Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I'm testing Nagios XI because we want to use it in our environment. We used VMWare image on Windows box, image was with Nagios XI 1.3. Week ago I made an upgrade to 1.6. Upgrade went without any problems, but two days later I noticed that features related with running batches on a vm box does not work i.e. 'Applying Configuration' or 'Schedule an immediate check'. This options just stuck on a interface, but in a baackround those options are running for sure because configuration is applied and next check is rescheduled. Also I tried to run manually script: reconfigure_nagios.sh and it successfully applied new config.
I read some posts with same problems but didn't find a solution, I made all steps from FAQ ("Apply Configuration Page Stalls Out, Never Completes") but also without success.

I'm using VMWare NAT service to reroute http traffic to different port so:
vm with nagios: 192.168.1.2
windows box: servername.qwe.com
http to vm is reroute to port 6663, so to connect I'm using address servername.qwe.com:6663/nagiosxi
This is how my vm is configured

On 1.3 version with this configuration it worked...
Please help I don't want to downgrade to 1.3.

Unfortunately, recent versions of XI have broken some features for users with a NAT. This is due to some new SSL code and should be fixed shortly in an upcoming version.

As a workaround you can use this:
1. Configure both NATed IP and local IP in the NXI server's /etc/hosts (both pointing to the same name and local IP should be configured first - I mean higher).
2. Use configured in /etc/hosts name instead of IP in URL when opening the NXI web console.

This should help

The issue with NAT will be fixed in our upcoming release.
