How to complete Linux Nagios xi Wizard installation?

Post by nagiosadmin42 »

I'm using Nagios xi 2011R2.0. I went through Manage Configuration Wizards to upload the Linux Nagios xi Wizard, which I downloaded from http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... server.zip.

However, when I pressed Upload Wizard, I got the message "Wizard scheduled for installation" instead of "Wizard installed" as shown in the documentation (http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... izards.pdf), and the wizard isn't available in the Monitoring Wizard's Step 1 list.

I see the pending file /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/configwizard-linux-server.zip on the Nagios xi server, how do I get the system to install it?

Yeah, I was reading the documentation and browsing posts in this forum, and someone mentioned cron. I reviewed the fullinstall script and saw that it installs some cron jobs, however crond wasn't running.

Code: Select all

# service crond status
crond is stopped
# service crond start
Starting crond:                                            [  OK  ]
After starting crond, the Linux Server agent appeared almost immediately in the Manage Configuration Wizards list.
