NPC / NDO2DB problem

[thedavidfactor]

I've read all the forum posts I can find and nothing's helped.

I can't get around these errors:
[1266013044] ndomod: NDOMOD 1.4b9 (10-27-2009) Copyright (c) 2009 Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors
[1266013044] ndomod: Could not open data sink! I'll keep trying, but some output may get lost...
[1266013044] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o' initialized successfully.

I've got debug turned on and while a nd02db.debug file gets created, it's a zero length file.
I've tried both unix sockets and tcp sockets, here's the current config:
ndo2db.cfg

Code: Select all

Any help would be greatly appriciated!!!

Which OS are you working on?

I ran into the same problem, running cacti and Nagios on Ubuntu. I finally got it like this:

* fetching the credentials not from include/global.php but from /etc/cacti/debian.php, as mentioned in include/config.php.

Worked for me.

now I'm wondering, why the data in the db idn't shown in npc, but thats another story

[coolzsb]

please use NDOMOD 1.4b7 ,not NDOMOD 1.4b9

because the database structure of NDOMOD 1.4b9 isn‘t same as NDOMOD 1.4b7

Everyone keeps saying not to use this version. How come?

I have the same problem using NPC with FAN distro (Fully automated Nagios).
It came with ndoutils 1.4b8 (nagios-ndoutils-1.4-fan.18.i386.rpm) and I spent days trying to populate npc tables.

Then I decided to downgrade to nagios-ndoutils-1.4-fan.13.i386.rpm which uses 1.4b7 and then it worked.

Problem is that server is not connected to the net and I couldn't use yum.
So I had to use the dirty rpm --nodeps option (Rock and roll )

I hope all will continue working.

Anyway, thanks for the plugin and the info on the forum.

Cheers from Belgium.
