DBC:Errors/DBC-E004

[DBC-E004] OS error retrieving <file>: <message>

This happens if DBcollect cannot read a file as part of the collected data.

A common cause is when the file is a virtual file which cannot be read by the OS.

Solution:

It is not a critical problem, DBCollect will proceed with the rest of the tasks.

Solution 2:

dbcollect runs as non-root (see Security) and cannot read the SAR files. If the file is a SAR file: /var/log/sa/saXX, you can provide read access to others for these files:

chmod o+r /var/log/sa/sa*
