Nagios Support Forum

So we have a brand new airgapped install and imported all of our config successfully.

We're now hitting a roadblock applying the configuration.

The GUI just shows "Waiting for configuration verification" with a line of dots growing forever.

I can't see any obvious issues in the logs.

I've followed instructions in threads like https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... n&start=20

And the DB seems fine.
I've run DB maintenance and it finishes fine.
The script: "/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh" throws an error that I can't find in any forum searches:

--- reset_config_perms.sh ------------

--------------------------------------
Could not open input file: /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/ccm_import.php

Importing into the CCM failed!

Deleting/Writing/Verifying/Applying manually works fine...

I've updated the port in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php as I'm using a non-standard port.

What is the output of this command?
Can you apply configuration from the command line as the nagios user?

However the WebGUI still won't apply config changes...

Also when trying to submit a command, like forcing an immediate check of a host, it will return:

"Your request was not processed in a timely manner. It may still execute, as the server may be temporarily busy".

What is the output of these commands?

selinux is disabled.

SELinux status: disabled

Our sudoers file is confidential, it's mounted on NFS and shared between every server and contains config for every application, so I can't just share it on a public forum.

It does contain a section that says:

And I've tested and both the apache and nagios users can run everything they need to with no password.

As a test I configured:

nagios ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL
apache ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL

and "Waiting for configuration varification" still gets stuck. So I don't think it's the sudoers config.

Hello @solarisfire

When you run through the " applying the configuration" on the web console do you see any errors or warnings while running this:

Start this command first then 'Apply Configuration":

• Code: Select all

  tail -F /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log

Also observe the Network Tab in Development tools on your web browser to find out what is spinning:

• network_dev_tools.png

Let us know how things look,
Perry

The network tab just seems to be calling:

ajaxhelper.php?cmd=getcommandstatus&opts=7&nsp=9547d2775f72c8932fdb3227cc15c3030314501c671c6feb4709ed656d8a2a60

about once a second... which returns a 200...

Weirdly that returns a json object.

{"command_id":"7","status_code":"0","result_code":"0","submission_time":"2022-01-17 07:22:43","event_time":"2022-01-17 07:22:43","processing_time":null,"result":null}

Is something stuck in the system submitted 2 days ago?
