Hello !

Firstly I’d like to thank all readers for your time and consideration.

 

Now here’s my issue. When setting up centreon and mariadb along with it, I used a password containing ‘&’ and this would not have been a problem if I was not using NagVis as a plugin for centreon. The thing is that they use the same database and the same database user as well but NagVis config file raises errors when using characters such as ‘&’ or ‘²’ in the dbpassword variable.

(I already tried to escape using ‘&’ by encoding it in UTF8 or ‘&’ but it doesn’t work)

 

To fix this issue, I looked for a way to reconfigure database configuration in centreon but didn’t find anything, so I manually changed the hardcoded password in the multiple conf files which worked for a bit. But now, when I restart centreon-broker from the web interface, it replaces the password I replaced by the one with ‘&’. Thing is I can’t find out where it finds it from since I can’t grep it from anywhere else.

 

Is there a way to fix my issue I missed ? I will now try to split centreon and nagvis users, I’ll keep this post updated.

The way to go was simply to create another user named ‘nagvis’ and grant it the same privileges as the user ‘centreon’ on mariadb / mysql !
