check_puppet.rb doesn't complain when it doesn't have read permissions about monitoring-scripts

[ripienaar]

should be an easy check, wanna give it a try fixing it?

[kstalledo]

For some reason, I'm getting this error even if the file is present and permission is correct:
UNKNOWN: Summary file not found or not readable. Check /var/lib/puppet/state/last_run_summary.yaml

Any idea?

[ripienaar]

@kstakledo so where is your file called that? There is a CLI flag to configure the path.

[kstalledo]

drwxr-xr-t 3 puppet puppet 4096 Jan 13 16:20 .
drwxr-x--- 12 puppet puppet 4096 Apr 9 2016 ..
-rw-r----- 1 root root 1024 Jan 13 16:20 classes.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 29 2015 graphs
-rw-r----- 1 root root 160267 Jan 13 16:20 last_run_report.yaml
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 874 Jan 13 16:20 last_run_summary.yaml
-rw-r----- 1 root root 6096 Jan 13 16:20 resources.txt
-rw-rw---- 1 root root 82239 Jan 13 16:20 state.yaml
root@dc1-aie-fms-01:/var/lib/puppet/state#

I already configured the flag. Same thing.

[ripienaar]

And you ran the check as root?

[kstalledo]

it's being ran as a different user, but as you can see the file is readable by everyone based on its permission.

[ripienaar]

The parent dir is not.

[kstalledo]

Good spot! Let me try and check.

[kstalledo]

Nope, didn't work. Even with 777 permission on both the directory and the file.

[ripienaar]

As the user you are running the the check as. Can you cat the file?

[kstalledo]

just added the user that does the check to the puppet group. all working now. thanks!
