Core Configuration Manager Not Updating

Post by robsoninc »

When we make changes in the core configuration manager we do not see the service/hosts/contacts in Nagios. They are in the configuration manager, but are not the main XI service/host menus.. Any ideas? We did a import of our existing core configuration in to XI. No errors.

Did you hit the 'Apply Configuration' button after making your changes? Your changes will not actually take effect immediately; you have to tell XI to write the new config files.

Yeah. And the status bar comes up as it writes.. takes about 30-40 seconds and then says it was successful. I have even tries restarting the services after.

Not sure if this helps, but when I login and run "ps -ef" I see a list of pings to systems that are apart of my host lists, but under host details in XI all I see is localhost..

Can you try applying configs manually using the Core Config Manager->Write Config Tool and see if the results are any different?

When you did your import from core, you had several options as described in this document
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios_XI.pdf

Did you choose to just place them in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/static directory? If so that would likely be the reason.

You you would like to import them into the XI database the documentation is here:

Hey Guys.. I did copy my config files on to the /usr/local/nagios/etc folder and then did an import from there. I have written the config from the tools menu and restarted Nagios. I also tried to do another import of a small host file and that didn't show up in XI. Should I start over and copy the config files to a temp folder and then import?
