count of hosts on CCM and Host summary mismatch

Hi Team,
The count of hosts on CCM is showing different value than on the host summary. Version is Nagios XI 5.3.1
Kindly request you to help with this.
Regards,
Beena

You might have hosts who are disactivated?

Thanks @WillemDH!
This is correct, one other thing is the number will not be the same if you are using any sort of templates or services with multiple hosts or a host group assigned.

Yes we have multiple host groups and hosts assigned to them. But we have these host groups with multiple hosts assigned from the very beginning. We see the host count discrepancies recently. Why does this happen? Is that the data not being written into MySQL DB?

Do you have multiple nagios servers pointing to the same DB?
What is the output of these commands:
Code: Select all
ps aux | grep nagios.cfg
ipcs -q
echo "select * from nagios_instances;" | mysql -uroot -pnagiosxi nagios
Sometimes if there are multiple instances in the DB you will see that effect.

It look like there are multiple Nagios processes running on your server which will cause the issue you are seeing.
To stop the extra processes and clean out the Kernel Message Queue, login as root to the server and run the following.
Code: Select all
service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service ndo2db stop
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
service ndo2db start
service nagios start
Then login to the XI interface and see if the numbers are correct now.

TGriep, Can I as why this is done?
Code: Select all
service ndo2db stop
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
service ndo2db start
jyoti22,
Are you using Mod Gearman? If so what version?

Willem, those commands are run to clear out the Kernel Message Queue.
The output of the ipcs -q command showed that there were extra Message Queues and that will clean them out.
Multiple nagios processes running on a system could create extra queues and this will clear them out.
