Package: icinga
Version: 1.13.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in the version of icinga in stretch, the icinca log files are created with
permissions 600,
user and group nagios:nagios or nagios:adm. This prevents the web frontend
(which is run as
www-data in case of apache2) from accessing it and displaying history for a
service:
"Log file "/var/log/icinga/icinga.log" invalid! No timestamp found within first
16 bytes!
I have found not way of fixing this via additional group memberships. This was
not the case
in nagios as distributed with the previous release.
Thanks for looking into this,
Christian

Hi Christian,

yes, that seems to be the case. When I manually change the mode to 644,
it keeps that. Maybe it's worth documenting this somewhere... I think
we
can consider this bug closed. Thanks for the hint,
We could add a paragraph in README.Debian, but changing permissions
should be easy enough for any sysadmin.
Running the GUI on the same systems as the icinga daemon which creates
the logfile is not required, so giving the webserver access to the log
file is not strictly required either.
It think it safe to leave this as-is, but if someone provides a
paragraph for README.Debian I'll happily include it.
Kind Regards,
Bas
