Nagios Core 3.2.0 NDO2DB 1.4b9 MySQL 5.0.17 Redhat AS4 U6 I have the dreaded "ndomod: Could not open data sink!" problem. Nagios itself is running happily, and I am trying to integrate Nagvis. These are my Nagios processes, and socket file nagios 29946 1 0 10:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg nagios 29990 1 0 10:50 ? 00:00:08 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg srwxrwx--- 1 nagios nagios 0 Feb 16 12:36 /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock No Nagios data is going through to the mysql Nagios tables though. They are all created, but none have been populated. I've gone through all the numerous other posts on this topic, but nothing has worked. I can write to my mysql d/b using the db_user/db_pass in ndo2db.cfg. This is from my Nagios log (coincidently, I can never get anything written to the ndo2db.debug file). [1266317457] ndomod: Could not open data sink! I'll keep trying, but some output may get lost... [1266317457] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o' initialized successfully. [1266321105] ndomod: Still unable to connect to data sink. 32292 items lost, 5000 queued items to flush. The ndo2db.cfg and nagios.cfg are below. Any help much appreciated.
