I am using nagios 2.8 on a RedHat EL 4.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I have connected ndomod and ndo2db-2x via socket, and everything -seems- fine. There are no errors in the logfiles, and, in the database, I get nagios_conninfo entries for the connection...but nothing else.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I used socketdebug to see what information was being sent over the socket, and this is the output:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -----------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> server:/usr/local/nagios/var$ sudo -u nagios ../bin/sockdebug ./ndo.sock<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> HELLO<o:p></o:p> PROTOCOL: 2<o:p></o:p> AGENT: NDOMOD<o:p></o:p> AGENTVERSION: 1.4b2<o:p></o:p> STARTTIME: 1176480042<o:p></o:p> DISPOSITION: REALTIME<o:p></o:p> CONNECTION: UNIXSOCKET<o:p></o:p> CONNECTTYPE: INITIAL<o:p></o:p> INSTANCENAME: default<o:p></o:p> STARTDATADUMP<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> -----------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> And that's it. No more information is ever communicated over the socket. NDOMOD gives no error messages, no log entries are made, nothing. I have no idea what is happening at this point.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Nagios continues to write status information to the regular files on the drive as if ndomod were not running. If anyone could give me a hand with this, I would appreciate it greatly.
