Nagios Support Forum

I tried to run the upgrade from 2014R1.0 to R1.1 and it failed.

I restored from tape backup but now I only have a few services displaying whereas I had about 40 or so before. This is on my test migration system so fortunately there aren't that many active servers or services on it.

The write and verify of configuration come up clean but it only writes 8 services for 10 hosts. The hosts and all their services are marked as active in CCM.

Try deleting all the host and service definition flat files.
Once you've done this, go into CCM and under Quick tools click Apply Configuration (this will re-create all of the host and service definition flat files).

Did this fix your problem?

That did not help.

Odd thing about this is that I can use the Write Config tool and I get no errors. If I use the Apply Configuration tool it fails.

What does the apply configuration tell you specifically when it errors out? There is a possibility that it is spitting out a DB error as opposed to a configuration error.

It says:

Applying Configuration

Command submitted for processing...
Waiting for configuration verification.................................................................
Configurations failed to write to file.

An error occurred while attempting to apply your configuration to Nagios Core. Monitoring engine configuration files have been rolled back to their last known good checkpoint.

Please apply config again, after the failure go to CCM->Monitoring Config Snapshots (on the left)->from the top red line, open the second icon from the left (should look like a piece of paper with a small corner folded). Paste the output from that file into the forum. Please remember to use

This is the list of config snapshots:

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Did you resolve this or do you still need help?

If you need help, please attach the file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg'
