Without these, apps.plugin cannot report disk I/O utilization of other processes. To enable capabilities run: sudo setcap cap_dac_read_search,cap_sys_ptrace+ep /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin; To enable setuid to root run: sudo chown root:netdata /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin; sudo chmod 4750 /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/apps.plugin; (errno 13, Permission denied) also nfacct plugin doesn't work: upstream website [1] says 'Keep in mind that NFACCT requires root access, so the plugin is setuid to root.' I guess also that can be fixed with the right caps. [1] https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/nfacct.plugin/
