Getting nowhere
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2020 8:08 pm
Rpi, NEMS Version 1.5.2 I have no idea how to find out what the build is.
I downloaded and flashed nems a few days ago. I've been following the instructions on odroid. I finally got the init script to complete after reflashing. After struggling with it for a day I still could not get email notifications to work. I tried three different mail systems. I tried everything that I could understand in the troubleshooting PHP mailer Problems (which wasn't much becauseI don't even know how to spell PHP). So I gave up on that and tried to add my first host linux host. I followed the given instructions precisely but when I try to "generate Nagios config" I get a deployment not possible error:
Website: https://www.nagios.org
Reading configuration data...
Read main config file okay...
Error: Invalid max_check_attempts value for host 'ns'
Error: Could not register host (config file '/var/www/html/nconf/temp/Default_collector/hosts.cfg', starting on line 16)
Error processing object config files!
As far as I know I never touched that config file.
I have tried multiple flash disks and even tried the distribution on another pi unit. I googled what might be causing that error but nothing applied. I'm not stranger to issues with open source but I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong and why this is so difficult.
Is there a better site where I can be given detailed step-by-step instructions on how to get this going along with decipherable instructions on what to do when things go wrong? I am not a programmer the last program I wrote was in fortran. I noticed there is paid support, can they do anything for me at this most basic level?
Thanks.
