sudo: lsof: command not found - Exit status: 1

[RajeshGummadoju]

Hi All,

Missing port information like listening on, connecting to on Linux Servers and getting Error: "sudo: lsof: command not found - Exit status: 1"

We have checked the sudo file contains the lsof permission.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

RajeSh

Hi,

Can you check if there is must_sudo=true in probe parameter.

Hi Rajesh,

We had hundreds of these errors when we did our first discoveries. We found that lsof was actually not installed. The application teams that configured the servers had stripped all non-required programs including lsof. Check to see if it is actually installed or re-install it with:  ssh <host>  -n 'sudo yum -y install lsof'

Not having lsof installed will stop a discovery process cold.
