Hi.
I recently noticed I'm not able to view the history log file via the web interface. I can see that when it was working the histlog files had permissions of 644. For some reason they are now written with 640 permissions and xymon is unable to display them. If I manually chmod to 644 xymon can read them. Where can we configure the permissions with which these files are written? I'm talking about the files at xymon/data/hislogs by the way. I should also mention that xymon:xymon has ownership of these files.
Weird, there's nothing in Xymon that touches these files once they have been created.
If you run "stat FILENAME" it will show you the time the permissions were changed in the "Change:" line. E.g.
$ stat bla File: `bla' Size: 1 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 6801h/26625d Inode: 2851019 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 1000/hstoerne) Gid: ( 1000/hstoerne) Access: 2013-02-14 14:06:56.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2013-02-14 14:07:10.000000000 +0100 Change: 2013-02-14 14:07:10.000000000 +0100
$ chmod 400 bla
$ stat bla File: `bla' Size: 1 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 6801h/26625d Inode: 2851019 Links: 1 Access: (0400/-r--------) Uid: ( 1000/hstoerne) Gid: ( 1000/hstoerne) Access: 2013-02-14 14:06:56.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2013-02-14 14:07:10.000000000 +0100 Change: 2013-02-14 14:07:26.000000000 +0100
Note that "Change:" is different from "Modify:" - it shows when the chmod happened.
Perhaps that could give you a clue ?
