Nagios Support Forum

Posted: **Tue May 07, 2019 2:45 pm**

I have a fresh install server of Nagios XI 5.6.1 on Red Hat 7 64bit VM's with offloaded databases.

When I try to apply a configuration, it tells me that there are invalid characters on usernames (quotation marks). Looking at the config files, the usernames don't have a quotation mark. If I delete the config files, write the config files, verify the files and restart nagios, then attempt to apply the config, I get the same error.

When I attempt to run a reconfigure_nagios.sh, I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

> Importing config files into the CCM
  - Importing: /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/recurringdowntime.cfg .. ERROR
   Table for import definition 'schedule' is not available!

When I try to run a repair_databases I get errors (Passwords, usernames and IP's hidden):

Are there files in here?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/

If so I would recommend removing them and trying to apply configuration again

There was a file (recurringdowntime). Even when I remove the file and reapply, I get the same errors.

Lets run the following and report what is returned

Code: Select all

rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/*
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/
./reconfigure_nagios.sh

Oddly, I can now apply a configuration after running these commands, but I still feel like Nagios XI didn't install properly, even though it says it did. For instance, I am missing multiple files in the /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts folder, such as the reconfigure_nagios.sh (I had to copy it from another server to run the commands you gave me).

Code: Select all

$ rm -f /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/*

This doesn't sound correct at all, I would re-run the upgrade script, it should copy over ALL of the files required every time the ./upgrade script is run.

I have re-run the upgrade. Same files appear on this server /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts, which is fewer than other servers. I cannot tell if this is because the other servers had multiple upgrades from older versions vs this newer server.

I am still seeing errors when attempting to repair the database. Multiple tables show "The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair" as listed in my first post. Is this expected with 5.6.1?

this very well could be as we do not delete files from older systems if they are no longer in use

This is normal, as some of the DB tables are Innodb and are skipped (and logged as you are seeing)

Ok, then I will test the server a bit more to see if I see any additional oddities
