Nagios Support Forum

I am monitoring Nagios via nagios:

I was trying to upgrade the nagiosxi and it failed.

However the other nagios server is failing to make this check,please suggest?

Can you tell me how do I restart these?

This is critical, Can you please suggest what do I do?

I am trying to start the monitoring engine and others. I get an error , screenshot attached. PLease do let me know if im missing out something?

Try restaring everything from the command line:

Note you ***must*** use mariadb instead of mysqld in the commands below, ***if*** you have mariadb.

service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
service mysqld stop
service crond stop
service httpd stop
killall -9 nagios
killall -9 ndo2db
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock
rm -f /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.lock
rm -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/reconfigure_nagios.lock
for i in `ipcs -q | grep nagios |awk '{print $2}'`; do ipcrm -q $i; done
service mysqld start
service ndo2db start
service nagios start
service httpd start
service crond start

If this does not resolve the problem, please PM a profile from the XI machine which can be generated under Admin > System Config > System Profile > Download System Profile.

Trying out right away

Everything worked.. apart from the below:

[sadmin@nagiosxi ~]$ sudo service nagios start
Starting nagios: su: cannot set user id: Resource temporarily unavailable
ERROR: Could not create or update '/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.configtest'

I have added the profile.zip here from admin > system config > system profile

Can you login and check? instead of messages for this one?

Hi , Any resolution to the below?

Is the Nagios process still unable to start with the same error message? redhat has an article on how to troubleshoot that that I'd like you to go through and provide the results from if it doesn't help resolve the problem:
