Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I've installed Nagios core on Centos 7.3 and using NCPA for passive checks. NCPA is able to send the check results back to nrdp as long as I disabled SE Linux. But Once I enable the SE Linux it is unable to send the details and giving the below error.

SE Linux Enabled: Error as below

2018-08-31 14:58:14,946 108325 INFO Message from NRDP server: BAD CHECK RESULTS DIR

SE Linux Disabled: usual log below

Do we need to definitely disabled the SE Linux? It is project requirement to have SE Linux enabled, how can I resolve the issue?

Thanks,

Yes, you either need to disable selinux, or write a policy that will allow apache to have access to the check results directory

Thanks for your quick reply. Is there any Link to follow to write a policy that will allow apache to have access to the check results directory?

Thanks,
