Did this start happening recently or after an upgrade? Or something else?
Could you PM me your profile?

Are you able to generate a profile manually using the script at /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/profile/getprofile.sh
That should generate a profile in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/ which you can get off the server with an application such as FileZilla.
After you PM the profile, please update this thread. Or let us know if you run into any errors.
UPDATE: Profile received via PM.
Added into teamshare.

sent you the view of profile via pm
may take me a bit of time to try the command as the issue was not the sudoer permissions per the article and has now junked out my sudoers file
>>> /etc/sudoers: Alias "NAGIOSXI" already defined near line 114 <<<
>>> /etc/sudoers: Alias "NAGIOSXIWEB" already defined near line 115 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 114

Could I ask when you upgraded to 5.4.11? Was it recently or a while back?
You have a lot of these errors in the
event_handler.log.
Code: Select all
SQL Error [nagiosxi] : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '19:21:22),NOW(),'0')' at line 1
In the early release of 5.4.11, there was a packaging error.
The way to fix this is to redownload the latest tar release of 5.4.11 and run
./upgrade
Let me know if when you installed/upgraded to 5.4.11.

That sounds about right, and since the error is still in your
event_handler.log, could you try doing a ./upgrade with the latest 5.4.11 tar to see if that clears it up?
You can run these commands through the terminal of your XI Server. (They are separate commands)
You should save a backup just in case. (There's a link in the documentation)
Code: Select all
cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade
The same steps are listed in our documentation in the "Manual Download" section.
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 1510240405
After this then I'd like to get another profile to check for the WPROC error for "DORMANT CHILD REAPED".

We use repos and yum to mainly do our updating and keep package management and baselines in check.
Since there has been changes to the Nagios xi package shouldn't versioning reflect that and a release of 5.4.12 be done?
This would make it easier for everybody.
