Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

We updated the dbpass in /usr/local/nagvis/etc/nagvis.ini.php. After doing so, we are receiving this error in the Nagios interface for Nagvis. Thoughts?

The attribute dbpass in section backend_nagiosxi in main configuration file does not match the correct format. Please review your configuration.

Could be an issue with special characters maybe. Do you mind PM'ing the file to me, and I can take a look?

I sent it to you last night. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Just checked, looks like it didn't get attached, or the forum software filtered it.

Any update?

I've just circled back to this, yes it is catching on the first special character, the second it seems to accept just fine. I looked around for NagVis documentation on which characters are acceptable, but I did not find any. It may be a MySQL/MariaDB restriction, given the character in question.

Ok. That is helpful. If we decide to move forward on Nagvis, we will do a reset of our passwords. It might be good if you included this info in the default password reset guide. That way folks won't use special characters in the passwords.

A great suggestion, I will see about getting that added. Thank you! Is there anything else I can help with, or should I close this thread?

No. Thank you for all your help. You may lock this one.
