[Check_mk (english)] OMD and MK_Livestatus service_authorization Variable

All,

I'm using Check_MK with OMD 1.2 (Check_MK/Livestatus 1.2.4p5). On the Check_MK documentation page for Livestatus, https://mathias-kettner.com/checkmk_livestatus.html, I noticed that you can set the Nagios variables service_authorization or group_authorization to change how Nagios handles permissions. Changing this would be attractive for our setup.

In my ~/etc/mk-livestatus/nagios.cfg, if I add the variable "service_authorization=strict", Nagios refuses to restart and claims that I've added an unknown variable. The documentation says to add this to nagios.cfg, (which gets built from a variety of files, including the one I added the variable into). Does anyone else use this Livestatus variable or have any insight into why this configuration errors out?

The variable needs to be added to the broker line inside your nagios.cfg,

Example:

broker_module=/usr/local/lib/mk-livestatus/livestatus.o \

pnp_path=/var/lib/pnp4nagios/perfdata service_authorization=strict /var/lib/nagios/rw/live

In your installation the paths can be different.
