Observability - Telegraf permissions query

[guruzen]

I installed the observability stack on my edge node. I have
observability b-f7014740-f144-59-telegraf-78bc67bbd5-vvxxw 1/1 Running 0 26m
observability fluent-bit-b7fcb 1/1 Running 0 26m
observability kube-state-metrics-8dc9d989-xxffd 3/3 Running 0 25m
observability prometheus-node-exporter-847dh 1/1 Running 0 25m
observability prometheus-operator-74d4985f67-b6qvd 1/1 Running 0 25m
observability prometheus-prometheus-prometheus-0 2/2 Running 0 23m

The below logs are from "b-f7014740-f144-59-telegraf-78bc67bbd5-vvxxw"

I am not sure what problem it carries but I thought I would share you this

@guruzen Are you able to see the performance metrics, edge node status from the Web UI observability dashboard? Which software version and what type of Edge Node are you using?

[guruzen]

@jgespino Yes Its all working. But I was curious why these permission issues were running in the logs. I dont see any functional issue because of this

[jgespino]

Could you share more details on your environment, software versions and steps that you took to add the observability stack to the edge node? What OS is the edge node running?
