Installed Version: 2011R1.8
Centos 64 bit manual install

This may be the same issue as http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... =16&t=4012.

Notifications handler is being called without any data. I've verified handler is being called, but there are no parameters. It may be faulting.
Also - If I restart nagios, notifications will work SOMETIMES. I've verified file permissions. I've even ran the repairsql script (there was a post from the 1.6 update problem where this was the resolution).

something happened between the upgrade that changed permissions on files/directories. The reset permissions script in the nagiosxi script didn't help, but hurt our installation. I wound up doing a chmod -R g+rwx to the naigos and naigosxi directories to get everything online. Then I found some various problems like
-the nagiosxi webinject perl script started erroring and needed a '-X' added to ignore setuid security warnings.
-I had a bunch of unconfigured objects pop up - the config wizard fixed them up - maybe I somehow had some *bad* entries before?


other than that, I think this can be closed. I'll have to make some notes for the next upgrade in case my installation continues to have problems.
