Where are my imported hosts?

I imported a file of several hundred hosts from a Nagios core implementation I was using, in order to do an eval of purchasing Nagios XI. The import went fine, but the hosts display only shows "localhost". I know the hosts are someplace, because I can look one up and see that contacting it is failing (but that's another topic). If it look at /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts, I see the correct host config files for everything. Why can't I see any of my hosts in the host display?

PS - I forgot configuration info. I'm running the Nagios-supplied VM image under VMplayer, all under RHEL 6.

Did you apply configuration through the GUI?
Was it successful (3 green checks)?

Yes and yes. Everything seemed to be OK.

If you go to a Nagios Core view do you see the hosts/services?

Lets forcibly restart ndo2db
If they still do not show in the UI, can you post the output of
Code: Select all
grep module /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
We may need to setup a remote session to take a look at the server.

Did you get a chance to test what scott mentioned? It looks like you just quoted him at the moment.

After the first thing (restarting the db) failed, I didn't try the second. I can do that.
