Nagios XI 2014R1.1 No more SNMP Traps

[tmcdonald]

What OS are you running? If this post from December is any indication there might be issues with systems other than CentOS/RHEL.

Hi tmcdonald,
Below is the OS I'm running which seems to be the same distro + version as the other thread :/

Code: Select all

[root@NagiosXI nagios]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
[root@NagiosXI nagios]#

Hi Scott,
...
What I found scott is that when I stop nagios with "service nagios stop" nagios.cmd is not deleted

- Michael

It will only be deleted if it is the pipe that was created when it started.

I'm at a loss now as everytime I reboot or apply a change I'm going to manually need to create the file as every time the file gets created it's the wrong permissions "nagios nagcmd".

"nagios nagcmd" is the correct permissions!

Hi Scott,
I must a mistyped on my previous comment, every time I restart nagios it creates this cmd permissions

Code: Select all

[root@NagiosXI etc]# ll /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root nagcmd 726 Jun  4 23:03 /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
[root@NagiosXI etc]#

I had this same issue today with another customer. While I am not 100% sure why it is being created that way, the way we resolved it was:

Code: Select all

chown nagios:nagcmd /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd
service nagios restart

Upon restarting nagios, and through several apply configs this both recreated the file as a command pipe(which yours is not presently) and kept the proper permissions. The biggest issue right now is that nagios.cmd is not a command pipe, denoted by a p at the beginning of your permissions, having it owned as root:nagios should be just fine for all applications at this time.

Hi Spenser,
You sir are a genius , after "applying the configuration" 3 to 4 times it now writes the permissions properly without the need of my home made command . Maybe it was something to do with the upgrade from 2012 to 2014 who knows.

You may close this Thread as issue has been resolved.
