Return code of 2 from periodic-logs command: '/opt/zeus/zxtm/bin/zsadc

[gaa]

zxtm installed on a virtual Linux machine (RHEL 6.9)

Got the following error in the event log:

Return code of 2 from periodic-logs command: '/opt/zeus/zxtm/bin/zsadc "$LOGCURRENT/sadc-data" >>"/opt/zeus/log/periodic-logs/current/sadc-log" 2>&1'

SELinux is set up with enforcing enabled and after some investigation that is causing the error.

Solution:

SELinux type enforcement file (zsadc.te):

policy_module(zsadc, 1.0)

require {
        type sysstat_t;
}

#============= sysstat_t ==============
files_delete_usr_dirs(sysstat_t)
files_manage_usr_files(sysstat_t)
files_rw_usr_dirs(sysstat_t)

Put the zsadc.te file in an empty folder and as root:

$ make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile zsadc.pp
$ semodule -i zsadc.pp

Thanks - We think this is related to locale issues, and has been fixed in versions 17.3 onwards - also fixed in LTS releases such as 9.9r3 and 10.4r2

It looks like you have solved already, but if you have support then you could raise a case and attach a TSR, and we can check for you.
