Error: Cannot open log file '/opt/nagios/var/archives/nagios-01-14-2015-00.log' for reading!

All other log files archived cannot be read from the Web UI.

Permissions for the directory and files are -rw-r--r--

The owner of the files and directory is nagios:nagios

Please advise of where / how to troubleshoot.

Thank you

What OS are you using ?

How did you install Nagios ?

Could you share your nagios.conf file ?

Where did you get this error ?

==>brian.

RHEL

It is a legacy install inherited from previous admins.

The error shows in the Web browser interface when trying to view the archived nagios log files.

If you browse to Alerts -> History and then choose and earlier archive at the top navigation the error appears for any previous dates.

The current day shows just fine.

Just out of curiosity, can you post the output of: I would like to make sure it exists. I have seen a handful of installs that stamped the file names differently than what nagios was expecting.
Also, is nagios is the apache group and vice versa?

Hi ,

We are unable to fetch the alert history for the hosts or service for the previous days from Nagios core web interface. But logs are available in under /usr/local/nagios/var/archives.PFA for screen shot and help me on this issue. Please let us know,if you need further information

system details:

Nagios version : nagios core 3.5

operating systems :centos6.6

Thanks in advance for your support.

1) new thread please, your problem is unrelated to the OP's problem as far as I can tell (I'm going to lock this one)
2) Are you sure you even have notifications to be viewed? `grep NOTIFICATION nagios.log`
