After upgrade to 5.4.0.2 Database Backend error

[mvndnburg]

I just upgraded from 5.3.3 to 5.4.0.2 on RHEL 6.8, using the package for standalone installation.

There were no errors during the installation, but afterwards the 'Database Backend' item in XI System Component Status in the GUI displayed the red error.

I checked the forum and found this post.

Commenting out the following code in /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/sysstat.php solved the issue.

Code: Select all

#        # Check if we are on a systemctl or not and if we are checking ndo2db
#        if (file_exists('/usr/lib/systemd')) {
#            if ($darr["daemon"] == 'ndo2db') {
#                $cmdline = sprintf("systemctl status %s", $darr["daemon"]);
#            }
#        }

- was this error reintroduced in 5.4.0.2, or specifically in the standalone installation?
- what harm does it to remove this part from sysstat.php ?

For information, the md5sum of our sysstat.php is b6f16324d4dfd0a7156f3cf31db798b2.

5.4.1 Changelog has this fix in it:

Code: Select all

- Fixed issue where some systems would show ndo2db as not running in the GUI even though the daemon is running [TPS#10636] -JO

The systemctl line is not present in 5.3.3 (I checked this in the sysstat.php in our PRD environment, which has not yet been updated) but it is present in the code that I deployed with the standalone installation package.

Despite the developer component, it seems that it did make it into our version of 5.4.0.2...

Not sure what version you are running, there is no 5.4.0.2. The versions are 5.4.0 and 5.4.1. If you are running 5.4.0 the fix is in the next release. You can see the versions and changelogs here: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... NGES-5.TXT

Thanks @BanditBBS!

@mvndnburg - Bandit is correct, this was fixed in the latest version, 5.4.1. Let us know if you have further questions.

I installed the nagiosxi-5-4.0.2.el6.x86_64.tar.gz from https://repo.nagios.com. Hence my quoting it as 5.4.0.2.

The System Info says Nagios XI Version : 5.4.0.

We can update when a new Offline install becomes available.

The offline versions are generally released only when a stable version is out, and has been running smoothly for a bit. It'll be some time as we're only on 5.4.1 currently.

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @rkennedy's post clear things up?

Yes, it did, thanks.
You can go ahead and lock the thread, if you want.
