Hello,

I have a pilot Nagios XI installed and this issue is preventing me from adding new hosts & checks. I have seen couple of threads discusssing the same issue and after trying out all of them, I still have the problem.

OS: RHEL 6.2
NagiosXI: 2012R1.7
Pls find attached profile.zip for more info.

Steps taken so far:
1) Edit /etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

max_execution_time = 60
max_input_time = 60
memory_limit = 512M

2) /etc/hosts

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain
10.5.1.57   nagios1 nagios1.site1.domain.corp

3) Ran the rest_config_prems & reconfigure_nagios.sh scripts and it returned OK.

4) Re-installed latest copy of ndoutils-1.5.2.tar.gz

5) Stop & Start nd02db and nagios.

Code: Select all

> # /etc/init.d/ndo2db restart
Stopping ndo2db: head: cannot open [b]`/usr/local/nagios/var/ndo2db.lock'[/b] for reading: No such file or directory
done.
Starting ndo2db: done.

Does the perms look alright?

drwxr-xr-x  4 root   root   4096 Mar 27 17:53 var

Any other ideas of what could be wrong? Also is there any specific log file that I could examine?

Does the following endlessly spin out as well?:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

./reconfigure_nagios.sh

If not please post the output from it's return in the command line.

Also, please run the following while you try to apply configuration from the XI Interface:

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Please see the attached file output of reconfigure_nagios.sh script. It seems like after I run reconfiguure it picked up all the hosts that I was trying to add. The initial thoughts seem to be permissions issue, somewhere.

> tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Oh you were importing Hosts/Services? This can take a while depending on the amount of items you are importing. Are you able to successfully apply configuration now in a timely manner? I will do some digging on that Apache error.

I am only importing like 1-3 hosts checks. Not much.

The problem still persists, the waiting for verification continues. I still cannot get the config to show in console unless I run reconfigure_nagios.sh scrip. This is annoying.

On same lines, I cannot submit a check immediately for any service. It says timed out.

Does these perms look right?

Your nagiosxi directory is in /opt. Is this symlinked?

When you imported your configs, did you use the prep tool and walk through all the steps in the following documents?

/usrlocal/nagios & /usr/local/nagiosxi are symlinks to /opt/nagios & /opt/nagiosxi.

I just ran full install and it succeeded with no issues.

Sounds good. Did you follow the official documents for import prep and configuration of core files?

I did the import on he XI console. It went thru fine.

So here's what I am doing to add a new host.

Config Wizard -> Select Type (Say Linux Server) -> Go thru the wizard by selecting default checks and hit finish. Then the verification step hangs.

This sounds like crond might not be running

Can you send the output of the following

Code: Select all

tail /var/log/cron
