Hi all,

Ubuntu 11.04 32bit Desktop edition
NDOUtils 1.4b9



Im trying to install NDOUtils so I can get Nagios writing its log files to MYSQL.

But im not having much luck.

I have followed the install guide to the letter: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/ndoutils/NDOUtils.pdf

When all said and done that fires out this entry in the nagios.log:

[1328283956] ndomod: NDOMOD 1.4b9 (10-27-2009) Copyright (c) 2009 Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors
[1328283956] ndomod: Could not open data sink! I'll keep trying, but some output may get lost...
[1328283956] Event broker module '/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod-3x.o' initialized successfully.
[1328283956] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=5771)



So did a bit of googling and then :-

Chmod 755 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db-3x
Chmod 755 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod-3x.o



Restarted the ndomod and nagios services/processes and got somewhere

[1328284715] Please check remote ndo2db log, database connection or SSL Parameters
[1328284715] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=13760)



So did a bit more googling and I then:-

Chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
Chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg
Chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios.etc.ndo*



Restarted the ndomod and nagios services/processes and got a bit further - No check log/db/parameters error

[1328285023] ndomod: Successfully connected to data sink. 2793 queued items to flush.

[1328285023] Finished daemonizing... (New PID=17107)



Then read to change the perms on the ndo.sock file, so:

Chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/var/ndo.sock


But still the same output:

[1328285748] ndomod: NDOMOD 1.4b9 (10-27-2009) Copyright (c) 2009 Nagios Core Development Team and Community Contributors
[1328285748] ndomod: Successfully connected to data sink. 957 queued items to flush.
[1328285748] ndomod: Error writing to data sink! Some output may get lost. 2374 queued items to flush

My 2 config files can be found here:

Ndomod.cfg - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/ndomod.cfg
Ndo2db.cfg - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/ndo2db.cfg


Can anybody please help me? This has to be permission related im sure of it but I cannot solve it.

Thankyou in advance
