Backups not listed

So I have multiple backups located in /store/backups/nagiosxi but when I click on the Local Backup Archives link, nothing is listed. At one point one was listed, but days ago that stopped being shown. I created a manual backup by running the script and also one by clicking the "Create Backup" button. Both are the only files in that folder right now.

Can we get a ls -l of that directory's contents, and a ls -ld of the directory itself?

Do you see anything in the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/scheduledbackups.log" that can give us some clues?

That's the entire file and the backup I created last night. It didn't complete due to a crashed table. That has been resolved and I deleted the folder that was never finished from that last night run.

The XI backup component could be improved by:
  • Implementing alerting if a backup failed
    Backup logs that you can view in the XI interface (for each backup that ran)

Hey Bandit,

Can you check the permissions of the /store/backups folder? And if possible can you tail the Apache error_log when you click on the page that lists all your backups to see if there is an error in getting the list?

(As always, your feature requests are awesome I will add them to the never ending todo list)

Is apache part of the nagios group?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/group|grep nagios
Also, just to verify, is selinux enabled?
getenforce
