Having issues with intelmq.bots.collectors.file.collector_file

[x8006]

Hello everybody,

I would like to start by saying how interesting and effective this tool is.

I am trying to use the File Collector but unable to to do so. I am using manager and added the file collector bot, but even though I have entered correct path, I am getting the following error:

2023-03-06 10:17:19,415 - File-Collector - INFO - FileCollectorBot initialized with id File-Collector and intelmq 3.1.0 and python 3.8.10 (default, Nov 14 2022, 12:59:47) as process 118089.
2023-03-06 10:17:19,415 - File-Collector - INFO - Bot is starting.

2023-03-06 10:17:19,487 - File-Collector - INFO - Bot stopped.

However the path is a directory

$ file /tmp/test1/
/tmp/test1/: directory

Am I missing something ??

Thanks.

UPDATE: If I use /tmp/ directory everything works fine but if I create a new directory and put files into that directory, intelmq can not access it ?!

I have used 777 permission on the folder but still not working.

Did you start the Bot with the Manager? Is the result different, when you run intelmqct start .. on the command line? (If your webserver has a confined env (PrivateTmp) its subprocess may not access other dirs)

To check what IntelMQ sees, can you please run

sudo -u intelmq python3 -c "import pathlib; pathlib.Path('/tmp/test1/').stat()"
