To work around this, create a new tmp folder for JBoss ON:

1. mkdir /home/tmp/jon
2. chown -R <jon_user>:<jon_user> /home/tmp/jon
3. chmod a+rwx /home/tmp/jon

and then, edit rhq-agent-env.sh file to add this tmp folder to RHQ_AGENT_JAVA_OPTS:

edit RHQ_AGENT_JAVA_OPTS="-Xms64m -Xmx128m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/tmp/jon"

Save the file and restart the agent.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and start JBoss ON Server and Agent and deploy plugins for EWS;
2. Change permissions for /tmp folder to noexec - so direct execution of any binaries on the mounted filesystem is not allowed.
3. Start Apache instance and let JBoss ON Agent discover it;
4. Import discovered Apache instance and confirm that it's availability is green;
5. From JBoss ON UI navigate to Apache instance -> Inventory -> Connection Settings and set "Enable augeas support" to Yes and save the change;
6. From above page navigate to Configuration tab for this Apache instance.

Actual results:
Message "No configuration was retrieved. This means that either the plugin failed to load the configuration or that configuration collection is merely switched off in the connection settings." is showed at the top of the screen (green background) and no configuration is detected. The agent.log file shows:
