Hi,

If you're able to still retrieve the whole install.log the would be very helpful.

A few things to check.

1. What operating system are you installing Nagios xi on and is it a newly installed, minimal distribution?

2. Make sure you're installing as root

3. Is SELinux enabled?

Code: Select all

getenforce

Hi,

What distribution is it ( Cent / RHEL / Ubuntu )? The install log should be in the tmp directory.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/
If you can't find it, try searching for it with the following command.

Code: Select all

find / -name install.log

Hi,

The sudoers files looks to be ok. Let's check the nagios user account on this system. Please post the output to the following command.

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios
Now that it's up and running, can you send me the system profile as well (instructions below). Thanks, Benjamin

To send us your system profile.
Login to the Nagios xi GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button
Save the profile.zip file and share in a private message or upload it to the post/ticket, and then reply to this post to bring it up in the queue.
