I've added additional monitoring (bandwidth) for 5 servers in our environment. Two servers - I had mixed results. Three of the servers - fine/flawless. Two of them, though - went something like this:

• Used NCPA - added the system - token - blah blah.
  It sat for an extended period of time - but finally came up with the objects available for monitoring
  Deselected everything but bond0 NICs
  Applied - get this error -- something to the effect of "Duplicate entry '1' for key 'config_name'Entry host_name:: inside tbl_host could not be inserted".
  When getting that error - I log into the server -- cd /usr/local/nagios/etc/import - and delete the temp file. Then cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts - ran ./reconfigure_nagios.sh - and it came back clean.
  Went ahead in Nagios gui - "apply the configuration".... and the "apply the configuration" - and it works "without error".
  Looking at CCM>Monitoring>Services - the bandwidth services show "Active:Yes" "Status:Not Applied"
  Looking at Service>Status -- the services are there, and it's getting responses, gathering data - is there a switch that needs to be flipped in the database to show it's "applied"? I've tried de-activating it, and reactivating it - no joy; I've tried creating the service outside of the wizard - same thing. Maybe there is a time-out issue - because of how LONG it takes to get a response for the server?

Weird to note, too, when this happens -- all of the counters wig out for the particular server -- "wig out" - translates into all of the counters for the server go into an "unknown" state.

Hi,
How are you doing?

Please open a Nagios XI command prompt and run the below command.
Please replace 'hostName' which contain the issue. Now, please look at the "is_active" column ... "1" = active, "0" = not active.
Does that service says "0" or "1"?

Here's an example picture of my test:
Let's try and delete those config files and see what happens.
Nagios XI GUI > Core Config Manager > Tools > Config File Management
Click "Delete Files"
Click "Write Configs"
Click "Verify Files"
Now do "Apply Configuration"

Does that service still says "Active" and "Applied" now?

Please share screenshots, if possible ...

Now, please run the "select" statement (above) again .... and upload screenshot, please.


Best Regards,

You can close this. No, didn't figure it out -- but found when I removed everything related to the host including the host, and add the whole thing back - it's fine. So I'll just delete everyone I need to do this on if necessary.

Hi,
I'm glad that you have figured out the solution for this issue ...

Closing ticket!!
