After a long weekend, I logged in to Nagios and found that the
XI System Component Status looked like this:

I've tried to restart the Nagios service and the server, but nothing has changed.
Where I can I find the logs to find out what happened?
thanks.

Use this doc as reference, the section 'Logs Located In /var' applies to this scenario
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ptions.pdf
Also, take a look at
usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
Feel free to post anything out of the ordinary you may come across.

Found the issue. The Nagios user was locked.
From /var/log/cron:
Apr 6 13:53:01 REDSA0ELPV016 crond[24251]: (nagios) FAILED to authorize user with PAM (Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required)
I unlocked the account and it's working now.

Nice catch! Were there any other questions, or may we lock this thread?
