Where can I find the logs for sending out the Scheduled Reports? I looking to see why a report may not have been sent over the weekend. The process is working because the report was sent out yesterday and today, but it was reported to me that one report from a user is missing. I'm not sure where to look for the proper logs.



Thanks

Hi,

There's a log available and it is located at the following path. Also, in the schedule reporting page in the user interface, you'll find a My Scheduled Reports history tab with recent activity to compare against the log.

As far as troubleshooting errors, the Apache logs are helpful. If there's an issue, try to run a tail -f on the log below and send a scheduled report using the Send Now option in the Actions menu. The post the output to the thread. Thanks, Benjamin

Thank you, while those are helpful, that doesn't really tell me if the reports actually went out or not. I created a report and sent it out 4 times to myself and only received one copy. So what happened? That's where I'm not sure where to look. Thanks!

Hi @acentek,

Did you check the spam folder? The other reports may have ended up there. To confirm if the reports left the server, please check the mail log.

If you are using SMTP for sending email messages, then go to Admin > System Config > Email Settings and make sure logging is enabled, and then check the following file. Otherwise, check the sendmail folder at: If you discover any errors in the log, please post them to the thread. Otherwise, if the reports were sent as expected, then it's usually a filtering issue on the mail server side.

Reports are still being weird. From one user they are missing the report from 3 days last week. Today it showed up but the CSV was blank. I made a copy of the Scheduled Report so I could then manually send it to myself and it came in with data. So not sure what is going on there either.

Logging was not selected in Admin > System Config > Email Settings - so that will help now. Thank you for sharing that tip and the location of the log files.

That just repeats every 5 minutes - there is no other useful data in there that I can see.

After selecting Logging in Email Settings, I sent another report through so I could look at the log. So it sent but I was hoping for more info and who it was sent to, to verify the recipients. Looks like I'll have to assume that it went out to who it is supposed to.

You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root

That log doesn't currently list that information, I have created a feature request on your behalf:
What I usually do is tail these files to correlate them:
Then force the report to be sent and that should show what occurrs.

Please attach your /etc/php.ini file.

Today I received two reports for Notifications - same thing. Yesterday was the same. We did not receive our WARNING - State Report. I've attached a screenshot of what we should be getting daily. Notifications - Top Alert Producers and WARNING State History - are reports going to multiple people. (The other two are individual reports - haven't head if those are good or not just focusing on the reported issues)

Most of the commands sent didn't return useful info.

Thanks for the help!!

You're running PHP 5.4, given you're using TLS I would upgrade to PHP 7 following the guide below:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... 7-860.html

Taken from the link above:

Note: PHP Mailer requires PHP 5.6 or higher to use a TLS 1.2 connection.

You can also try changing the port from 25 to 587 in the XI settings and see if that helps, I had a customer that did that and it resolved it for them as well.

I did not receive a report this morning

Think this is still PHP related?
Thanks!
