I removed the check_snmp folder and ran the command again, but it did not recreate the folder and returned the segmentation fault again. I ran the 'test check command' again and it completed successfully, creating the folder and a file. (I think the earlier file had been deleted as part of troubleshooting several days ago, hence the previously empty directory. Sorry for the confusion.)

Here are the folder permissions after it was created by the 'test check command':

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/
total 22520
drwxrwxr-x. 7 nagios nagios    4096 Jul  6 17:19 .
drwxr-xr-x. 9 root   root      4096 Apr 23  2015 ..
drwx------  2 apache apache    4096 Jul  6 17:13 check_snmp

And here are the permission on the check_snmp plugin:

Code: Select all

ls -al /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp
-rwsrwxr-x. 1 apache nagios 251289 Apr 23  2015 /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp

This is really strange, as when you run as the root / nagios user it should have sufficient permissions to create the folder. I'm baffled why apache is able to without any problems.

What version of the plugin are you running? ./check_snmp -V?

Posted: **Wed Jul 06, 2016 4:40 pm**

check_snmp v2.0.3 (nagios-plugins 2.0.3)

A coworker noticed this, your x bit is actually set to 's'. This will affect how check_snmp functions. You'll want to fix the permissions accordingly. Here's the permissions on my check_snmp file -

Code: Select all

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 apache nagios 255972 Mar 29 09:59 check_snmp

Additionally, do you have SELinux running on the machine currently? getenforce

I had to also delete the var/check_snmp/ directory again to force recreation with correct permissions, but it appears to be working now.

Here are the current, working permissions:

Plugin:
ls -l | grep check_snmp$
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 apache nagios 251289 Apr 23 2015 check_snmp

Directory:
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var
drwx------ 2 nagios users 4096 Jul 7 13:24 check_snmp

Thanks a lot for the assistance!

Awesome, I forgot about re-creating the directory (since that would have been issues down the road), so nice catch!

Are we good to mark this one as resolved?

Yep, we're good to call it resolved.

Thanks again!
