Ubuntu 18.04
I guess is a permission problem as the cert file I want to monitor is owned by root. So my real question/problem is, how can I handle this? It is possible to elevate permissions for the plugin to monitor owned by root certificates?
I expect to be able to monitor any file with independence to the owner user.
Hi @mbarper
Indeed, netdata user has no permissions to read files owned by root.
I am not a specialist, but i think we had pretty similar issue with filecheck collector, see Running Firefox as root in a regular user's session is not supported. ($HOME is /root which is owned by netdata.) · Issue #10205 · netdata/netdata · GitHub
We ended up with this solution go.d.plugin/modules/filecheck at master · netdata/go.d.plugin · GitHub
I hope it will help to resolve the problem!
