Error when trying to Monitor TomCat6

[PCrossan]

Hi All,

We now have Nagios setup in our environment

Unfortunately we have 1 issue at the moment, when monitoring TomCat6 we receive the following error "You need root privileges to run this script"

We do not want to give the Nagios account root permissions - Does anyone know why it requires root permissions for this check?

thanks for your help

If it is an executable just make sure that the user account can execute it, in most cases a simple:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/local/nagios/libexec/custompluginnamehere

Will do the trick, or wherever you have the plugin located. Also, welcome to the community!
