the timeperiod was blank though.

Any chance of implementing a newer version of NagVis in 2014?

I'm doing more and more with visualizations for our hosting platform with NagVis and would like to see some of the features in the later versions.

Not in the first release, but it could creep in mid year. NagVis really stopped supporting Ndoutils, which means before we could add it in, we would either need to require livestatus be added in, or fork NagVis to fix the Ndoutils compatibility
