Nagios Support Forum

Hi

I am new to nagios and this board. I was given the task to update nagios to 4.0.0 from 3.5.0. The make and install ran without errors and startup was clean. I have been looking through the boards for anything similar but have not found it yet can someone point me in the right direction.

I have the following error in the Status Information of the (ping and ifstatus) service check for my switch.

(No output on stdout) stderr:

Can you please post a copy of your service definition which is displaying this issue? Is this only occurring on the switches ping check and not elsewhere?

A copy of the service descriptions. This is occuring on ping and an snmp call.

Are you able to successfully run these commands from the command line? Do they still error out?

Yes, The commands work and have the proper output from the command line.

What distro are you running this core installation on? And how did you install it?

cent os with 2.6.18-348.18.1.el5 kernel.

Installed according to directions on install guide.

did a
wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourcefo ... y.z.tar.gz
did a
tar xzf nagios-x.y.z.tar.gz
cd nagios
ran
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd

restart was clean
/sbin/service nagios restart

What is the exact version of nagios core that you are installing? What is the true "nagios-x.y.z.tar.gz" you are untarring? There was a bug involving this with 4.0 beta 4 and the only solution was to roll back to 4.0 beta 1.

nagios-4.0.0.tar.gz
