Nagios Support Forum

2012R1.0 included a fix for post http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 58&p=32620 where the http error log had a lot of entries with "Undefined index: user_id".

Thank you!

I'm seeing a similar issue with 2012R1.0, now the message is:
dbauth.inc.php is a file protected by SourceGuardian, so we can't modify it. It would be nice to have it cleaned up as well. Thanks!

I have added a fix for this, not sure if it will make it in to 2012R1.1 but will be in 2012R1.2 for sure

My release is at version 2012R1.3 and my log seems to be full of these:

[Wed Dec 12 10:13:01 2012] [error] [client 172.22.216.195] PHP Notice: Undefined index: uid in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/dbauth.inc.php on line 347

I did an upgrade from 2012R1.1 directly to 2012R1.3 if that matters. I am trying to troubleshoot why the apply config takes so long to run.

<facepalm/>

I typoed this in the fix (it actually is in an if statement that is for future use, doesn't do anything)

So this will have no bearing on a configuration taking a long time to apply.

If you go to CCM -> Tools -> Write Config Files

If you click "Verify Config" do you have many warnings?

How long does it take to apply? How many hosts/services? Are you seeing a lot of IO Wait time on the server?

We had a consultant in last week to work on system performance, listed is apply times we were seeing. The mysql database has been offloaded to its own vm, about half of our service checks run at 5 min intervals with the rest running every 15 - 60 minutes. Attached the system and monitoring status screen shots. My coworker here Jason may have spoken to you about this last week as well.
applyconfig timings:

failure - 7m 41s
baseline - 7m 28 s
after db repair - 7m 33s
lowered php.ini 512mb ->256Mb - 7m 34s
after vmware tools install - 7m 9s
with nagios shutdown - 5m 43
after ramdisk changes - 6m 48s (both status.dat and perfdata spool writing to ramdisks)
after sysctl tuning and upgrade - 8m 47s (upgrade to version 1.3, increased values for sysctl)
after 4 vCPU -> 2 vCPU - 7m 29s - moved server back to 2 vcpu's, VM cpu scheduling in our environment has a hugely negative impact on nagios i.e. high latency



Outside of the four duplicate definitions the rest of the warnings are for no check time period.

These aren't totally unheard of times considering the size of your deployment.

Can I have you time individually the write and verify from
CCM -> Tools -> Write Config Files

oddly enough the write config only took 44 seconds to complete and didn't indicate any errors but the verify config errored out after that claiming it was missing a host entry. I ran /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh and that ran in about 7 minutes 48 seconds, I did a verify after and it worked, the verify runs in seconds(i.e. less than 10). The nagios engine appears to take 4 minutes and 40 seconds to fully restart.

Can you post the output from:

attached is a zip file of that folder, strangely enough nagios loaded a large number of hosts I previuosly deleted. I checked the number of records on the nagiosql db and its 1665 but I have 2781 hosts displaying, I don't know how to explain that somewhat out of the blue. I could only update the nagios log file, size restrictions

This is super strange.

Can you post you latest configuration snapshot
