Problem/Question

I am trying to access my local netdata agent health API to disable it’s notifications at scheduled intervals.

Whenever I do this command,
curl -H “X-Auth-Token: apikey” “http://localhost:19999/api/v1/manage/health?cmd=RESET”
I get “auth error” in response.
I have clearly supplied the auth token. It is the same token as mentioned in the registry section of my netdata.conf file.

Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue

Referring to this documentation
Health API Calls | Learn Netdata

Environment/Browser/Agent’s version etc

Latest Netdata agent running on Ubuntu 20.04, connected to netdata cloud.

What I expected to happen

I should be able to connect to management api.

Issue for permissions for auth key file

2022-10-16 15:36:48: netdata ERROR : MAIN : Cannot create unique management API key file '/var/lib/netdata/netdata.api.key'. Please adjust config parameter 'netdata management api key file' to a proper path and file. (errno 13, Permission denied)

I just deleted the file, and netdata created one automatically on restart with correct permissions.
