Access denied message while monitoring filesystems.

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hi Team,

We are trying to monitor concurrent file systems of remote host, but we are receiving access denied message refer the attached screenshot.

Whereas we are able to monitor other file systems of same host.

These concurrent file systems are accessible by nagios user on remote host but not accessible from our Nagios server, kindly refer the attached screenshot:

Does adding the following two lines to sudoers on the remote box fix the issue?

Code: Select all

Defaults:nagios !requiretty
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk *

What kind of system is this? Can you run the following commands on the remote machine, and show us the output?

Code: Select all

uname -a
cat /etc/*release

How did you install the Linux agent (NRPE + nagios plugins)? Did you follow the document below?

Hi Team,

I feel adding below lines to sudoers on remote box will not resolve the issue as we are able to monitor other file systems using same plugin check_disk, please find the attached snapshot:

Defaults:nagios !requiretty
nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk *

Please find the attached output of the cmds.

In the AIX server, can you run the following and post the output?

Code: Select all

ls -l /
ls -l /MQHA
grep nag /etc/group
ps -ef

Thanks

Hi Team,

Please find the attached outputs for specified commands.

On your remote server, can you add the nagios user to this group "mqbrkrs" in the /etc/group file?
Then test the command from the XI server and see if it works.

Hi Team,

We have tried the mentioned solution, but the issue still persists.

[tgriep]

I was hoping that was it.
Can you check these log files on the AIX server for any errors while you run that check from the Nagios system?

Code: Select all

/var/log/syslog 
/var/log/authlog
/var/adm/messages

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hi team,

I am not able to find the below mentioned paths neither in nagios server or remote host:
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/authlog

I found the below log, but is consists of no data:
/var/adm/messages

I am not familiar with where AIX stores it's logfiles so if you know where they are, take a look to see if are any errors that can help.
Let's try and set the SUID bit on the check_disk plugin and see if that works. Login to the AIX server as root and run the following.

Code: Select all

chmod ug+rws /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk

If this fails, please run the following commands and post the output.

Code: Select all

grep nagios /etc/sudoers
grep nag /etc/group
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/

Can you post the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg file?
Thanks
