Waiting for configuration verification never ends.

[suryakiran]

I installed nagios with user root, Is that something i need to look-over as i am unable to restart with nagios user.

[lmiltchev]

Log in as root and restart crond and nagios service. Let us know if this helped.

[suryakiran]

Its still the same. I have added couple of hosts and nothing is getting updated.
Let me know if you need to verify any logs.

[lmiltchev]

Run the following commands as root user and show the output:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
service ndo2db restart
service nagios start
service crond restart
tail -50 /var/log/cron

Log in as nagios user:

Code: Select all

su - nagios

run the following commands, and show the output:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

On the first page of this post, @npolovenko said:

You have a polkit authentication agent running on this server, and its preventing the nagios user from having an access to the nagios service.

and you replied:

I have done the changes, I am able to execute the below command...

Now, we are seeing the same errors... Is polkit-agent still blocking nagios?

If you want to use nagios to monitor your network infrastructure, you shouldn't be blocking it...

Also, I asked you to run 5 commands as root, but you showed us only the tail of the cron log... Please, run the following commands as root and show the output:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop

Hi ,


Sorry about the yesterday message. I thought i have done the changes but i dint. I am able to execute the command /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh ..... as a root user but with user nagios its giving error near polkit authentication.


Please check the below output.
We gave permissions for nagios to run cron and now the output is shown below, Couldn't see pam authentication error which i used to get before.

[lmiltchev]

It seems like cron jobs are running now - it's a good start!

However, the issue is only partially fixed.

I am able to execute the command /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh ..... as a root user but with user nagios its giving error near polkit authentication.

You should be able to run reconfigure_nagios.sh as nagios user. I am not very familiar with polkit authentication policies/rules in order to help you with that. It's out of nagios support scope anyway. You will need to find a way to allow nagios user to be able to execute this command.

Just to rule out suduers issues, can you post the /etc/sudoers file on the forum? We need to review it and make sure it hasn't been altered from the "default" in regards to nagios permissions.
