Nagios XI 1.7 Problems
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 1:37 am
Hello,
Yesterday i was reading that the new Nagios XI was released and since my other install (still) doesn't work, i decided to give this one a spin.
I installed CentOS 6 on a clean Xen VM. During install i selected the minimal install to be sure this wont cause problems as the installer grabs everything it needs anyway.
So i downloaded the installer and ran it. During the install i didn't see any important errors or anything. Then i created the nagiosadmin account and logged in. After resetting the security credentials to the same as the nagios admin i tried to add a hostgroup. However when i did the apply configuration i got greeted by an error:
So to be on the safe side i decided to reset the credentials again but the error stayed. When i try to view the snapshot of this error there is no snapshot created. After checking the wiki i thought i might have the permissions wrong and i have to reset them. So i did that but still the error was there.
Lastly i decided to check in the tools section to see what error i would get when i forced the writing of the files. The first 3 buttons worked just fine but when i tried to restart nagios i got the error that the command file couldn't be found. When i looked in the shell the file wasn't there.
What i am wondering now is if this is a known issue or i have some serious bad luck installing nagios xi in a production environment.
