Hi

I was previosly on R3 and i upgraded to the latest R7. Since the upgrade, i am unable to "Apply configuration" succesfully now. It fails on Waiting for configuration verification... .
and Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.

The first lot of errors in the log related to no notification periods and check periods. xi_timeperiod_24x7 is what was being used.
I checked the xi_timeperiod_24x7 and it wasnt active. i had to edit it and then it was active again. This fixed most of the issues.

Some services still didnt have the notificationa dn check periods. i checked the configs via web config and it was selected. I checked the .cfg files via ssh and there were no settings for these periods.
I added these via SSH (hope this was ok)

this fixed the errors when doing the configuration verification.

When i run the apply config now. i get the following errors-
Warning: Duplicate definition found for service 'Port 6 Status' on host 'flpckwirtr01' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/flpckwirtr01.cfg', starting on line 109)

I have removed this service and host that is failing and its still getting the same error.
I have run the fix permissions also without success.
Let me know what information you require to help further diagnose this issue.

Please help and thanks in advance.

David

David,

What script did you run while fixing your permissions? Did you check your configuration from a terminal or from the web interface?
From the Nagios XI Home page go to: Configure->Core Config Manager->Tools->Write Config Files, click on all "Go" buttons and post the output.
Note: Prior to this, you may try to get rid of these duplicate service definitions for host 'flpckwirtr01'.

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Looking at the error, below is the config for this time period.
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name xi_timeperiod_24x7
alias Xi time period
}

thanks for your help

Sure, let us know if you have more questions.

thanks

Did you remove all of the duplicate definitions through the Core Config Manager? It doesn't seem you did.

hi, sorry about the delay. yeh still having issues. i removed the duplicate (that wasnt a duplicate) from timeperiods.cfg, not getting an error now when running pre-flight check, but can not apply config in the gui.

fails on
Waiting for configuration verification... .
Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.

maybe the database is corrupt or something. i am almost at the point where i should restart the config from scratch. any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

dwatson,

Go to: Admin->System Config->Reset Security Credentials and click on "Update Credentials".

Next, go to: Configure->Advanced Configuration->Core Config Manager->Config Manager Admin->Manage Config Access and see if you have "nagiosxi" account listed there.

I didnt have any luck, so i have started from scratch.

thanks
