Fwd: Problem with availability report

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Hi Pablo,

 

Yes, it looks as if your Nagios user does not have permissions to write to /var/log/nagios2/archives.

 

Do "chown nagios:adm /var/log/nagios2/archives", then when your logs are rotated, you should get the old logs moved inside your archives directory, and you'll be able to run historical reports.  

 

What you'll probably find is that currently, the reports are only picking up the current day's data (as you only have today's log file.)

 

Andy.

Is possible it happens by file system rights ?

XXXXXXXHOST:/etc/nagios2/conf.d# ll /var/log/nagios2/
total 13552
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root     4096 2007-03-04 20:56 archives
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios adm  13850632 2007-09-03 19:11 nagios.log

Br,

Hi Andy,
          I opened and it says the current log file is: /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log, so I on latest archive and it says the following: Error: Could not open log file '/var/log/nagios2/archives/nagios-09-03-2007-00.log ' for reading!
          Wen i see inside /var/log/nagios2/archives there are no file inside. 
Do you know how i can fix it?

My /etc/nagios2/nagios.cfg has log_rotation_method=d, but there is only /var/log/nagios2/nagios.log on my filesystem. 



Thanks !

Hi Pablo,

 

What does the report class the "Indeterminate" data as?  (Insufficient data or Nagios not running?)

 

If it says "Insufficient data," I'd hazard a guess that your last month's log files aren't where Nagios expects them to be, perhaps they've been archived or zipped by a log rotation program, but that's just a guess.

 

If you browse to your "Event Log" in Nagios, near the the top, it should say "File:" and the path to a file.  That's the current log file.  Look in that file's directory on your system and see if there are any other files with last month's dates in.

 

Andy.

I re send it because the confirmation of my register arrives after I sent the email

Hi all,
    I have installed nagios on Debian, I have 2 installation and I have the same problem on both: 
*When I try to take a report from the last month every host appears with undetermined state to %100, but if I try to take a report of this month everything works well. 

Do you know something about this?, I searched on google but I don't know how I can fix it.

Br,
