Nagios Core 4.1.1 "Unable to get process data"

[rhassing]

There must be some other executable on your system.

Maybe search for it?

Code: Select all

find / -name nagios

Or check what is in /etc/init.d/nagios

[druid]

find / -name nagios

Code: Select all

/home/nagios
/run/lock/subsys/nagios
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios
/etc/logrotate.d/nagios
/etc/nagios
/var/log/nagios
/var/spool/mail/nagios
/var/spool/nagios
/usr/sbin/nagios
/usr/lib64/nagios
/usr/share/nagios
/usr/local/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios

Is /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios your version 4.1.1?

You could test it with:

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.conf

[druid]

When I run
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /etc/nagios/nagios.conf
It displays information about version 4.1.1, however I saw that when I enter the command
nagios
It displays information about version 3.5.1

[rhassing]

maybe you should erase the Nagios rpm packages.

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep nagios

and than

Code: Select all

yum erase <packages> 

For proper installation you could check:

Rob is 100% correct - you seem to have multiple nagios installations on your machine and they are not compatible. You should uninstall everything and then install from rpm or from source, but not both. I recommend installing from source.

If this is a VM and you can start over easily, then I would take that route.

I agree with Eric on this one. A clean CentOS virtual machine would be the easiest way to get this accomplished. I would make a tarball of your /usr/local/nagios/etc folder to make sure that you don't lose anything too important before you get rid of anything though.

I've erased the 3.5.1 instance and it is now working. Thank you all! You can close this post

Glad to see this worked! I will now close this thread, but feel free to open another if you need more assistance.
