Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,
We are able to download CSV reports but unable to download the PDF/PNG/JPG Reports in Nagios XI. We are using the latest version Nagios XI 5.4.5. Please find below the config output that may help.

It could that when the report is getting generated, it is hitting a PHP memory limit or a timeout limit.
You can verify this if you check the Apache Error log files in the /var/log/httpd folder while you recreate the error.

Try this change to the server and see if the reports are generated afterwards.
Edit your /etc/php.ini and set the following
If they have been increased already, increase them further.
Save the file and restart the Apache daemon by running Then test to see if the report can be generated after the change.

Hi tgriep,
Increased the following parameters in /etc/php.ini but still not able to download PDF/PNG report and getting same error.
max_execution_time = 500
max_input_time = 500
memory_limit = 2G

Login as root on the Nagios server and run the following command Then login to the XI GUI and try and generate the report.
If it errors out, post the output from the tail command in the root shell.

Hi tgriep,
No errors are generating while downloading PDF. Please help.

Is the server setup for SSL access?

One thing to try is to go to the Admin > System Settings menu and fill in the External URL with the same URL as the Program URL and see if the reports can be downloaded as a PDF file.

If that fails, can you run the following as root on the nagios server and post the output?

Hi tgriep,
After adding the external url its giving same error. Please find below the commands output:

Remove the external URL as it's the same as the program URL, and it is not going to help to have it in there. Do you have more than one NIC on this system? What is the output of the following commands?
What happens if you remove this line: from /etc/hosts, and restart apache? Can you run a report?

Hi Imiltchev,
FYI,

The output from the ip addr command shows a different IP address that your screen shots from your earlier posts.
Is the IP address of the Nagios server 10.230.84.24 or is it 10.245.44.98?
