Nagios Support Forum

The latest XI is 5.2.7 and was just released last week on Wednesday. Want us to keep this open for a bit?

Yes please. I will be updating our production environment once all of the kinks have been taken care of in test and I have documentation to give folks. By the way is there is new documentation available for enabling/disabling notifications, adding/removing hosts with the new updated GUI?

By enabling/disabling do you mean per user, host/service or server wide?

A tutorial user guide for host/service setting into downtime/disabling a single host or service.

Not that I've seen, I've created a couple of documentation task for it though with a link back to this thread:

This issue has come up again. We are on Nagios XI 5.4.4

Sometime at ~5:25 AM this morning nagios started sending out false alerts regarding hosts being down.

Info: (host check orphaned, is the mod-gearman worker on queue host running?)
Date/Time: 2017-07-07 05:24:32

Gearman was restarted, nagios process had to be killed and all services restarted again. The database seems to be somewhat slow as well.

Any idea where to start troubleshooting this?

Audit log shows

2017-07-07 05:18:31 95296 Nagios XI INFO localhost User submitted a command to the subsystem (ID=1119)
2017-07-07 05:01:02 95295 Nagios XI INFO localhost User submitted a command to the subsystem (ID=1117)

At 5:01 nagios does an SSH backup. I am not sure what the process at 5:18 is.

ID=1119 is COMMAND_DELETE_SYSTEM_BACKUP, so it deleted a previous backup.

This shouldn't at all cause your setup to fail.. Before you kill off the processes do you note if there are multiple nagios processes?

I have seen this happen on a Nagios restart if it has to wait too long for mod_gearman workers to return their results

A colleague noted to me that you could also experience problem s if the XI server machine time is not synced closely with the time on the workers, similar issues could occur.

All 4 workers machine time are in sync with Nagios server machine time.
