hi Community
while installing a new icinga2 setup, i realized i am unable to access certain folders to complete my icinga2 setup…such that the api details username and password
i know from past online discussion that nagios owner and group is used when i used the debian packages instead of the init script in ubuntu 22.04
my query is how can i access the information in icinga2 and icinga2web to complete installation if i cant access the folders…icinga2 and icinga2web…
is there a dependance that i may have missed to enable access to these vital config files…
new installation
root@icingadev:/etc# cat /etc/passwd | grep nagios
nagios:x:114:119::/var/lib/nagios:/usr/sbin/nologin
Thanking you in advance for your feedback and assistance…
Regards
