Comment 1 Tomas Edwardsson 2014-06-17 16:15:21 UTC 
This would be great to have, I maintain a library called pynag which can reload the nagios process and without this I have to build extra logic into the library.

Being able to reload via systemctl I believe is "the right way".

Could you please comment on if this will be included?
Comment 2 Tomas Edwardsson 2014-07-01 10:54:29 UTC 
Any news on this?
Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 11:29:46 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 19:57:09 UTC 
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Comment 5 David Brown 2015-12-22 00:00:14 UTC 
I'd like to re-open this and give some feedback on how one could go about making a good reload for nagios under systemd....

The simplest answer is to add the following line to the service file

ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

However, systemd doesn't necessarily know that the reload was successful or not. The solution for that would be to write a script that sends the sighup and waits for appropriate output from the logs...

[1450742214] Caught SIGHUP, restarting...

for example.
Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2016-02-24 15:35:06 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 7 Lenz Grimmer 2016-03-14 13:21:56 UTC 
FWIW, this affects Nagios 4.0.8 as shipped on EPEL7 as well. Adding the "ExecReload" line to the service file fixes the issue. It would be nice if this trivial fix could be applied. Thanks!
Comment 8 David Brown 2016-04-09 18:24:56 UTC 
I agree, this really needs to be fixed anywhere systemd is used to manage the nagios service...
Comment 9 Lenz Grimmer 2016-10-04 15:42:15 UTC 
@Scott - would it be possible for you to resolve this? Thanks!
Comment 10 Lenz Grimmer 2016-12-13 12:27:28 UTC

This also affects our project, which uses "systemctl reload" (or "service reload") on all other distributions in order to trigger a configuration change.

See https://tracker.openattic.org/browse/OP-984 for details.

Any chance for this issue to be resolved? The fix is simple...
