The nagios part just tells it to run as the nagios user. A couple things, what happens if you run su nagios and execute the jobs / poller? What is the output of ls -al /home/nagios?

/home/nagios does not exist! but the command seems to run ok:

Thanks a lot. It seems the missing hoemedir is the issue indeed.

Create diot and alerts seem to run fine now!

Awesome! Is it alright if we close this thread and mark the issue as resolved?

Posted: **Thu Nov 17, 2016 10:54 am**

Yup. Appreciate the help.

Will do - I saw something similar happen last week, glad that was it.
