Nagios Support Forum

Comment out the following lines: With pound signs: Restart nagios:

Hello,

This is already commented out in nagios configuration

[root@localhost nagios]# cat nagios.cfg | grep "service_perfdata\|host_perfdata"
# host_perfdata_command (defined below) and service performance
# data will be processed using the service_perfdata_command (also
host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

They are not commented out, as they do not have a pound sign at the beginning of the lines . . . .

Hello,

Commented the lines in Nagios configuration file and reloaded the Nagios service. Still getting same error.

Thanks,
Imran Khan.

I'm not sure what the encryptfs group is, but the current issue is that apache is generally a part of the nagios or nagcmd group so that it has access to these files, in this case I highly doubt it is a part of this group and therefore does not have permission to access the xml and rrd files.
