Out of the box, the "freeipmi" plugin fails with the following error: freeipmi.plugin ERROR : MAIN : ipmi_monitoring_sensor_readings_by_record_id(): internal system error (errno 9, Bad file descriptor) The Netdata installer script fixes this issue by calling (see https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/v1.31.0/netdata-installer.sh#L1311): chmod 4750 /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/freeipmi.plugin The Gentoo ebuild uses capabilities instead (for example for the nfacct and xenstat plugins). Adding the following lines to the "pkg_postinst" function fixes the issue, too: if use ipmi ; then fcaps 'cap_dac_override' 'usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/freeipmi.plugin' fi Reproducible: Always
Thank you!
