Nagios xi Evaluation, Monitoring Engine problems

Post by tmnewton »

I am currently evaluating Nagios xi and anytime I make a change and apply, the monitoring engine dies and I have to restart it. It starts and runs fine, just have changes it stops. Any direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Can you let us know what version of Nagios xi and Linux platform (linux distro, version, 32/64 bit) you're using?

I too have this issue. I am running on a 64-bit CentOS 5.5 VM on ESX 3.5. xi is 2011R1.

We had this show up in one of our test environments as well. We're not sure what's causing it yet, but when

Code: Select all

service nagios restart
is run from the command-line (or the web UI), an error occurs if Nagios is running. If Nagios is stopped it seems to restart just fine. We're getting some sort of error from the service binary, we'll post an update as soon as we know more. Note: this only occurs on some systems and not others, we haven't identified the source of the issue yet.

Sorry, but I do not see where to download that at. The links on the web page still point at the version I am currently running.
