If manually alter permissions (which isn't a persistent solution due to log rotation):
sudo chmod go+r /var/log/nagios3/nagios.log Then can see things like this: [2017-05-15 14:31:10] Nagios 3.5.1 starting... (PID=2141) ...here: http://localhost/cgi- bin/nagios3/history.cgi?host=localhost&service=Current+Load More usefully, you would be able to see when nagios checks fail etc. here too. I.e. this bug means it's only possible to see the current status using the nagios-cgi UI, not any history. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690380 Title: "Cannot open log file '/var/log/nagios3/nagios.log' for reading" error from nagios web UI when view alert history etc. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nagios3/+bug/1690380/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
