How to troubleshoot Configuration Wizard issues...

[lee.krause]

Install of Nagios:
1 Nagios XI 5.2.3
2 Redhat 6.7
3 64bit
4 Manual Install of XI

I'm trying to monitor a Solaris server.
1) The Solaris server has the NRPE agent installed (2.14) with the nagios server ip in allowed_hosts.
2) When I go to the Configuration Wizard, I just get "Waiting for configuration verification......................." repeating and never ending....

Where do I start looking at troubleshooting? What logs Server side or Client side?

Thanks!

Please run the following command as root from the Nagios server command line and post last 20 or so lines of output: /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

The script ran for 20 minutes and this was repeated over and over.

Does your nagiosadmin password contain any characters that aren't alphanumeric?

[lee.krause]

Yes.

[hsmith]

Are you making sure the password is wrapped in single quotes?

[lee.krause]

Where do I put the password in?

[rkennedy]

Yes.

This may be the issue, depending what the symbol is as this query could be parsing or stripping. Can you try changing your nagiosadmin password to something alphanumeric, and then try again?

[lee.krause]

Do I change it in the GUI? Or is there somewhere else I need to change it?

[lee.krause]

Ok I changed the nagiosadmin password and here the last few lines of the script:
