We have installed nagios XI on new server

Copied files from core to orig directory

Config prep tool from orig directory to cfgprep.
php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php orig/contacts.cfg
php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php orig/contactgroups.cfg
php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php orig/hosts.cfg
php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php orig/usa0300vm611.cfg

While trying to do import config files.It is showing nothing.

Can you please let us know where it went wrong.

Have you taken a look at the importing core files into XI document? You should be able to import core configs from the XI interface.

Yes we are using the same process but the import config tool doesn't show up anything.

We have already setup nagios xi on couple of servers which is working fine.This issue is for another 2 new servers.We are not sure if it is due to nagios installation problem or anything else.

What permissions are applied on those files? You should be sure that the nagios user and group both have full read\write access to them.

Can you also show the permissions on the cfgprep folder itself?

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep

It must be a permissions up the tree...

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/etc
ls -ld /usr/local/nagios
ls -ld /usr/local
ls -ld /usr

Corrected the permission of nagios directory in /usr/local/nagios from root to nagios but still no luck
drwxr-xr-x 8 nagios nagios 4096 Feb 6 16:24 /usr/local/nagios

Below is the output of commands

tmproot@usa0300lv886>ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/etc
drwxrwsr-x 8 apache nagios 4096 Feb 18 11:45 /usr/local/nagios/etc

tmproot@usa0300lv886>ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/
drwxr-xr-x 8 nagios nagios 4096 Feb 6 16:24 /usr/local/nagios/

tmproot@usa0300lv886>ls -ld /usr/local/
drwxr-xr-x. 16 root root 4096 Feb 7 09:01 /usr/local/

tmproot@usa0300lv886>ls -ld /usr
drwxr-xr-x. 15 root root 4096 Dec 12 17:21 /usr

Are you sure there's something actually wrong? The prep tool will run cleaning functions on the original files, and drop prepared config files in the current working directory. So if you have files that were copied into the cfgprep directory, then it probably worked just fine, and you can import them into the Core Config Manager.
