Create Repository ?

Post by DUlrich1227 »

Hello, I am trying to create a repository in the Web GUI. After giving it a name and adding the path, It disappears when I hit Add Repository, no error or anything ..

A few tech details -
I am using win server 2008R2
I tried a standard window share path
I tried a NFS share from windows with anonymous access etc ..

Can you verify from the terminal that the nagios user can mount, read, and write to this share? Generally it won't add if there's an issue with the repository. I'll submit a request to get some better error messages on this process.

Do you have access to a linux terminal for your Nagios Log Server installation?

Inside of the terminal, log in to the nagios user (using the su nagios command)
Switch to the directory in which you have your backup repository mounted(mount | column -t might help)
Try to write and delete a file in this directory.
