Nagios Support Forum

We're having issues with a relatively new install of Nagios XI. The performance graphs via MRTG keep breaking, particularly after a reboot of the server. The Permissions for the /var/lib/mrtg keep going back to:

drwxr-x--- 2 mrtg mrtg 77824 Nov 7 10:41 mrtg

And all the files under the dir go into the same state. As the cron is setup to run under www-data:nagios, this then breaks & we've to reset permissions post the reboot. Has anyone got this working where you don't need manual fixes on the directory post a reboot?

Thanks.

Good morning joniMcGlade,

During the setup of MRTG on a Ubuntu OS there is a service that gets created that resets the permissions at boot. We do not use that service so you can disable it will the following command.

systemctl stop mrtg ; systemctl disable mrtg

A bug report has been filed.

Thank you, please reach out if there is anything else you need

Thanks Cody,

We'll implement this & test it out!

Appreciate the response.

Hey joniMcGlade, if you are still having this issue it has been fixed in an upcoming release that should be releasing relatively soon.

Thanks for the update, we've had no issues since the previous comment re stopping the service but good to hear re the fix!
