What version of XI are you running?
Do you have scripts that are sending commands to the nagios command pipe?
Does the log contain lines near those lines that start with
Can you show the results of the following
Code: Select all
grep log_external_commands /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
If it doesn't equal 1 you may want to edit that line and restart nagios to log the commands that are being sent to the system

While we do plan on doing that down the road, not yet.

Alright. Are you seeing any more "malformed Commands"?

Nope. Haven't seen any for quite a while.
Any idea how we can get these hosts out of the recurring downtime spiral?

I really need to see if we can get this resolved today. Where does Nagios keep the list of hosts that need to have downtime scheduled? Can I manually go in and remove those?
I've tried going to the Incident Management / Scheduled Downtime link and the host(s) show up there. I can delete the hosts from there, but a few minutes later, they automagically reappear.

Well, if the downtime was created as "recurring", it will reappear in the standard downtime lists. You will need to remove the recurring downtime from: home --> incident management --> recurring downtime.

The recurring hosts there (under home --> incident management --> recurring downtime --> services are correct. Where the issue is, is when I got to home --> incident management --> Scheduled Downtime there are a TON of hosts listed here. THESE are the ones I for some reason can't remove...

No hosts in the recurring downtime interface?
Lets check the recurring config:
Code: Select all
cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/recurringdowntime.cfg

There are a ton of hosts in that file (and many of offending members are in that file). Can I remove the

section for each server I want out of there? If so, do I need to restart nagios?
