Dashlets not installing

I've tried to install 2 dashlets and nothing seems to be happening. After "Upload and Install" I get the message "Dashlet scheduled for installation."

I see both the zip files sitting in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/

I see no mention of either file in any nagios or nagiosxi log. I normally see something in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log

NagiosXI system status is telling me the database is up. What gives?

Hi Brandon,

What version of Nagios XI are your using? Although not the same behavior you're experiencing, there was a dashlet permission issue fixed in 5.6.6. Is this a custom dashlet you have developed or one from the Nagios Exchange.

If you're using the Enterprise Edition, please post a screen shot of the Audit Log as there should be a message showing the installation or deletion of dashlets.

After uploading to /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/, the dashlet should be installed to the dashlets directory. Let's verify the permission on both of those directories. Upload the file /tmp/support.txt after running the following commands. Thanks.

Code: Select all

ls -ldh /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/ > /tmp/support.txt
ls -ld /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/dashlets >> /tmp/support.txt
ls -lhR /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/dashlets >> /tmp/support.txt
