(Something like RootDirectory= or ConfigurationDirectory=) Do the permissions on /etc/ itself grant permission to the uid the process is running as? Another option you may want to consider is to pass the username and password as env variables. This can be done by editing the [Service] section of the service unit to have: Environment='DATA_SOURCE_NAME=mysqld_exporter:XXXXXXXX@(localhost:3306)/' The advantage being that you would no longer need the .mysqld_exporter.cnf file with permissive permissions -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
