Try these commands from the shell:
Code: Select all
service ndo2db restart
service npcd restart
service nagios restart

I am having the same issue. Tried to restart the services they restarted successfully but am still getting the error. It also says the last event data transfer was over 5 hours ago? any more ideas? Thanks.

Hmm, are you running mostly active or passive checks? Try:
service mysqld restart

Mostly active checks. And restarting mysqld did not help either. thanks.

I'm wondering if you have a broken mysql table. In 1.4b we have a repair script for mysql tables, you can access it at:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repairmysql.sh
Try running that and then restarting mysql and see what happens.

That didn't seem to change anything. It is reporting the data as 5hours stale and does not change. Could this be some kind of time issue?

Same here, db repair didn't change anything. But days count I'm getting is even more unlikelier to be truth- "Last event data transfer 15018 d 13h ..."

I forwarded this thread to our lead developer to take a look.
Can both of you post your system specifications so we can narrow it down?
Linux Distro?
Pre-Installed VM or Manual Install?
32 or 64bit?
Amount of checks running? (hosts+services)
Mostly active or passive checks?
Any special configurations, like a proxy?

When you look at the "last check" times for your hosts and services, are they recent? If they are, there's probably a bug in the event data calculation routines.
