Contacts not getting ContactGroups added in Configuration

Nagios XI : 5.4.12

I have a contact in Nagios XI that has 60 contact group assigned when I check the CCM and the database. When I check the contacts.cfg file, they do not have any contactgroups. Can you help me figure out why the "Apply Config" is not attaching the 60 contacts groups to the contact in the configuration file?

@chicjo01, This could be a Strict Trans Tables issue. Can you go over this tutorial and make sure it's disabled in your database?
Also, please upload the objects.cache file:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
It'd be great to take a look at your system profile. To send us your system profile. Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and attach it to your next post. Or you could upload it to a cloud storage of your choice and share a link with me in a pm. In that case please post something in this thread to bring it back up in the support queue.

@chicjo01, I apologize I missed the actual link to the strict trans tables tutorial that I was referring to in my previous post. Please follow the steps and let me know if you have the strict trans tables disabled.

@chicjo01, I can see some kernel queue issues in the logs. Please go over this article and increase recommended kernel values:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=139
Also, can you cat the /etc/hosts and share the output with us?
Please open the following url in your web browser(replace the ip address with your Nagios XI ip), then click on the Database tab and send us the screenshot of that page:

Code: Select all

http://xi_ip_address/nagiosxi/includes/components/ccm/?cmd=admin&type=settings

Can you please open a ticket at https://support.nagios.com/tickets/ ? It's really difficult for us to go through Sales to get files. Thanks!
