Apache is probably not executing php files properly. Make sure the apache modules are enabled. Screenshots of error: Firefox (something probably cached from before)

Chrome fresh navigation to page Run:

When accessing graphs in url nagiosdomain.com/nagiosgraph/cgi-bin/showhost.cgi?host=localhost you get an error

JavaScript is disabled.
nagiosgraph.js is not installed or wrong version.

The issue could be in rrd filename (/usr/local/nagiosgraph/var/rrd) encoding the '“' character as ”%22“ which confuses javascript. Example of filename

Check%20www.karl.com___%7C%20isAlreadySelected%28panel%2C%20selectedValue%29%3B%5Cn%20%20%7D%22%20on%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.karl.com%2Fde%2Fmantel_cod59141927re.html%20%7CRAUVX.rrd

Simply remove the offending file and reload nagios.

• nagios 4.2.2
• nagiosgraph 1.5.2
• Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

Make sure you are using an up to date nrpe plugins.

• Debian 10 (after upgrade from Debian 9)

Add to check_if_traffic -g2 flag:

check_if_traffic!22!localhost!public!eth0!0,50000!0,75000!-Y -B -k -g2 --label

For example if changing whether or not notifications will be sent, nagios by default remembers state even after restart, so for notifications you will need to change it manually in /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat.

You could also remove this file (but first stop nagios and make a backup!) which will force reread of all configs and schedule the check for all hosts and services, so make sure you want this.
