Latest nagios plugins rpm ships with checks that can't run

[dmurrell]

A bunch of my servers auto updated to this package this morning: nagiosxi-nagiosplugins-5.6.2-1.el7.x86_64, and the almost all of the checks have lost their execute bit.

The /usr/local/nagios/libexec install dir looks like this:

Code: Select all

[root@broken-server ~]# ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/|head
total 11248
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios 210400 May 17 09:07 check_apt

The upstream rpm file originates from here: https://repo.nagios.com/nagios/7/nagios ... x86_64.rpm

A server I downgraded the plugins to the package nagiosxi-nagiosplugins-5.6.1-1.el7.x86_64 on looks like this:

Code: Select all

[root@working-server libexec]#  ls -l /usr/local/nagios/libexec/|head

We execute the plugins remotely from NagiosXI via ncpa, and ncpa won't exec the plugins, so now I have 80 alerts to deal with. It would be quite a bit higher, but not everything auto updates, and we use ncpa's internal where we can.

Here's the output of the rpm command showing the chmod entries set on install:

Can someone please fix the rpm ASAP?

As an aside, as a paying customer, I really do expect a duty of care that's absent with this update, given the considerable amount we're spending on the NagiosXI product.

Thanks for pointing this out!

The dev's looked into it and have released a new version that should resolve the issue.

Appreciate the quick turnaround
