Nagios Support Forum

Take a look at this link for instructions on installing MYSQL on your Solaris server.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en ... ation.html

If tgriep's suggestion doesn't help, upload your config.log so I can take a look at it. From the bit you posted, it looks like it found the library, but I can't tell if it found the headers.

Look like no 'mysql' installed.

1.Not able to see any process with 'sql' name while Nagios is running.
bash-3.2# ps -ef|grep -i sql
root 5229 5158 0 11:39:56 pts/1 0:00 grep -i sql
bash-3.2#

2.Currenly no user or group with 'mysql' name present on this server.

Just wondering can Nagios work without a database ?
If I install MySQL as part of ndoutil upgrade, will it break my current configurations?
Which version of MySQL is compatible with Nagios 4.1. or ndo 2.1 ?

Attached the config.log

Meanwhile, I will read tgriep's suggestion.


Thanks,

config.log

ndoutils is only used to export Nagios data to a database. If you don't need that data in a database (it's all in the log files) you don't need MySQL or ndoutils.

If you want that information in a database, install any fairly recent version of MySQL or MariaDB, and nodutils. Installing a database and ndoutils will not effect your current configuration.

I hope this clears it up for you!

So, does it mean I cant upgrade ndoutil if MySQL is not installed historically ?
My issue was high cpu usage and too many defunct processes.
And now I end up installing MySQL as part of ndoutil upgrade. Am I on right track?
Is there a way to skip MySQL part and upgrade ndoutil ?

Thanks,

It sounds to me like you don't need ndoutils at all.

Ok.Thanks.
I will then wait for your test result on Solaris.

I went ahead and added this thread to the notes at https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... issues/285

Since this is a development/testing issue, it might make sense to just follow the github issue directly. Obviously, we can pull the developers in here if you don't have or want a github account.

I have the fix in the 'maint' brance of nagios core (https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... tree/maint) via commit https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... 74340c63de.
