Hi Marcel, Telegraf uses some functionality from this utility to pull pid information: https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/tree/master/process The stats that Telegraf pulls from the /proc filesystem are generated from files under /proc/<pid>/ which by default have read permissions for user, group and others. Thus, Telegraf's procstat plugin should work well when executed as the telegraf user. /proc/<pid>/fd has stricter permissions but I don't think Telegraf pulls information from that directory. -- Remember to include the InfluxDB version number with all issue reports --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "InfluxDB" group.
