Cannot Apply Configuration after upgrade to NagiosXI R2.6

Hi all,

I was previously on NagiosXI R2.0 and upgraded to R2.6, everything went well during the upgrade (So I thought!) but when I attempt to apply the configuration I get the following error

(tick) Command submitted for processing...
(!) Waiting for configuration verification........
(!) Nagios restart command failed.

When I click Show Config Changes - everything checks out ok

Code: Select all

Write host configurations ...
Host configuration files successfully written!

Write service configurations ...
Service configuration files successfully written!

Configuration file: hostgroups.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: servicegroups.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: hosttemplates.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: servicetemplates.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: timeperiods.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: commands.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: contacts.cfg successfully written!

Configuration file: hostdependencies.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: serviceescalations.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: hostescalations.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: serviceextinfo.cfg successfully written!
Configuration file: hostextinfo.cfg successfully written!
The hosts and service configuration are all successfully written,

Then I click Show Errors

Code: Select all

Error: The description string for service 'Check Registrar is Go Daddy, INC' on host 'example.com' contains one or more illegal characters.
I believe the comma is to blame, but the problem is I didn't see this service appear in my CCM services list after the upgrade!
So I cannot delete or rename the service!

How do I remove this service entry? it must be still resident on the system somewhere?

Could someone please help!

Thanks

You can temporarily deactivate the 'Check Registrar is Go Daddy, INC' service until you clear things out. Go to the CCM->Services->Check Registrar is Go Daddy, INC->and click on the "Yes" active button to deactivate the service. Don't apply configuration yet. Run the Write Config Tool to make sure you don't have any more config errors as nagios cannot start/restart with config errors.

CCM->Tools->Write Config Files->Write (check the output for errors)->Verify (check the output for errors)

If there are no config errors, apply configuration. If everything is OK, go back to the CCM, and take care of the "illegal characters" issue.

ok, the "check registrar" doesn't appear in the Nagios CCM therefore I cannot disable it.
When I attempt to verify, here are the results.
There were a whole bunch of Warnings: Duplicate definition found for service - I just copied one below (there are at least 12, all for different hosts)

What is the output of? grep -R Registrar /usr/local/nagios/etc/
ok, due to privacy reasons I'm going to alter the name
I had an output of 259 files - they were all around the lines of this - just with different names and registrars

Code: Select all

OK so we need to deal with this first:
sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: Alias `NAGIOSXI' already defined near line 112 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 112
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
Can you attach your /etc/sudoers file here as well as any files in /etc/sudoers.d/

It's important that you attach them so we can see them in their original format.

Hi,

As requested...

Code: Select all

## Sudoers allows particular users to run various commands as
## the root user, without needing the root password.
##
## Examples are provided at the bottom of the file for collections
## of related commands, which can then be delegated out to particular
## users or groups.
##
## This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command.

## Host Aliases
## Groups of machines. You may prefer to use hostnames (perhaps using
## wildcards for entire domains) or IP addresses instead.
# Host_Alias     FILESERVERS = fs1, fs2
# Host_Alias     MAILSERVERS = smtp, smtp2

## User Aliases
## These aren't often necessary, as you can use regular groups
## (ie, from files, LDAP, NIS, etc) in this file - just use %groupname
## rather than USERALIAS
# User_Alias ADMINS = jsmith, mikem


## Command Aliases
## These are groups of related commands...

## Networking
# Cmnd_Alias NETWORKING = /sbin/route, /sbin/ifconfig, /bin/ping, /sbin/dhclient, /usr/bin/net, /sbin/iptables, /usr/bin/rfcomm, /usr/bin/wvdial, /sbin/iwconfig, /sbin/mii-tool

## Installation and management of software
# Cmnd_Alias SOFTWARE = /bin/rpm, /usr/bin/up2date, /usr/bin/yum

## Services
# Cmnd_Alias SERVICES = /sbin/service, /sbin/chkconfig

## Updating the locate database
# Cmnd_Alias LOCATE = /usr/bin/updatedb

## Storage
# Cmnd_Alias STORAGE = /sbin/fdisk, /sbin/sfdisk, /sbin/parted, /sbin/partprobe, /bin/mount, /bin/umount

## Delegating permissions
# Cmnd_Alias DELEGATING = /usr/sbin/visudo, /bin/chown, /bin/chmod, /bin/chgrp

## Processes
# Cmnd_Alias PROCESSES = /bin/nice, /bin/kill, /usr/bin/kill, /usr/bin/killall

## Drivers
# Cmnd_Alias DRIVERS = /sbin/modprobe

# Defaults specification

#
# Disable "ssh hostname sudo <cmd>", because it will show the password in clear.
#         You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo <cmd>".
#
######################Defaults    requiretty

#
# Preserving HOME has security implications since many programs
# use it when searching for configuration files.
#
Defaults    always_set_home

Defaults    env_reset
Defaults    env_keep =  "COLORS DISPLAY HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC KDEDIR LS_COLORS"
Defaults    env_keep += "MAIL PS1 PS2 QTDIR USERNAME LANG LC_ADDRESS LC_CTYPE"

Defaults    secure_path = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

## Next comes the main part: which users can run what software on
## which machines (the sudoers file can be shared between multiple
## systems).
## Syntax:
##
##      user    MACHINE=COMMANDS
##
## The COMMANDS section may have other options added to it.
##
## Allow root to run any commands anywhere
root    ALL=(ALL)       ALL

## Allows members of the 'sys' group to run networking, software,
## service management apps and more.

I'm pretty sure this is the source of your problem. Let's move it to /tmp

Code: Select all

mv /etc/sudoers.d/filename /tmp/
Obviously change "filename" to the name of the file in /etc/sudoers.d

Now run this and see if your problem is fixed:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
