Hello,

Can you help me please.

Why i'm getting this error.

CRITICAL - (1 errors) - cannot write status file /tmp/check_logfiles/check_logfiles._var_log_syslog.out.messages! check your filesystem (permissions/usage/integrity) and disk devices
tag messages CRITICAL
cannot write status file /tmp/check_logfiles/check_logfiles._var_log_syslog.out.messages! check your filesystem (permissions/usage/integrity) and disk devices


--------------------------

star21:/tmp#ls -l

drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 256 Dec 16 16:36 check_logfiles

Can you please clarify what you're attempting to do? Are you following a set of instructions from somewhere?

i am using AIX Log Files check

$ check_nrpe -H 'star21 -n -u -t 60 -c check_aix_logfiles -a '-f /opt/nagios/libexec/check_logfiles.cfg'

I'm not sure how this plugin works exactly, can you create a check_logfiles folder and assign the appropriate permissions?

ofcourse i did it

--------------------------

star21:/tmp#ls -l

drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 256 Dec 16 16:36 check_logfiles

Was the plugin able to write to that directory after it was created?

no still i am getting same error.

Can you send us a link to where you found the plugin? I would like to review it.
