Installing NagVis corrupts xi installation

Post by m_OO_m »

(1) take a clean Nagios xi install
(2) install NagVis using the script from http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... -Nagvis.sh
(3) you will not be able to apply configuration changes any more (Config - Apply Changes). No error is thrown, timestamp of the last change is shown correctly, but config files remain unchanged. It is still possible to write config files using Tools - Write Config Files.

Starting a re-test of this now - I'll let you know if I can confirm this.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce your issue. Odds are whatever you're experiencing isn't actually related to NagVis.

What operating system, OS version, architecture, and xi version are you working with?

xi is currently 1.3 E. We have started (one more time) from 1.3D VM-Image some days ago. Browsers are IE 8 (not used for configuration any more) and Firefox 3.6

This time, I installed NagVis on a separate machine, connected via ndomy. As we have noticed today, NagVis is for sure not to blame - the changes are not written any more as described above, although NagVis is not present.

We have taken a screen capture of this phenomenon -> s. attached.

I have tried to find out, if NagioSQL has a problem, but there is no specific log for it...

I'm afraid I can't view your attachment. Could you try creating is as an MPEG or Theora perhaps?

unfortunatly had to i compress it with 7zip, because boards only allows 2MB as an attachment ..

7zip can be downloaded here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z465.exe

regards,
