Nagios Support Forum

I am running Nagios 3.2.3 on openSUSE 12.1. Using YAST I installed nagios-plugins-nrpe and did nothing beyond that point. I then needed to restart nagios so at the terminal i typed "service nagios stop" and then typed "service nagios start". I then received the following message: "redirecting to systemctl" which I have never seen before. I rebooted the server and this did not resolve the issue. The following is the output from the command "service nagios status":

redirecting to systemctl
nagios.service - LSB: Network monitor Nagios
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/nagios)
Active: [1;32mactive (running)[0m since Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:35:37 -0800; 58min ago
Process: 2062 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nagios start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/nagios.service
+ 2153 /usr/sbin/nagios -d /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg

Currently Nagios is not running. When I try to access the nagios web interface I get the following error, which I typically see when Nagios is stopped:

"Error: Could not read host and service status information!"

I dont know how to resolve this and would appreciate any assistance with resolving this error and getting nagios running again. If you need any additional information please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you,

PT

Can you manually run commands through the nagios init script?:

Here is the output when I typed /etc/init.d/nagios start:

nagios start
