Nagios Looking Glass Creating Templates

[Eric Hernandez]

  Andy, I ran the debug
  and i noticed that it was always saying that filter was out of date.
   
  Synchronising s3_filter.inc.php with server ... out-of-date ... updating ...  bytes written
   
  I chmod -R 774 the entire client directory, it did not help.
  I than deleted the s3_filter.inc.php in the client sync-files directory 
  and it now works. Every time i make a change it updates correctly.
   
  Thanks for all your help.
   
  Best Regards,
  -Eric

  Hi Eric,

You can check the sync'ing using the debugging feature - it will say 
"file xxx out-of-date, sync'ing with server... OK" etc. It's impossible 
to test properly through the shell - as there are a couple of views 
which are loaded through Ajax - which isn't supported by either a shell 
script or the Lynx browser. You also cannot debug it through a shell 
script as you need to be able to pass a variable into the request.

As for permissions, you need the following for the user the web-server 
runs as (if you use NLG's client and server on the same machine, then 
both sets of permissions apply):

on the server-side:

- read access to the whole of the server/ directory
- write access to the server/index directory
- read access to the Nagios var/ directory

on the client-side:

- read access to the whole of the client/ directory
- write access to the root of the client/ directory
- write access to the client/sync-files directory
