Hello,

I've setup an iSCSI Target on my Synology NAS and I've successfully connected to it on my Nagios Log Server via iscsiadm. The disk block has been formatted, it has a filesystem and I've mounted it to /mnt/iSCSI as can be seen below:

As you can see above, I've set up the correct folder permissions using the following commands:
chown -R nagios:nagios /mnt/iSCSI
chmod -R 775 /mnt/iSCSI

However, when trying to create the repository like so:

I get the following error:

The snapshot repository in directory /mnt/iSCSI could not be created. Possibly due to permissions. Make sure the nagios user can write to the location.

EDIT: I've also tried to enter e.g. /mnt/iSCSI/DATA to see if it would work, but to no avail.

Please PM me a profile from the system. It can be gathered under Admin > System > System Status > Download System Profile or from the command line with:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/profile.sh

This will create /tmp/system-profile.tar.gz.

Note that this file can be very large and may not be able to be uploaded through the system. This is usually due to the logs in the Logstash and/or Elasticsearch directories found in it. If it is too large, please open the profile, extract these directories/files and send them separately.

That's showing the user as 775 and the group as nagios, run these again and send the output:

Code: Select all

chown -R nagios:nagios /mnt/iSCSI
chmod -R 775 /mnt/iSCSI
ls -ld /mnt/iSCSI

That seems to have done the trick. I was now able to create the repository!

Using the server's command history, I was able to see that I had previously entered these commands:

Code: Select all

chown -R nagios:nagios /mnt/iSCSI
 chown -R 775 /mnt/iSCSI

I don't quite understand how it is now working... Thanks anyway!

Glad to hear it is resolved!
