Icinga, probably the best known Nagios fork, and it's database connector ido2db sometimes don't come up correctly, especially after a "sudden death" like a from a power outage or an unsafe virtual server stop.

These steps should alway bring them up again:

/etc/init.d/icinga stop
/etc/init.d/ido2db stop
 
rm -fv /var/lib/icinga/ido.sock /var/lib/icinga/idomod.tmp
 
/etc/init.d/ido2db start
sleep 5
/etc/init.d/icinga start
