Apache logs

[adnan]

Hi,

I want to display the apache logs of my server. Their is an permission error, Kindly suggest the solution

active check "log["/var/log/httpd/everycatalog-error_log"]" is not supported: Cannot obtain information for file "/var/log/httpd/everycatalog-error_log": [13] Permission denied

Please check the authority so that the user executing the agent can access it.
For example, is the /var/log/httpd directory accessible only as the root user?
It is necessary to make it accessible to zabbix user.

- Access right to the directory where the log file is located
- Permission to read the log file

I added the zabbix user in a group called www-data and assigned the apache folder. It has read and excute to the folder and file has read access.

drwxr-x---. 2 root www-data 4096 Feb 6 18:25 httpd

-rw-r-xr-- 1 root www-data 2661 Feb 6 18:25 item-error_log

Still permission denied issue

What is the output when you run like:

su zabbix -s /bin/bash -c "tail /var/log/httpd/everycatalog-error_log"

?

It is showing the logs.

Have you restarted the Zabbix agent after changing the permissions?

Yes. The main issue that initially when i create the item it is enabled and showing result in latest but after few mins the item showing permission denied error.
