Nagios Support Forum

After migrating from 32 bit platform to 64 bit all host checks are pending. I installed xi-2012r2.9.tar.gz when prompted that my installation was out of date. I did find that the new server was set to UTC instead of America/New_York so I changed that and restarted all the Nagios services. Checks are still pending. I selected one host and ran check_icmp which returned 'OK'. Below is that output and the output of the host configuration. I'm not sure what to check next, thoughts?

The scheduling information was most likely retained between time changes. You could wait an additional 5 hours for the server to catch up, or force all the checks to reschedule:
1) Go to the Mass Acknowledge component.
2) Change command type to "Schedule an immediate check".
3) Check all items.
4) Click Submit. All checks should now be rescheduled.
Did you also change /etc/php.ini and /etc/localtime with the proper timezone settings?

I left the system running all night, all checks were still pending when I came in this morning

> or force all the checks to reschedule:
I installed the MA component and ran it, waiting to see if anything good happens

Sure did!

Same status - all still pending. Interesting factoids - checking the running processes I see there are checks happening (very few though, at most 70 of 2070 defined hosts) and the status of said hosts are 'pending'.

NEW INFO: when I click the 'view text config' icon in the host configuration panel, the first line of the output says 'error connecting to database'. However, data is still displayed. Is that a red herring?

Note to self - remember that you have configured NagiosXI to utilize a RAM disk to enhance performance. When migrating to new server/platform you have to redo all the RAM disk configuration work again. Host checks no longer pending.

Ahh, that would do it, are they all good now?

Host checks are running now! I am not getting any performance graphs though.

The performance graphs can take some time to catch up, especially if you have a high load. You can stop nagios for a minute and let npcd (the service responsible for the perfdata processing) catch up.

service nagios stop
<wait 10 min>
service nagios start

It turns out that the version of RRD on the 32 bit Nagios installation creates .rrd files that the 64 bit can't read. I just whacked all the .rrd and .xml files in perfdata and all is well. That is something to think about when following the document http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ing_XI.pdf to migrate from one platform to another.

Fix for lack of performance graphs that worked for me:

Thanks for the update, we'll take a look at that doc. I will be closing this thread now, but feel free to start another if you need anything else.
