Bug 72271 – Nagios problem with USE=mysql and obsess_over_services

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Eric Brown 2004-11-23 11:07:17 UTC]

I don't know what the problem is exactly, but I've been looking at it for days, i think it has to do with mysql support, or that xrddb stuff..

Here's the setup:
I have 2 machines running nagios, but on one machine, obsess_over_services doesn't work (ocsd_command..).  I tried swapping configs between the boxes, but that doesn't fix the problem, so I think it might actually be a bug somewhere in the nagios source..

I was playing with it, and i found out that if i build it with USE=-mysql on the problematic host, it suddenly works..  However, the doozy is that it works with USE=mysql on the other host already (this is nagios-core btw), so I am not sure what the problem is.. both have identical mysql configurations, and I can login to the nagios db on both machines.. I was thinking it could be related to mysq functionality, but I'm really note sure now..

Can anyone else verify this problem?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nagios-core
2. try to use obsess_over_services=1 and an ocsd_command (that points to something in misccommands.cfg, and just doed like echo "fubar" >> /var/nagios/somefile
3.  notice how it doesn't work perhaps.. then try to re-emerge with USE=-mysql

sounds and smells like a config problem to me.
try building nagios with debug and follow the messages.

[Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2005-01-25 00:08:17 UTC]

please attach debug info here and reopen.

[Comment 3 Eric Brown 2005-01-25 18:07:33 UTC]

I don't even have that machine/setup anymore.  We moved to Nagios 2.0 at that company and haven't had any problems since then.
