[Spacewalk-list] Enable Monitoring

Tue Aug 5 20:47:40 UTC 2008

Hi,

I solved the problem Not able to write to /etc/rhn/cluster.ini
On Centos 5.2 the following message appears in the log file /var/log/secure

Jul 31 15:39:39 satellite sudo:   tomcat : sorry, you must have a tty to
run sudo ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/usr/share/tomcat5 ; USER=root ;
COMMAND=/usr/bin/rhn-config-satellite.pl --target=/etc/rhn/rhn.conf
--option=web.is_monitoring_backend=0
--option=server.satellite.http_proxy_username=
--option=server.satellite.http_proxy=
--option=server.satellite.http_proxy_password= 2>&1 > /dev/null

I have removed the following line in /etc/sudoers
Defaults    requiretty

After this change I was able  to  activate monitoring.
Still there are some problems. The package SatConfig-general is not
available in the repository i386.
I have build from the git sources.
After installation of this package I have the following problem.

When start /etc/init.d/Monitoring I get  the following messages:

2008-08-05 22:14:18 Monitoring: Debug level = 0

Now there is a oracle connection problem.
