Nagios Support Forum

I have seen https://www.google.com/search?source=hp ... C1EPXuT6pg

It does not list the cause I have identified.

I create objects with almost no information, then connect them to a template. If I forget to connect one to a template, then the apply configuration does not complete.

The problem for me is, if a number of people are changing the configuration, it may be hard to track down which object is missing a template reference.

If Apply configuration errors it should have a "show errors" button.

Also, if you want to write and verify the configutation you can do so under CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management

Hello,

It does not show an error, the dots, just keep going ...........................................

The command line verify works fine, probably since the problem configuration has not been written yet.

I forgot to say, my version is 5.5.0.

Can you grab the usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log off the system and add it to the thread.

Please see attached file

Can you run the following:

[ead@winston ~]$ ls -al /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/recon*

Everything is green, see screen print.

I use templates as the OP describes as well and have seen similar (seems to) runs forever behavior...
I'd check for a lock file as described above, and run the reconfigure script from the shell and see what it says to get clues.
