Issue/Introduction

How should the sudoers file be configured for a Low Scale shared Data Aggregator Data Collector installation owned and run by a non-root user?

Non-root sudo user configuration for Low Scale shared Data Aggregator Data Collector installations.

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Resolution

Two options exist to resolve this.

1. Combine the sudoers configuration from normal non-root user sudo user config for standard Data Aggregator and Data Collector installs.
2. Enter the two different command alias entries to the sudoers file per the following documentation.
   • Configure the Sudo User Account for Data Aggregator documentation
   • Configure the Sudo User Account for Data Collector documentation

For option 1 this is an example for what to add to the sudoers file.

The paths shown are default paths. Change as needed.

Replace <userName> with the target non-root sudo user user name.
