Nagios Support Forum

Hello, I am running v5.6.3 on a 64-bit VM CentOS 7 server.

Right after upgrading from 5.6.2 to 5.6.3, I now see this warning in the apply configuration output:

touch: cannot touch ‘/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock’: Permission denied

The file, does not seem to exist, when I check for it:

[user@server ~]$ ls -al /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock
ls: cannot access /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock: No such file or directory

I believe I have NO operational problems.

Is this anything to be concerned about?

In a case where there was a similar warning and an operational problem, you wanted the output of some commands, here they are:

[user@server ~]$ ls -lad /usr/local/nagiosxi
drwxr-xr-x 10 root nagios 102 May 1 2018 /usr/local/nagiosxi

[user@server ~]$ ls -lad /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts
drwxr-xr-x 4 root nagios 4096 Jun 20 12:07 /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

[user@server ~]$ ls -la /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts

I believe this is a bug and it has been sent to our developers, however the lock by design is only there to limit simultaneous Apply configurations ans shouldn't have and harmful affects.

This should be fixed in a future release.

Hello,

OK, please lock the case.

Thanks!
