rrdcached service fails to start

Hi forum

I noticed today that graphing is not working on our Nagios XI server. When i try to start to service i get the following error...

Code: Select all

Starting rrdcached: Must specify a writable directory with -j! (Permission denied)
It then fails to start..

I know it is a permissions thing on the CebntOS VM, guessing it is trying to create a .lock file for something similar. Our Nagios XI install is standard, running the latest version of XI but we have a Gearman setup and an older PostgreSQL DB on the back end.

Can you please tell which folder needs it permissions changed?

Sorted

Code: Select all

chown nagios:nagios rrdcache
Inside the correct folder

But I have no idea why it has changed all of a sudden!
