Nagios Support Forum

Howdy everyone,
I am getting ready to upgrade my Nagios from 5.8.3 to 5.8.7. However, when I do the backup command it is failing. See below message.

mysqldump: Got error: 144: "Table './nagios/nagios_logentries' is marked as crashed and last (automatic?) repair failed" when using LOCK TABLES

Error backing up MySQL database 'nagios' - check the password in this script!


I have been the Admin for a few years now and never had this issue nor have I changed my password recently. When I inherited it everything has worked except for this time. Anyone else ran into this issue?

Hello @jsalsbury

Thanks for reaching out, appears that the nagios_logentries table has an issue, and recommend that we truncate that table then run through the database repair.
Then run through the database repair:
Execute the backup and let us know how things are looking.

Thanks,
Perry

Thank you I will try this

Hello @jsalsbury

Please provide an update on the results, and let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,
Perry

That assistance resolved my back up issue and I was able to back up.

Now I am running into this issue.

** Ooops, one of many bad things happened:

a) You don't have the GD library installed.
Get it from http://www.boutell.com, compile it and
use either --with-gd-lib=DIR and --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify
its location. You might also have to use --with-z-inc,
--with-z-lib and --with-png-inc, --with-png-lib for gd
versions 1.6 and higher. Check config.log for more
information on the problem.

b) You have the GD library installed, but not the gd.h
header file. Download the source (see above) and use
--with-gd-inc=DIR to specify where the file can be found.

c) You have the library and the header file installed, but
you also have a shared GD library in the same directory.
Remove the shared library files and/or links (e.g.
libgd.so.2.0.0, libgd.so and libgd.so.2). This is especially
likely if you're using a recent (post 1.8.4) version of GD
and didn't configure it with --disable-shared.

d) You have gd library installed and also it's headers, but you are
missing libpng (and headers) or freetype (and headers)
(mrtg does not use freetype, but if your copy of gd is precompiled
against it, you have to install it ...

Consider following the instructions in doc/mrtg-unix-guide.txt

I saw another forum post and tried some of those steps but still am unable to resolve them.

Hello @jsalsbury

Thanks for looking into this issue and providing the details.

Let's have you run through the following and then let us know how things look:
Thanks,
Perry

root@peplap02192:~# yum install gd-devel

Loaded plugins: langpacks, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager

No package gd-devel available.

Error: Nothing to do

Hello @jsalsbury

Thanks for following up, depending on the distro you will need to add the repository that includes the gd-devel. Please follow with the following info so we can provide the correct repo to add.
Thanks,
Perry

Hello @jsalsbury

Thanks for following up, after some checking on RHEL distros they have the option to enable/disable repositories.

Take a look at the following again with "all":
If you see one that is: rhel-x-server-optional-rpms ...... - Optional disabled; let's go ahead and enable that:
or Verify that the optional repo is enabled and install the 'gd-devel' Verify that all others are dependencies are installed too: Thanks,
Perry
