Unable to monitor log using zabbix

[vijay maurya]

Hi Team,

We had followed the instruction given at below link to monitor logs file using zabbix on Linux server.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/3.2/manual/config/items/itemtypes/log_items

After creating the item below error is coming.

5470:20180829:044654.964 active check "log[/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log,ERROR]" is not supported: Cannot obtain information for file "/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log": [13] Permission denied

We troubleshooted the issue but no luck.

1.We had given the zabbix user read/write permission on /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log which used to run zabbix_agent

2. We allowed the zabbix_agent should by pass the SELinux setting, as it is in enforcing mode.

semanage permissive -a zabbix_agent_t

3.We disabled the SELinux completely.

We tried the different method but still the same error is coming.

Please help us on this.

Thanks and Regards,
Vijay Maurya
