Hello

When using service template :

OS-Linux-Cpu-Centreon-Monitoring-Agent -> Generic-Passive-CMA-Service-custom -> Generic-Passive-CMA-Service

 

check command is set to :

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins//centreon_linux_local.pl --plugin='os::linux::local::plugin' --mode='cpu'  --warning-core='' --critical-core='' --warning-average='' --critical-average='' --statefile-dir='' 

 

 

but when --statefile-dir=’’, plugin tries to write in /, which results in :

     
UNKNOWN: Cannot write statefile '/cache_linux_local_me_cpu_a181a603769c1f98ad927e7367c7aa51'. Need write/exec permissions on directory.

 

=> the flag --statefile-dir=’’ should be removed from the default command / template

Looking at the locked command played, a fix would be to set $_HOSTCENTREONAGENTSTATEFILEDIR$ to a custom dir.

but this macro is not in the default “Generic-Passive-CMA-Host” so not editable.
