Package: prometheus-ipmi-exporter
Version: 1.8.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rvandegr...@debian.org
Hello,
The Debian package for prometheus-ipmi-exporter carries a patch [1] to set
freeipmi.path by default. Due to a surprising design, this breaks the config
required to run a local exporter as an unprivileged user.
That involves using sudo as follows:
modules:
default:
collectors:
- bmc
- ipmi
collector_cmd:
bmc: sudo
ipmi: sudo
custom_args:
bmc:
- bmc-info
ipmi:
- ipmimonitoring
Surprisingly, freeimpi.path applies to the collect_cmd entires. So the
exporter prepends /usr/bin to those entires, and fails to find sudo. Since
there is no way to override this, I don't see any way to run without root.
There's an upstream report of this issue at [2].
Thanks,
Ross
