Export CSV from performance chart

This may be an easy one but I am running into an issue exporting a performance chart into a CSV. When I attempt it I am seeing the message:

Couldn't create temporary file. Check that the directory permissions for the /tmp directory are set to 777.

When I check the /tmp directory it is set to 777 and testing shows that the Nagios user has full permission. I can't find anything in the forums of a similar issue and my Google is failing me. I am thinking I am missing something simple but any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure it says tmp and not temp? A screenshot would be definitive.

Hm, all that looks good in terms of permissions. Why you have all those check results in there seems suspect. Can you please upload the file(s):
/var/log/httpd/*error_log

I am sorry to have wasted your time, I finally got a maintenance window to upgrade and the issue was resolved. Thank you for your time! 5.3.2 -> 5.4.3
