Problems setting up initial scan after install

[mdifiglia]

Installed Nagios on VMWare from OVA file OK, but can't get an initial scan to work. Possible issue with MySQL?

Can you show us a screenshot of what you're referring to when you say 'can't get an initial scan to work'?

I tried the Auto-Discovery for my subnet and it didn't pull any results. I also tried the configuration wizard for the website URL monitoring.

From the command line of Nagios, can you run nmap 190.200.0.0/24 and post the full result? That's all this command is doing under the hood.

As for the wizards not working, could you elaborate? The website URL monitor should work. Please post your /etc/hosts file, a screenshot of your Admin -> System Settings page, and inform us what URL you are accessing the GUI using.

Thanks for running the nmap scan manually. What network configuration are you using in your guest - bridged, NAT, host-only, some other custom? We'll need to know this. Also, from the Nagios server, are you able to ping a host or two on that subnet?

Thanks, but that screenshot isn't related to the the questions asked in the previous post -- can you answer those questions?

I'm able to ping IP's and FQDN's with no problem from the nagios server.

Excellent, thanks for those details. Given you can ping all hosts from XI without issue, then I suspect something with the vmware network configuration you're using in your guest - do you know if it is: bridged, NAT, host-only, some other custom?

Additionally, another quick test is to add the '-Pn' option to an nmap scan like so:
nmap -Pn 190.200.0.0/24
Could you run that and post the output here?
