Hello
I have a PDC (dc1.local.intranet IP:10.0.0.1) and a Memberserver (srv1.local.intranet IP:10.0.0.5).
I have Nagios App installed on Memberserver.
Unfortunetly I cant install Nagios on dc1 or srv1. Instalation process says that all is OK but nagios service doesn’t start.
Please help to debug and fix.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
on the master server:
dpkg -l| grep nagios
ps ax | grep nrpe
Is the server enabled (through UMC) for Nagios?
/CV
Problems on srv1:
Something went much worse…
On srv1 I tried to clear nagios files so I changed name of nagios folder to nagios_TMP, then I uninstalled nagios and then install it again. I thought it will create all files again and if problem was with those files it will fix something. But no. Now on srv1 nagios-nrpe-server service is stopped and cant be started. Tried to backup nagios folder and tried to install nagios again but it ends with error.
When I try to start service manually:
sudo service nagios-nrpe-server status
i get that info:
Administrator@srv1:~$ sudo journalctl -xe`

EDIT : Error above is fixed.
I checked files and permissions to them. Service nagios-nrpe-server seems to work properly:

Still trying… and fighting 
Ok, there is some progress.
After fix services nagios-nrpe-server (post above) I tried install Nagios again. As expected there was an error with nagios service and service did not run:
Administrator@srv1:~$ sudo service nagios restart
Job for nagios.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status nagios.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.

For some reason permissions were 700 instead of 755 for /etc/nagios.conf.univention/, so I fixed it manually.
I restarted nagios service and all semmed to be ok:

There is also an issue that there is dc1 with nagios support checked on UCM but in Nagios Core it is visible as host but there are not any services active on it.
Hi,
Are you sure the firewall rules are set correctly on your srv1? To allow nrpe connections? Usually they are set automatically, but who knows? And is nrpe really running?
root@srv1:~# ucr search --brief packetfilter
root@srv1:~# ps ax | grep nrpe
/CV
It looks like all is ok.
Administrator@srv1:~$ sudo ucr search --brief packetfilter

I think, maybe it can be a problem that in my /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg is:
allowed_hosts=dc1.local.intranet
where my Nagios is installed on srv1.local.intranet?
I changed in nrpe.cfg to allowed_hosts=srv1.local.intranet and Nagios started to work.
When I was thinking why i had those problems I remember that I deleted my Memberserver on PDC using Computers tab in UMC while there was a Nagios installed on it. After that installation processes doesn’t fix all and Nagios wasn’t work. I will remember that manuall delete Memberserver wasn’t a good idea.
EDIT:
After server restarts my line in nagios.cfg is
allowed_hosts=dc1.local.intranet
again and errors appears again.
Any way to fix it pernamently?
Kind Regards,
LK
