Nagios XI 1.7 Problems

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:

Code: Select all

    Command submitted for processing...
    Waiting for configuration verification....
    Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.
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.

I asked sales if CENTOS6 is supported and was told yes, however that being said i was told the following:
Yes, you can use CentOS 6. One of our techs is working on this and has
documentation on doing so. You can request his documentation on the
forum linked below.
http://support.nagios.com/forum/

I would perhaps see if you can request the docs around CENTOS 6 as I believe there are some differences to be addressed.
HTH,
Jeff
