Nagios Support Forum

Having picked up an aging nagios installation, and trying to update it to 2014 I discovered we have some preliminary DB issues.

Current version is 2012r2.9 on Centos 6.3


[root@localhost scripts]# ./repairmysql.sh nagiosql tbl_logbook
DATABASE: nagiosql
TABLE: tbl_logbook
/var/lib/mysql/nagiosql /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
Stopping mysqld: [ OK ]
myisamchk: error: 'tbl_logbook' is not a MyISAM-table
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

===============
REPAIR COMPLETE

Running MySqlCheck again on nagiosql gives all OK’s except the problematical table below -:

nagiosql.tbl_lnkTimeperiodToTimeperiod OK
nagiosql.tbl_logbook
Error : Incorrect file format 'tbl_logbook'
error : Corrupt



I have attached the output from an attempted 2014 update in case this offers some clues?

Also attached is the config error snapshot that was created when I tried to simply tried to update an existing service in the nagiosXI gui. im presuming theres something in there that relies on the broken nagiosql DB. ..?

Please advise.. built in repair scripts say Repair complete. However, its not completed successfully!

Thanks in anticipation gurus

Run the following command and see if this is going to fix the issue:

fantastic. thank you. is this a result of a basic DB corruption? and do you think it would hinder general operation of Nagios?

also, would it be worth reloading after such a repair? you can probably tell im conditioned by too many years of Windows

Yes. But it actually shouldn't affect anything in Nagios as we don't even use that table... I wouldn't worry about reloading anything.

Having moved on from this, I have reattempted the 2014 upgrade.

im still seeing simililar, if not identical, warninigs and errors, and the upgrade appears to fail.

Ive attached the log file of the upgrade process, I didn't break it up so the errors can be seen in context, but it would seem the errored DB Table wasn't a major factor.

These errors seem similar to those seen when trying to apply a new config in CCM, the snaphot of which is also attached.

I wonder if you have any other ideas as to what I might try to get upto date...

Its not a live server, so I wouldn't ignore the possibility of a fresh install of 2014, and backup restore. presuming of course we can restore a 2012 version backup into 2014.

ive tried remarking out the obsolete parameters/variables and so on in the relevant template file, to resolve the specific errors, but this didn't appear to make any difference. its almost like we cannot write to some parts of the database, although we can to others, like changing a host name of a host.

Can you fix any configuration errors before applying config.

It appears you have a service on 163.160.162.246 that doesn't have a host specified

Hi all

I have deleted this service.

I figured it would be ok to have a bank of services with no host, ready and waiting to have hosts entered. wrong.

I have since deleted the service.

this still leaves the other errors which appear to be impossible to remove either by editing the txt cfg files, or by editing the config in the XI gui, due to the apply config error.

rather frustrating. I guess ill have to use some support credits

I would do the following
CCM -> Tools -> Write Config Tool and click
Delete

Then:
Write
Verify

If there is a config error, fix the error displayed through the CCM and repeat the
Write
Verify

until there are no errors, then Apply Configuration.

Now, DO NOT edit .cfg files directly unless you place them in the static directory as the will at some poing be over written by the CCM during an apply config process.
