Nagios Support Forum

Hi
I'm moving Nagiosxi to a new CentOS7 Server
I have migrated 6 systems so far and all have went well apart from this last one

I install Nagiosxi 5.6.14
I access the URL and all looks fine I can login with the nagiosadmin user as its the default database there is no hosts
I restore from a backup I took this morning backup is approx 5.7GB

I run the tarball as we are moving from RHEL6 to CentOS7

when the tarball is complete I just get the error

Database Error

Screen shot attached

I run the command
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/repair_database.sh

seems to complete without issues
only this is when its complete it only lists 2 database does not mention the nagiosxi database

Screenshot attached

So I tried to run the repairmysql.sh nagiosxi but nothing happens

Screenshot attached

Was your "old" system using postgres? Maybe nagiosxi db is there. What is the output of the command below?

Hi Here are the screenshots from the provided command on both Nagios system
Current and New

OK, so I was correct about postgres being used on your old system. This shouldn't be a problem though. Are you still seeing db errors? What is the actual issue that you are currently having?

Hi

When I start the server (it is currently off at the moment and the original server is still running RHEL6)
All I get is the Database Error shown in the screenshot
and when I try and repair the database nothing happens it says Repair Complete but all I see if that message no login screen nothing just that message

Thanks

Is postgreql running on the new server? Run the following commands, and show the output:
Also, you are changing the OS version, so I wonder - have you tried running the "restore_repair.sh" script as described on page 13 in the document below?

If you haven't, try running it to see if this is going to fix your issue.

Hi

I had run the restore_repair.sh script
But this morning what I did was removed Nagiosxi and did a complete new install and then tested another Database restore

I got the same issue, so I am working if this is a corrupted backup
I will see if i can run another backup and run the restore with the new backup

I have attached a screenshot of the postgresql status
I have attached a copy of the restore text

I found the following which is very similar to the issue I am seeing

Commands
echo "vacuum;vacuum analyse;vacuum full;"|psql nagiosxi postgres
echo "vacuum;vacuum analyse;vacuum full;"|psql postgres postgres
echo "vacuum;vacuum analyse;vacuum full;"|psql template1 postgres

Output
echo "vacuum;vacuum analyse;vacuum full;"|psql nagiosxi postgres
VACUUM

echo "vacuum;vacuum analyse;vacuum full;"|psql postgres postgres

How much space do you have on the new server?
Have you checked both logs (postgres and mysql) for errors?

The postgres logs should be located in the "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log" directory. You can use tail to view the most recent log, e.g.: For mysql logs, you could run this: or this: depending on whether you are using mysql or mariadb.

Hi

Find attached the output from the above commands

Can you take a look and see if anything stands out to you

Thanks

When you run the repair on the db (mysql), according to your screenshot: nagiosxi db is not present in mysql. Only nagios and nagiosql databases are repaired. Since you are restoring from an old system, nagiosxi db must be in postgres. But looking at your postgres log, I see this:

FATAL: database "nagiosxi" does not exist

Are you sure your backup is not corrupted? Can you find the nagiosxi db in the backup tarball? Is it in postgres or mysql?
