Troubleshooting file monitor permission issue

Ryan Hennessy

Hello, While configuring cribl edge source of type file monitor and setting discovery mode to manual, it keeps on telling me permission denied(attached) and the *.log files are not monitored, although the user running cribl have access to this directory and the underneath *.log files. Attached the configuration of the source. Any idea what could be causing this issue?

Jon Rust

can you share a listing of the directory in question? `ls -las`

Jon Rust

1. Need to see the perms of the directory as well, not just the files 2. dataiku is the user that Cribl is running as?

Ryan Hennessy

attached the permissions of the directory, cribladm is the user running cribl, but this user is added to the dataiku group.

Jon Rust

try putting Group=dataiku in the systemd config file

Jon Rust

```$ sudo systemctl edit cribl```

Jon Rust

```[Service] Group=dataiku```

Jon Rust

then restart it ```$ sudo systemctl restart cribl```

Ryan Hennessy

cribl is not running as a systemd process

Jon Rust

since making the change to /etc/groups, did you log out or restart? How did you start cribl? (this is a linux perms issue, not a cribl issue)

Ryan Hennessy

No, cribl wasn't restarted. We are already able to list/read the intended files in the server using cribl user attached.

Ryan Hennessy

cribl is now restarted and the issue is solved, thanks <@ULBGHDPNY&gt;
