ndoutils in nagios : Could not open data sink! I'll keep trying, but some output may get lost

hi.if you got problem of connecting ndoutils to nagios with that title type of error then you can do chmod to your config files.

[root@localhost etc]# chmod 666 ndo2db.cfg
[root@localhost etc]# chmod 666 ndomod.cfg

after that you can try to tail nagios log. I'm sure that it will not error again instead it will show as:

ndomod: Successfully connected to data sink

whoops..!! don't forget to give your ndouser permission in mysql

mysql> create user 'ndouser'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> grant all on nagios.* to 'ndouser'@'localhost' identified by 'ndopassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

goodluck :p
