2014R1.0RC1 Initial reaction and question(s)

[b2m]

It says version Nagios XI 2014R1.0RC2 now. I upgraded from RC1. The issue is still there. Could you tell me what could be missing in my installation?

Btw, in the TODO file of the Switch wizzard it says "Issue: SNMPv3 of this wizard will not even work with CentOS 5". Is this relevant?

Thank you.

Could you run the following commands please and return us the upgrade.log file.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi*; rm -rf xi-*
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/2014/xi-2014r1.0RC2.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-2014r1.0RC2.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi/
./upgrade &> /tmp/upgrade.log

This should give us a much more clear idea of why components are not updating on your system. Also, yes if you using centos 5, that might play a role, although my test machine is as well and it does display the tab regardless if it will work or not.

[b2m]

Alright, there it is .

[sreinhardt]

Thanks I will take a look and get back to you shortly.

Lets run the following

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/mrtg
./upgrade

Post any error output. I believe this didn't upgrade correctly when you first installed 2014

Still the same issue..

Only des, 3des, 3desede, aes, aes128 are defined for --privprotocol at /usr/bin/cfgmaker line 1540.

When I type

--base: SNMP V3 libraries found, SNMP V3 enabled.

it seems to work. At least I see a lot of information queried from the switch in the command line.

Can someone from you test this, please?

By the way, I also tried a new fullinstall of RC2 in the meantime. This doesn't help, eather.

Thank you.

@b2m - I believe you did find a bug in MRTG's cfgmaker.

Would it be possible for you to attach the /usr/bin/cfgmaker from your machine?

[scottwilkerson]

Here is what I believe I found... At line 1540 of /usr/bin/cfgmaker, you will see

Code: Select all

die "Only des, 3des, 3desede, aes, aes128 are defined for --privprotocol" if $$opt{privprotocol} !~ /^(?:3?des(?:ede)?|aes(?:128)?)$/;

Which needs to be changed to

Code: Select all

die "Only des, 3des, 3desede, aes, aes128 are defined for --privprotocol" if $$opt{privprotocol} !~ /^(?:3?des(?:ede)?|aes(?:128|cfb128|cfb192|cfb256)?)$/;

[b2m]

I'm glad to help . And I'm looking forward to getting a well-working SNMPv3 function in next release .

Maybe I'll try it with your change later on.

Let me know if this works out for you, we can make the modifications to cfgmaker in the source...

Thanks again!
