Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I have upgraded to nagiosxi 5.8.5 and am getting the errors

[1627268014] NDO-3: NDO 3.0.7 (c) Copyright 2009-2020 Nagios - Nagios Core Development Team
[1627268014] NDO-3: Unable to connect to mysql. Configuration may be incorrect or database may have temporarily disconnected.
[1627268014] NDO-3: NDO was not able to initialize the database (main context) and will not start.
[1627268014] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo.so' initialized successfully.

I didnt realise the gui was not updateing so went ahead and upgraded cacti, which is on the same server. As part of that process the database was upgraded to mariadb 10.

Now cacti does not work with
FATAL: Connection to Cacti database failed. Please ensure:

the PHP MySQL module is installed and enabled.
the database is running.
the credentials in config.php are valid.

I do not have a checkpoint to go back to as i thought it was working and cleared it. yest, dumb.

All alerts are still working and being emailed, just the GUI is not reflecting any changes. Also I cannot add or delete any clients from the interface, which is not unexpected really.

Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to reach out to cacti for support for their product but it may be DB user/pass related.

If NDO3 cannot connect to the database, please make sure that this file:
Matches what you have in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php for these items and that they are correct for the nagios database:
Then restart nagios:
You can check DB connectivity/credentials to the nagios database with this command:
If that doesn't resolve it, please PM me a copy of your profile.zip, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

If you're unable to generate the the profile through the web interface, please try generating it from the command line by running these commands as root:
Then send me the resulting /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/profile.zip​ file.​

If the profile script fails, please include the ENTIRE output.

Thanks for the response, the settings are the same in both files and I can connect.
