Adding an IBM i host

Post by Nagios_IBMi »

Hi,

I installed Nagios XI and trying to add an IBM i Node for the monitoring. When I try to do it. I get the following error.

Register profile error:
java.io.IOException: Permission denied
java.io.UnixFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:1012)
com.ibm.nagios.config.HostConfig.load(HostConfig.java:179)
com.ibm.nagios.config.HostConfig.Insert(HostConfig.java:126)
com.ibm.nagios.config.HostConfig.main(HostConfig.java:60)
Insert host failed

I log in to Nagios and select Configure option - > Configuration Wizard -> search for IBM i and provided the IP address of my host. And selected some of the options to monitor and add. I also provide the credential to authenticate to the host.

Let me know if I missed a step.

Thanks,

Please run this tail command (and leave it running):

Code: Select all

tail -Fn0 /var/log/messages /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log
The replicate the issue again and see if we get any relevant errors.

It looks like it's a permissions issue, we need to find out where that is.
