The upgrade went and changed the commands and now lots of my services check is down.
This has never happened before.
5.2.9
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_xi_service_snmp_win_load
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$ $ARG5$ $ARG6$
}
5.3.0
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_xi_service_snmp_win_load
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}

You must have modified the "default" "check_xi_service_snmp_win_load" command in Nagios XI 5.2.9, prior to upgrading to 5.3.0...
This is the command definition on a "clean" fresh install of Nagios XI 5.2.9:
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_xi_service_snmp_win_load
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_load.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
The "default" commands, used by our wizards could, and most probably will be overwritten on upgrade! It is a good idea to use "custom" commands that won't be overwritten on upgrade, instead of modifying the "defaults".

Hi rajasegar,
This is a known issue in major upgrades and there's a warning about it.
===================
XI 5.3.0 Updates
===================
NOTICE: This upgrade script will update ALL XI components, wizards, and dashlets
to the latest available versions. Before running this upgrade the currently
installed versions will be backed up to the /tmp directory.
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N]
A major upgrade replaces all the wizards as well as other components. A more proactive approach to handling custom edited default commands is targeted for 5.4.0.

Noted. Thanks for the update. A warning would be perfect.
Please close the thread.
