Processes graph and GrSecurity

[PacketCollision]

I run GrSecurity on my box which means that all non-root users can only see processes that they started. This means that the "processes" graph never shows more than about 6 processes running at any time. I tried making the perl script setuid root, but it appears not to help. I was wondering if anyone had come across this issue and if so, what they did to solve it.

Thanks.

It appears GrSecurity uses kernel level restrictions, which means you aren't likely to be able to fix this directly.

I Suggest setting up a cron script using root something like

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * (perl /path/to/cacti/scripts/unix_scripts.pl > /tmp/blah; chown cacti:cacti /tmp/blah)

Then create a script for cacti to parse the text file instead.
