Help with Nagios Looking Glass

[Andy Shellam]

Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble!
The error you're getting means that NLG cannot find (or read) all of the 
files it needs to determine that Nagios is running, and for it to read 
it's status information from.

The files it looks for are:

- comments.dat
- downtime.dat (not currently used but it still checks it anyway)
- objects.cache
- status.dat

It looks for them by default in /usr/local/nagios/var.
Someone on the list has noticed before that their "status.dat" file was 
actually "status.log", in which case symlinking status.dat to status.log 
did the trick.

Please check these files exist and are readable by your webserver user.
If you believe they're all intact, please reply back with the following:

- the output of "ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var" (change the path to 
Nagios' var directory if different)
- the result of "head /usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat" (run as your 
webserver user, change the path to Nagios' var directory if different)
- the value of the ServerNagiosFiles and ServerNagiosFeed settings from 
your "nlg/server/s3_client.inc.php" config file

Regards,

Andy.
