Are there specials configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL?

Forced SSL on NagiosXi login web screen

Nagios Xi version: Nagios XI 2012R2.3

Issue:

When Applying configurations, it takes a really long time to finish. When it finally finished, the "Monitoring Engine" does not start right away, and sometimes takes hours. We've had to manually restart the nagios service from terminal (service nagios restart) which sometimes it works and some times it doesn't.

It also does not allow others to make any changes such as enabling alerts, acknowledge, etc... during this time.

Please assist.

Thank you,
Eddie

# grep "memory_limit\|max_execution\|max_input" /etc/php.ini


max_execution_time = 120 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 120 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 1024M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
memory_limit = 64M

By really long time, you mean under 2 minutes to apply, but still excessive for the process to start back up, right? What kind of system load are you looking at during this time? I notice that you have about 450 hosts and 400 services does that sound about right?

We have 3880 services and 817 hosts monitored. And yes, about less than 2 minutes to apply, but excessive for the process to start.

Load always spikes to over 12:

Your memory limit is declared twice in php.ini. Remove the line: From the file: /etc/php.ini

Then restart httpd:

the 64M is encapsulated within SOAP:
