Public bug reported:

I didn't touch my Nagios config, just update my system from 15.04 to
15.10. Suddenly the default localhost/Disk Space check fails with the
following output:

DISK CRITICAL - /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is not accessible: Permission
denied

This can be reproduced when manually running the underlying command as
user "nagios":

$ /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w '20%' -c '10%' -e
DISK CRITICAL - /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is not accessible: Permission denied

When I run it as root it works:

# /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w '20%' -c '10%' -e
DISK OK| /dev=0MB;1186;1334;0;1483 /run=8MB;239;269;0;299 
/=17157MB;57386;64559;0;71733 /dev/shm=0MB;1199;1349;0;1499 
/run/lock=0MB;4;4;0;5 /sys/fs/cgroup=0MB;1199;1349;0;1499 
/boot=48MB;181;204;0;227 /run/user/0=0MB;239;269;0;299

Seems "nagios" user can't access the dir it tries to access:

# ls -la /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
drwx------  7 root root 0 Nov 15 19:40 .

# lsb_release -rd
