Nagios Support Forum

Hi

We cannot apply the system configuration
I get the error

Error: Could not find any host matching 'IP ADDRESS' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/SERVERFQDN.cfg', starting on line 42)

Error: Failed to expand host list 'IP ADDRESS' for service 'Wayne-labs_SERVERFQDN_Datalake Job Manager - Webspehere Liberty Servers_api_v1_system_ping URL Status' (/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/SERVERFQDN.cfg:42)

I deleted the Services and the hosts for the server mentioned in the error above but even then when I try and apply the config I get the same error
even thou the cfg files for te mentioned server no longer exist


I tried to restore a good config but I was getting the SQL Error
SQL Error [nagiosxi] : ERROR: syntax error at or near "localhost"
LINE 1: ...ios XI','nagiosadmin',4,'User reconfigured host \'localhost\...

So I edited the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file and changed the following line
from
#standard_conforming_strings =
to
standard_conforming_strings = off

I tried to do a restore but it says at
Configure snapshot restore has been scheduled

It does not change to complete


Thanks

Can you go to
CCM -> Tools -> Config File Management
Click Delete Files
Click Write Configs
Click Verify files

If all goes well, Apply Configuration
If you get an error please post the new error

Hi
One other thing I noticed is that if I goto Config File Management

If I verify files the system reports back Blue and
Total Warnings: 158
Total Errors: 0

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check


But if I delete the file and then recreate them the sytsem reports back Red
everything says Successfully written apart from this line
Cannot open/overwrite service configuration files (check the permissions)!
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/
Files show with ownership of apache:nagios

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/
Files show with ownership of apache:apache

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/
Files show with ownership of mixed output
some
apache:apache
The others
nagios:nagios

Sorry should have put this information in here as well

about 2 weeks ago nagios was running on version 5.6.14 on redhat 6

I exported that database and imported it into a CentOS7 Server tested it and it worked ok
Then upgraded the software to 5.7.1

The system has been working fine for the last weeks to be best of my knowledge

Thanks

Can I have you run the following from the CLI and show the output

Hi

I am running the script at the moment but the output has been the same since I started running it
I even killed the process and restarted the server but it keeps reporting back the same

So I will let it continue and see if it changes

[root@dwylbopngios02 scripts]# ./reconfigure_nagios.sh
