Nagios Support Forum

Currently running NNA version 2014R1.0. I am unable to do the following:

- stop sources which are started
- start sources which are stopped
- delete sources which are stopped

I have been monitoring the backend.log file in the /usr/local/nagiosna/var directory, but there is nothing which seems to indicate errors. Please advise on next troubleshooting steps.

Do you get any errors on-screen? Anything in /var/log/httpd/error_log?

There don't appear to be errors on screen. But here is the contents of the error_log:

Was this a pre-built VM or did you install NNA from source?

What are the permissions on that directory?

One of my colleagues has indicated that NNA was installed on a server already running Nagios XI. Not sure if XI was installed using pre-built VM or source. Here is the output of requested command:

drwsrwsr-x+ 6 nna nnacmd 4096 Sep 9 15:52 /usr/local/nagiosna/var/

The user and group look great, but I am wondering about the sticky bit that should be just standard execute. Let's take a look at files below it before making changes though.

Here's the output. It's odd that one of my sources, 'andrewtest', is not listed below but shows up via GUI.

Did you have NNA running on OpenVZ virtual server by any chance? What is the output of the following commands?

I have reached out to one of my colleagues with your question about OpenVZ. Here is the requested output.

which rrdtool
/usr/local/bin/rrdtool

sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/nna_conf
Defaults:%nnacmd !requiretty

Cmnd_Alias LIST = /sbin/iptables --list
Cmnd_Alias SAVE = /etc/init.d/iptables save
Cmnd_Alias UPDATE = /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT --dport *
Cmnd_Alias DAEMON = /usr/local/nagiosna/bin/nagiosna *

%nnacmd ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:LIST
%nnacmd ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SAVE
%nnacmd ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:UPDATE
%nnacmd ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/kill *
%nnacmd ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:DAEMON

To answer a previous question, we are using VMware ESXi for VM. OpenVZ is not being used.
