Hello @Interrex

Thanks for following up with the updated System Profile.

After review we see that there are permissions issues starting up services and want to through and repair sudo:
Please let us know how things look.

Thanks,

Hello @Interrex

Also wanted to add that we want to reset the 'nagios' User Account expiration date to "never".

Code: Select all

chage -I -1 -m 0 -M 99999 -E -1 nagios
Thanks,
Perry

Hi Perry.

Hello @Interrrex

As you can see, ndo module errors broadcast throughout the nagios.log and want to go ahead and downgrade to NDO2db.

### STANDARD DOWNGRADE OF NDO3

Code: Select all

systemctl stop nagios
cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/nagiosxi
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.6.14.tar.gz
tar zxf xi-5.6.14.tar.gz
cd /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils
./install
systemctl enable ndo2db
Then edit your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg and make sure this line is uncommented:

Code: Select all

broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg
Make sure this line is commented:

Code: Select all

#broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo.so /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo.cfg
Then start the nagios service:

Code: Select all

systemctl start nagios
Let us know how things look,
Perry

Hi Perry.

Looks like we are up and running again, the system has started to alert me and the checks are updated again! :)

Changed the config file as you said.

And before I started nagios I also did

Code: Select all

systemctl start ndo2db

I think I will let the server do all the checks and then verify tomorrow if everything looks as it should.

Do you want a new profile file or other logs from me ?

And the big question, what's the draw back with running ndo2db instead of ndo ?
Will I have similar problems on next upgrade, or should I do something to fix my installation?

Again, a big thanks to you @pbroste

Cheers

Post by pbroste »

Hello @Interrex

Thanks for following up, sounds like the database is syncing up, please let us know how things are looking and follow up with the updated System Profile.

The downgrade to ndo2db will provide an alternate solution if you see that the ndo-3 is not functioning correctly.

Thanks,
Perry
