Centcore is moving temporary files in an infinite loop

[ddu17]

Hello,

I'm using Centreon 2.6.3. I developed a script in order to store some external commands into the centcore pipe.

My commands are stored in a file located near /var/lib/centreon/centcore/.

When centcore is working with my file, it renames the file like by adding "_read" in their name. This process is done in a loop.

Please note that my external commands are working fine, but this behaviour sounds like a bug.

Best regards.

Hello,

Which OS ?

Can we have the centcore logs ? Because we try this on our plateform and we can't reproduce.

Do you have specific security configuration on your system ? It seems that centcore can remove the file. It's not a normal behavior because he can rename it...

Thanks

Hello,

This bug is due to the fact that you use vi to write this command file. Please prefer using a temp directory for writing your command file and after that move this file into /var/lib/centreon/centcore directory. Here, vi sets specific permission on the file, and so centcore can't remove it.

Centcore have to read all files created in this directory, that's why he read vi temp file.

For avoiding this problem, I know remove the read of .* file and *_read files. It should fix all your problems.
