Hi, I have a ceph cluster on Infernalis and I'm using a snmp agent to retrieve data and generate generic graphs concerning each cluster node. Currently, I can see in the syslog of each node this kind of lines (every 5 minutes): Mar 11 03:15:26 ceph01 snmpd[16824]: Cannot statfs /var/lib/ceph/mon/ceph-ceph01#012: Permission denied Mar 11 03:15:26 ceph01 snmpd[16824]: Cannot statfs /var/lib/ceph/osd/ceph-16#012: Permission denied Of course, it's a basic problem of Unix rights. The snmp agent uses the account "snmp" and the Unix rights of the ceph home directory are: ~# ll -d /var/lib/ceph drwxr-x--- 9 ceph ceph 4096 Nov 4 06:34 /var/lib/ceph/ So, of course, currently the snmp account can't access to /var/lib/ceph/{osd,mon}/$cluster-$id/. 1. Is there a problem (an eventually side effect) if I just do that? chmod o+rx /var/lib/ceph/ Can I have security problem with that? 2. Or do you think it's a better idea to just add "snmp" in the Unix group "ceph"? Maybe better than 1. because I don't change the permissions of the directory _and_ it seems to me that a member of the "ceph" group has never the "w" right in /var/lib/ceph/. Thanks in advance for your help. -- François Lafont _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
