Hi all
Not sure if this really classifies as a bug or not. I am inclined to think it is.
In clientlocal.cfg, I have
[sunos]
file:/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/find /var/crash/ -type f 2> /dev/null
And this finds 2 files. /var/crash/bounds /var/crash/vmdump.0 So far so good.
However, /var/crash/ is a symlink to /var/share/crash/ And /var/share/crash has permissions or 700 So Xymon can determine there is a file, but cannot collect any metadata on the file, since it cannot stat the files in /var/share/crash/
In analysis.cfg I have this line (with appropriate HOST= value, of course) FILE %^/var/cores/.* NOEXIST red When I go to the "files" page, I see the file names there. Clicking on the file names, I get this info. [file:/var/crash/vmdump.0] ERROR: Permission denied
But no red status appears on the test. Testing, using a similar directory structure, where Xymon can stat the files, does give a red status.
I can understand that Xymon can't give any info on the file because of permissions, but in this case, all I care about is that the file exists, which Xymon has determined. That should trigger a red status.
Using Xymon 4.3.10
