Running ceph status as non-root user?

[Victor Hooi <victorhooi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm attempting to setup Telegraf on a Proxmox machine to send Ceph information into InfluxDB.

I had a few issues around permissions (https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/5590), but we seem to be nearly sorted out.

However, one issue still remains around ceph status.

Specifically, it seems to require being able to read /etc/ceph/ceph.conf. For example, if I run sudo under the telegraf user context:

root@syd1:/etc/ceph# sudo -u telegraf ceph status

2019-03-16 07:01:37.262708 7f7031e1e700 -1 Errors while parsing config file!

2019-03-16 07:01:37.262712 7f7031e1e700 -1 parse_file: cannot open /etc/ceph/ceph.conf: (13) Permission denied

Error initializing cluster client: PermissionDeniedError('error calling conf_read_file',)

However, on Proxmox, ceph.conf is a symlink to a file on their pmxcfs file system - which doesn't let you set custom permissions.

Is there another way around this, to get ceph status to run under a non-root user?

Thanks,

Victor
