Nagios Support Forum

Hi Marcus,
Hope you have having a good day!!
I looked at your "fstab" files (both machines) and from the "mount" command, looks like you have not setup a shared filesystem (like NFS or CIFS) to be mounted on both of your LogServers.

The "/usr/local/nagioslogserver" filesystem you were trying to used is a local filesystem on both of your logServer machines, which is why you were not able to create the Snapshot_Repository in the GUI.

In Nagios Log Server, when creating a Snapshot Repository it requires that the location MUST be a shared filesystem accessible to all data instances in the cluster, otherwise snapshots or restoration can fail.

Here's the KB article on Snapshot-Repository-Considerations:

Also, the following URL is very helpful for LogServer Admin Guide:

Hi,
I searched the web and here's what I found:
https://discuss.elastic.co/t/unable-to- ... ory/210544

Very similar to the issue you are having, which you must create a shared (filesystem) mount point on all your cluster nodes.
