Hi All

I am developing my own module in Icinga 2 for my needs and I have run into a problem (I took inspiration from the x509 module). My problem is that when I launch the command (as root) from the console it works, but when I try to run it as a service (i create a linux service that run that same command) it goes into error and does not recognize the same command. Can anyone help me and explain why it doesn’t work?

Kind Regards.

can you upload the module on github?

some thoughts without knowing your code:

  • try to run the service as user www-data or whatever your webserver user is…
  • icingacli thinks the module is not there…

If i run sudo -u apache /usr/bin/icingacli mwp merjob run it work.

I cannot upload the project to GitHub because the rules of my company do not allow it

If you need some file i can upload a single file.

Kind Regards.

My problem is that when I launch the command (as root) from the console it works

If i run sudo -u apache /usr/bin/icingacli mwp merjob run it work.

If i run icingacli as normal user I get a different error which is totally ok:
ERROR: Cannot read enabled modules. Config directory "/etc/icingaweb2" is not readable

/etc/icingaweb2 should be readable for everyone

I need to run all my icingacli commands as root or www-data (ubuntu)

If your icingacli command works for root or apache use one of these users for your service, use www-data or leave blank to use root.
