Looks like the nagios user cannot see the file

On the server nagios-client ip

Can you show the output of the following

Code: Select all

su nagios
ls -l /dir/dir/dir/logs/log.log

-rw-rw---- 1 appuser appuser 678K Sep 10 17:47 /dir/sir/dir/logs/access.log

Ok this means that the nagios user doesn't have access to see the file

Code: Select all

-rw-rw---- 1 appuser appuser 

You need to change the permissions somehow to allow access, either by adding access directly or adding the nagios user to the appuser group

when i changed permission to 777 for it is working, but as per security reasons we can not change to 777 permission

[scottwilkerson]

We are going to make sure the nagios user has access to look in the directories

Can you show the results of the following

Code: Select all

ls -ld /dir/dir/dir/logs
ls -ld /dir/dir/dir
ls -ld /dir/dir
ls -ld /dir

Also, can we verify that nrpe is running as the nagios user

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep nrpe

Please find the directory details.

drwxrwx--- 2 appuser appuser /dir/dir/dir/logs
drwxrwx--- 5 appuser appuser /dir/dir/dir
drwxrwxrwx 25 appuser appuser /dir/dir
drwxrwxrwx 12 appuser appuser /dir

NRPE is running in xinetd.

netstat -anltp |grep 5666
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5666 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21221/xinetd

NRPE is running in xinetd.

netstat -anltp |grep 5666
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5666 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21221/xinetd

then we will need to see the user from xinetd config

Code: Select all

grep user /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe

[[email protected]]

grep user /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
user = nagios

[scottwilkerson]

grep user /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
user = nagios

Ok, one more check

Code: Select all

grep nagios /etc/group
