Newly added host displayed as Host DOWN
Posted: Fri Jan 15, 2016 8:23 am
Hi,
We're running a trial version of NagiosXI and are running into an issue where we need to manually add a route on our hosts to the nagios server. I don't think this should be necessary and am trying to figure out what the issue could be. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
We're running the latest version of NagiosXI.
The hosts I've had to manually add a route to the server are Ubuntu 14.04.
I installed the nagios agent following the instructions provided in the configuration wizard except that I did not run the install script from /tmp.
The script runs successfully and at the end, where it asks for an IP for allowing connections to NRPE, I enter the IP address of our nagios server.
It then returns this which I assume means all is good.
xinetd stop/waiting
xinetd start/running, process 14077
Subcomponents installed OK
RESULT=0

After running this script, I add the host using the configuration wizard for linux. I have SSL enabled. I haven't tried it without but the wizard mentions disabling it should only be required in older versions of NRPE. should be downloading the latest on each host.
I get the Configuration Request Successful.
My newly added host appears but displays as being down with the message CRITICAL - myipaddress: rta nan, lost 100%
If I add a route to the nagios server on the host, nagios is able to reach the host and do its thing.
I've only done this on linux ubuntu servers but another admin that is setting up our windows servers said he has to do the same thing.
Any thoughts? SOP should not be to manually add the route. Again, thanks in advance for your help.
