I have 2 Nagios XI servers using Global Event Handlers. Since upgrading to 5.3.0 the Global Event Handlers no longer work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Global Event Handler component. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

What is the version of the "Global Even Handlers" component that you see when you go to Admin->Manage Components? Have you enabled "state changes", "notifications" commands, or both? Can you show us a screenshot?
Can you also give us a specific example of the error that you are getting? Show us relevant configs/logs (hide sensitive info).

Global Event Handlers - 1.2.0
I'm not getting any errors. Events are not executing.
I have added a screenshot of my Global Event Handler screen.
What logs should I look at?
Thanks

you can post /tmp/nagiosxi/upgrade.log here. Also, if you could PM me your profile that will help us. Admin -> System Profile (Under System Config) -> Download Profile.

In addition to what dwhitfield said, start a running tail on the "event_handler.log":
Code: Select all
tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/event_handler.log
then go to Home->Host Detail, click on a host, go to "Advanced" tab, and submit a passive check result to change the current state of the host. Check the output of the tail command to see if anything shows up there.
You can do a very simple test by creating a bash script, i.e. "test.sh" as such:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
DATE=$(date)
echo "The host has changed state at $DATE" >> /tmp/test.txt
Place it in /tmp, and made it executable:
Add it to your global event handler.

and click on "Apply Settings". Create a host state change, and check to see of the "/tmp/test.txt" file was created.

I did the tail on the event_handler.log
Created the bash script, made it executable.
Added it to the Global Event Handler
Created a state change. I see the event come up in the event_hander log. But, it never fires off the script.
Which is what I have been seeing on 2 different Nagios servers, since the upgrade.
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
Thanks

It sounds like there may be a permission issue on the script you're executing at this point. What is the output of ls -la /path/to/your/script.sh?

-rwxrwxr-x 1 apache nagios 6233 Oct 3 14:53 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_alert
This has been working for months. Quit working after latest upgrade.
Thanks

Also as a test. I set the above script (check_alert) as a local event_handler on a host. Then submitted a passive check to create a state change. The script executed as expected.
Thanks
