Nagios Support Forum

When I click apply in the SNMP trap sender component on my secondary servers, I get the following message.

WARNING: Event handlers are currently disabled. This will prevent the SNMP trap sender from working!

What am I missing?

Event handlers are enabled in nagios.cfg, and the file is identical on all servers.

# grep event /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
log_event_handlers=0
global_host_event_handler=xi_host_event_handler
global_service_event_handler=xi_service_event_handler
enable_event_handlers=1
event_broker_options=-1
event_handler_timeout=30

I checked the host and service templates and event handlers are turned on there as well.

Since these are secondary servers, the monitoring is disabled in monitoring engine status. I enabled the event handler there and the message is gone.

Please close this...

Thanks

Glad to see this resolved. I will close this out now, but feel free to open a new thread if you ever need assistance!
