Nagios Support Forum

Hello,


We have been trialling the VMware Appliance version of NAGIOSXI, with a view to consolidating our existing Nagios Core and MRTG in house monitoring. I have stumbled on road block with our tests ….

When adding a router from the Monitoring Wizard the Graphs aren’t being displayed. ( Graphs are working for SNMP and other checks ).
The error is saying that the RRD file doesn't exist ... Which is correct , no RRD files are being generated.

I have narrowed it down to a couple of issues with the MRTG configuration file and consequently lack of RRD files. In the first Instance the config file gets overwritten and doesn’t add a “WORKDIR” entry effectively stopping MRTG from running. If I manually add this option the following output occurs when running a check command …

Steps Taken …

Checked Forum ( Unable to Post a request even when registered and Logged in ? )
Found same Issue in forum http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 28&p=60431
Upgraded to latest release xi-2012r2.9.tar.gz. ( Also another issue in running the backup script .. I had to run it from within the actual directory )
Deleted Device and Service Checks from Web Interface.
Removed Device Entries from mrtg.cfg
Removed the Temporary mrtgscan* files.
Re-added Device .. same Result ( No Workdir then the errors above )

Obviously I can change the Check to another one that will work ( ie check_snmp_int.pl ) but seeing as this is a core wizard I was wondering if this is a known issue or Is it operator error ?

Any clues would help our ongoing trial of your software. Thanks

I responded to your last inquiry on this subject, we are going to close this thread as you currently have another open that is identical. Please reply to that one, thank you!
