Hi,

 

I’ve recently installed a mediawiki server and configured in the Centreon settings.

But when I look in the cron logs I can see :

root@STR-PRD-L-CEN01:~# tail /var/log/centreon/knowledgebase.log
Wiki is not configured. You can disable cron in /etc/cron.d/centreon for wiki synchronization.
Wiki is not configured. You can disable cron in /etc/cron.d/centreon for wiki synchronization.

In the database, I can see the rights settings :

MariaDB [centreon]> SELECT * FROM options WHERE options.key LIKE 'kb_wiki%';
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| key                 | value                                      |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| kb_wiki_password    | ****************                    |
| kb_wiki_url         | https://centreon.********/mediawiki/ |
| kb_wiki_account     | centreon                                   |
| kb_wiki_certificate | 1    

 

So, I have an issue with the links synchronisation between the Centreon server and the Mediawiki.

 

Please , someone could help me to solve the issue?

(I’ve already tried to restart the services).

Centreon version : 24.10.16

HI ​@Romain P. can you execute the following SQL request please:

SELECT * FROM `options` WHERE options.key LIKE 'kb_%'

Hi,

It seems that the table options doesn’t exist: 

MariaDB [mediawiki]> SELECT * FROM `options` WHERE options.key LIKE 'kb_%'
    -> ;
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'mediawiki.options' doesn't exist

Hi,

With the last Centreon update, it seems better but I don’t understand how it supposed to works.

I’ve created the page Service-Template_:_Base-Ping-LAN-custom but all ping services are pointing to Service_:_DEVICENAME_/_Ping_WAN2_-_ISP instead of Base-Ping-LAN-custom.

the template used for theses service is :  Base-Ping-LAN-custom -> Base-Ping-LAN -> generic-active-service-custom -> generic-active-service

Hi ​@Romain P. , you need to use Configuration > Knowledge Base > Hosts (or Services, Host Templates, Service Templates) menus.

If you create a wiki page from a template, all resources that inherit from it will have access to that page.

If you create a wiki page from a resource, it will replace the template's page.
