http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1003362 Bug ID: 1003362 Summary: server:monitoring/nagios: Bug Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software Assignee: lars.vogdt@suse.com Reporter: ian.mcconnell@denbridgemarine.com QA Contact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com CC: nix@opensuse.org Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 696185 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=696185&action=edit Fix permissions on command files. nagios creates the following files with the wrong permissions: # ls -l /var/spool/nagios/ srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct 6 13:47 live prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct 6 13:47 nagios.cmd For nagvis to access them, they need to be in group "nagcmd" srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Oct 6 13:47 live prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Oct 6 13:47 nagios.cmd Since "nagios.cmd" is a named pipe, the permission can be changed once to correct it, but "live" needs changing each time "nagios" is run. The following lines in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg set these files: command_file=/var/spool/nagios/nagios.cmd broker_module=/usr/lib/check_mk/livestatus-nagios4.o /var/spool/nagios/live I noticed that the file "/usr/lib/nagios/nagios-exec-start-pre" tried to set these permissions by setting the variable nagios_cmdgrp. nagios_cmdgrp="$(get_var nagios_cmdgrp)" but nagois_cmdgrp isn't in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg. It can't be added as nagios complains about an unknown definition and won't start. Also the line : ${nagios_cmdgrp:-nagcmd} doesn't seem to work for me when /bin/sh is linked to bash /bin/sh --version GNU bash, version 4.2.47(1)-release (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) nagios_cmdgrp="" echo $nagios_cmdgrp : ${nagios_cmdgrp:-nagcmd} echo $nagios_cmdgrp : ${nagios_cmdgrp:=nagcmd} echo $nagios_cmdgrp nagcmd nagios_cmdgrp="xxxx" : ${nagios_cmdgrp:=nagcmd} echo $nagios_cmdgrp xxxx Unfortunately changing : ${nagios_cmdgrp:-nagcmd} to : ${nagios_cmdgrp:=nagcmd} doesn't fix the permissions on the command files # ls -l /var/spool/nagios/ srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct 6 14:16 live prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct 6 14:16 nagios.cmd as these are created after the process "nagios" starts. A workaround is to add the line ExecStartPost=/usr/lib/nagios/nagios-exec-start-post to nagios.service. I have attached the nagios-exec-start-post script. This works with # systemctl start nagios.service # systemctl restart nagios.service but for # systemctl reload nagios.service I get the wrong permissions: # ls -l /var/spool/nagios/ srw-rw---- 1 nagios nagios 0 Oct 6 14:23 live prw-rw---- 1 nagios nagcmd 0 Oct 6 14:16 nagios.cmd These are the nagios packages I installed: nagios-4.2.1-1.1.x86_64 nagios-www-4.2.1-1.1.x86_64 nagios-www-dch-4.2.1-1.1.x86_64 pnp4nagios-0.6.25-6.24.x86_64 pnp4nagios-nagios-0.6.25-6.24.x86_64 nagvis-1.8.5-3.1.noarch mk-livestatus-1.2.8p11-3.2.x86_64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
