Nagios Support Forum

All -

On the Admin page the XI System Component Statuses from Database Maintenance though System Statistics are Red. These system components don't seem to be executing off the cron.d/nagiosxi file. There are no log entries in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var, which would be produced if these cron.d entries executed.

Monitoring Engine, Performance Grapher and Database Backend are Green.

Any thoughts as what might be the issue?

- and thanks much for your time.

This is an initial install on a clean RH system. I tried ./update with no change in symptoms. No apparent errors in Install.log.

Here's system info:

What temporarily resolved it was to put an entry of /5 for every 5 minutes for the first '*' entry.

Any guidance as what should be there, or why they weren't set initially at install time?

Is selinux running? Can you show us the change that you made to get this server working properly? On my working XI test server, the crontab is as follows: This looks identical to yours. Was there anything noteworthy in your cron log?
