Nagios Support Forum

Hm-m, the permissions look right. It's very strange that you are getting this error: Can you post the output of the following command?

[root@nagiosxi nagiosxi]# grep nagios /etc/passwd
nagios20739:500::/home/nagios:/bin/bash

Actually the permissions in the /home/nagios directory are not correct...

Run Then lets try this again

Hi
chown -R nagios /home/nagios is done.

[root@nagiosxi nagiosxi]# su -l nagios -c '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl -H server -u user -p pwd -m checkcpu -w 80 -c 90'
UNKNOWN - Permission denied when trying to store the state data. Sometimes this happens if you have been testing the plugin from the command line as a different user to the Nagio process user. You will need to change the permissions on the file or remove it. The actual error text is: can't create /tmp/cwpss_checkcpu_wsapp29web___.state: Permission denied at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_wmi_plus.pl line 1710

But don't forget my problem is only visible in Nagiosxi GUI (running check_wmi_plus.pl works fine)

This is whenever the nagios user runs the command, the su command above displays that it is a permissions issue in /tmp or with the specific file in /tmp. Please run: and send us the resulting file /tmp/tmpfileperms.txt please.

Here it is

Could be because the file it is trying to write already exists? Try removing
from /tmp. This makes sense due to their being owned by root and the permissions.

Hi,
I did it and I still have my alert on CPU in nagiosxi (whereas running check_wmi_plus returns no alert).

What performance data does the service have in the web interface? Click the service name then go to the Advanced tab a post a screenshot. I am interested to see what it thinks the CPU is.

Hi,
Here is the screenshot.
Still have the problem on 3 servers (always the same).
I add this is not specific to 2012 servers.

Rgds,
