Applying Configuration after "reset to defaults" error

Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2015 12:42 pm

Hi,

i have a problem with our NagiosXI installation .. had a problem with a host that would not go away from the "applying configuration" page .. i tried deleting the services and host associated with the faulty host .. but it was still giving error on that host when applying config.

i then decided to do a "reset to defaults" on my system to start from scratch .. but even on a clean system .. the host still gives an error

Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host 'tb-tomcat-1.netcom.no'
Error: Could not register host (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/tb-tomcat-1.netcom.no.cfg', starting on line 16)

is there a temp file or something where Nagios has stored this host ? how can i get rid of it without screpping the whole OS and start all over again ?

regards
Ronny

Please go to Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Write Config Files
- Click Delete (don't worry, they get rewritten)
- Click Write
- Click Verify and post the full output here.
- If the verify has no errors, try to apply configuration

If apply config fails at that point run these commands:

Code: Select all

su - nagios
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
./reconfigure_nagios.sh
Then post the full output of those commands so that we can troubleshoot.

Run the following commands and show us the output:

Code: Select all

grep -R "NAGIOSXI=nagios" /etc/sudoers
grep -R "NAGIOSXI=nagios" /etc/sudoers.d
Then also run the following command to begin capturing log output:

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log &> /tmp/cmd.txt
Attempt to Apply Configuration from the web interface. After the browser has returned some output to the screen, press Ctrl+C to stop the log tail, and post the cmd.txt that was generated in the "/tmp/" directory.
