Error apply configuration in Nagios XI GUI

[ernie]

Hi,
i'm getting the following errors when "applying configuration" in Nagios XI GUI .

-Waiting for configuration verification....
-Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.

when i click to configuration snapshots, there is no config error.

I able to add hosts and services but sync missed. it means, the new configuration not applied.

as 1st troubleshooting, I run command ./reconfigure_nagios.sh and the output is:

Nagios XI Version : 2012R2.5

any hint?

[eloyd]

The hint is your URL for Nagios is missing the trailing / and so http://localhost/nagiosql is becoming http://localhostnagiosql, which is probably not a valid host.

Thanks @eloyd!

I would also like to mention that you are using a very old Nagios XI version.

I'm not sure how many nodes you are monitoring, but that may be something to consider.

We are simulating the upgrade process but we are hitting some problems during upgrade R2012 to R2014. the configurations looks fine before we hit the upgrade.

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config files...

Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

Any idea?

I cannot guarantee that the R2014 installers work, as a matter of fact I am almost certain they do not.

I would strongly suggest going to 5.4.13 as it also has fixed for known security vulnerabilities.

Agreed. We are target to upgrade to 5.4.13. But during the upgrade process, NagiosXI need to upgrade version by version. from R2012 to R2014 then V5.x the latest. The upgrade process stops at R2014.

Else is there any alternative or guidelines to migrate the existing nodes and data from R2012 to fresh V5?

Thanks.

This is an incorrect statement... you can go straight to the latest 5.4.13

[ernie]

Thank You Nagios Support.

Fixed the problem with upgrade NagiosXI to the latest version.

Great to hear! Did you have further (related) questions or are we good to lock this up?
