One site in distributed monitoring fails with 'site_id' is missing

[Philippe_Berard (Philippe Bérard)]

Hello all,

In cmk_raw 2.0.0p15 on all my sites, I have one main monitoring site which connects to 3 other ones.

• 1 of them doesn’t use replication, and is OK
• 1 of the uses replication, and is OK
• The other uses also replication, but fails at synchronisation with a “site_id” is missing.

I’ve tried twice to rename the distant site or to recreate the site from scratch, to no avail.

The site ID and alias are both given by my configuration.

Here is the trace :

Started at: 16:23:59. Finished at: 16:23:59.
Got invalid data:
Internal automation error: The parameter "site_id" is missing.

    raise MKUserError(varname, _("The parameter \"%s\" is missing.") % varname)
cmk.gui.exceptions.MKUserError: The parameter "site_id" is missing.

Thanks in advance for your return, and have a nice day !

site_id

Maybe this helps: 1.6.0p27.cre: site rename still have old site name - #2 by kdeutsch
Be careful on the command line though.

Hello Robin.

This doesn’t seem to be related, as the values in sites.mk are OK.
If I delete the connection, the connection disappears fine in the UI and in the sites.mk file.

BTW, the error is raised on the client side : in the web.log, I can find these error lines on each synchronization attempt :

We’ve found the problem. The website was accessed through 1 Nginx redirecting to an Apache redirecting to the OMD Apache. We’ve removed the extra Apache and everything works OK now.
