Nagios XI Event Log Empty

Nagios Event Log Empty

One suggestion was to run the repair databases script:
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_databases.sh
...however, this did not fix the problem.

Just this one issue.

Admin > System Config > System Profile output is attached.

There was no attachment but one possibility is a corrupt database.

Run IF that doesn't work, please PM profile.zip

Sorry, I forgot to upload the attachment on the initial submission; I've attached it to this reply.

As I mentioned, I ran the database repair script but that did not fix the problem.

I should mention that I did do the PostgreSQL conversion / removal procedure, and the Event Log problem appeared shortly after.

However, this is the 4th time I've removed PostgreSQL in XI and I did not have this problem on the other servers.

I don't suppose there is any documentation that explains which [PostgreSQL?] table(s) the Event Log records are in so I can extract them from a backup...? Still, I would have expected new events from MySQL...

PS, I do not have the option to PM; the FAQ says I need to have an Admin enable that option (but I can't PM to make the reqeust?)...

You should be able to PM now.

Looking at the submitted profile I see there was crashed tables in your mysqld.log file and it was the nagios_logentries table that was affected.

It does however look like the repair may have fixed that issue, is the event log still blank?

The event log has always been in MySQL, so there is nothing to extract.
