Nagios Support Forum

For whatever reason all of my services past Database Backend show a bad status. I have no idea where to even begin to trouble shoot this. I can't apply any new configurations. I ran a repair on the database and that didn't help. I'm running version 5.5.1

Any thoughts?

Thanks

All of these depend on crond running.

What is the output of the following:

I see a bunch of nagios expired passwords
pam_unix(crond:account): account nagios has expired (failed to change password)

is it as simple as changing the nagios password ?

This should do it

Code: Select all

chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 nagios

This did it!! Thank you. What exactly did this change?

It set the password for the nagios user to not expire for 99999 days.

Minimum Password Age to 0
Maximum Password Age to 99999
Password Inactive to -1
Account Expiration Date to -1

So its working somewhat better but after about an hour I have two services showing errors now.

you may need to remove 2 lock file Then they should kick off within about 5-10 minutes.
