Waiting for configuration verification...

Hi,
I have installed Nagios XI as a pre-sale / proof of concept (which if it works well we will be purchasing an Enterprise license) and I have across across an issue.
When applying configuration either when adding a new host or a new host group I get "Waiting for configuration verification..." but it never completes. This is on a fresh and up to date RHEL 6 install using Nagios XI 2014R2.5.
I have applied the suggestions in the FAQ [1] without success (ie php.ini and /etc/hosts changes).
Preflight checks look ok [2]
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply but I suspect that is for a different issue.
Nevertheless I applied the scripts, restarted the server and tested again. Unfortunately it didn't resolve the issue.

Open an ssh session to your Nagios XI host
Run these commands and send back the output:
Code: Select all
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh

So just to make sure I haven't done anything stupid, I rolled back the system to a pre-install image and ran through the installation process again. I configured Nagios to use Active Directory for authentication and added one npre host to monitor. When I added the host the issue still occurred.
I the ran the commands as requested (above):
Code: Select all
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/; ./reconfigure_nagios.sh

The host which I setup for monitoring is now visible in the "Host detail" page, however I still get the same results when I try to add new hosts (ie stuck on "Waiting for configuration verification"

Great to so we know it's just the Apply Configuration Process that has issues.
Here's some things to try:
At the command line type:
Code: Select all
grep manage_services /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restart_nagios_with_export.sh
If the result starts with sudo, remove the "sudo" from the file:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restart_nagios_with_export.sh
Change from:
Code: Select all
sudo ./manage_services.sh restart nagios
To:
Code: Select all
./manage_services.sh restart nagios
Save and try Apply Configuration now.
If that doesn't work, post your /etc/sudoers file and any files in /etc/sudoers.d/

Hi,
Thanks for the help. There is no sudo line in /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restart_nagios_with_export.sh
Following is /etc/sudoers (with munged usernames). There are no files in /etc/sudoers.d/

You will actually want to add "sudo" to line #44 if you are running cent/rhel 5 or 6. Edit :
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/restart_nagios_with_export.sh
Change line #44 from:
Code: Select all
./manage_services.sh restart nagios
To:
Code: Select all
sudo ./manage_services.sh restart nagios
The sudo needs to be removed on cent/rhel 7 systems.
Not: This all should be fixed in XI 2014r2.6.
