Nagios Support Forum

All,

I am unable to use the Capacity Planning Component of Nagios XI. Below is the error obtained from /var/log/httpd/error_log.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/capacityplanning/backend/capacityplanning.py", line 25, in <module>
filemode='a')
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1529, in basicConfig
hdlr = FileHandler(filename, mode)
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 902, in __init__
StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open())
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 925, in _open
stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/capacityplanning.log'

FIle /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/components/capacityplanning.log' has adequate permissions ownership nagios:nagios and the permissions I changed to RWXRWXRWX.

Any ideas of why this is?

Thank you,

Do you have selinux/fapolicyd/using ACLs or any other security software enabled?
What OS/version is it running?
What are the permissions of the parent directories? Send the output of these commands:

sestatus
SELinux status: disabled

systemctl status fapolicyd
Unit fapolicyd.service could not be found.

mount | grep acl

What are the output of these commands?
Is your OS level SSH login AD or LDAP integrated? (Not the XI login, the backend OS level authentication)

nagcmd1001:nagios,apache

grep "User \|Group " /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Hi HIINNS,

Have you tried changing the owner of the file to apache ?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Wow, that was a simple fix. Thank you for your help. Please feel free to close out the case.

Glad that resolved the issue - we'll lock the thread.

Thanks and Best Regards,
