Nagios Support Forum

I have been trying to do a backup of nagiosxi using
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh
It ends with this error
Backing up MySQL databases...
mysqldump: Got error: 145: Table './nagiosxi/xi_events' is marked as crashed and should be repaired when using LOCK TABLES
Error backing up MySQL database 'nagiosxi' - check the password in this script!

These are ongoing messages in /var/log/mysqld.log
160923 9:51:01 [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Table './nagiosxi/xi_events' is marked as crashed and should be repaired

I checked the password as follows...
# mysql -uroot -p<DEFAULT> -e "show variables like 'max_connections';"
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| max_connections | 151 |
+-----------------+-------+

Which is the same password <DEFAULT> in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/xi-sys.cfg

Please advise...

Try repairing your tables, and then running through the backup script. it should succeed at this point. I don't think your password is the issue here.

I just ran the repair_databases.sh and it completed with out error..
...
This time the backup_xi.sh completed without error..

Compressing backup...
