Downtime and Acknowledgement not Operating as expected

For some reason, when trying to acknowledge an alert nagioxi doesn't make the expected change. Tailed the httpd error log and it's coming up with these errors on service page loads:

I'm copying the below steps from this recent thread (same error mssg / outcome)
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=39727

Are you using HTTPS with a self-singed certificate?
Make sure that you have your shortname and FQDN in your /etc/hosts file on your XI server as well, this is usually the cause of it.
Validate the URL in Admin > System Settings > Program URL and External URL.

Indeed we're using HTTPS and a self signed certificate (though it shows as valid because it's signed with an internal CA). The cname wasn't in the hosts file, but I've updated that now with no change in behavior.

I'm able to schedule downtime, but acknowledges still don't take at all. No error messages on the gui. The acknowledge window pops up, I enter parameters, I click okay, the window goes away aaaaaand..... nothing. No change.

That's odd - scheduled downtime and acknowledging are run by the cron daemon.
Try restarting cron and see if that fixes the issue by running this command:
service crond restart

Then run this command and post the output here so we can can confirm the cron daemon started:
ps aux |grep cron

What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using? What kind of user (local or AD/LDAP) is trying to acknowledge the problem? Run the following commands and show the output:

Code: Select all

grep nag /etc/group
chage -l nagios
chage -l apache
grep "<username>"/usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
ps -ef | grep "nagios/bin" | grep -v grep
grep check_external /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
ls -lad /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/
ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
where you substitute "<username>" with the actual username.

I don't know why, but after making some changes in the CCM and applying the new config, it's now accepting acknowledgements.

Will report back if it continues to act up.

Interesting... Keep an eye on it, and let us know if you run into the same issue. We will keep the thread open for a while.
