Running App Visibility Portal and Collector as non-root user

Mariusz Cwiklinski Nov 6, 2017 3:29 AM

My customer has separate teams to manage the Linux server administration and application administration (TrueSight in this case).

TrueSight App Visibility administrators will never have “root” access to Linux machine.

Has anyone configured the App Visibility Portal and Collector to be run as non-root user on Linux?

What has to be done to run App Visibility Portal and Collector to as non-root user?

Changing the owner of application and database is possible and it will work in standalone mode.

Unfortunately it will not work when running in HA mode, because BMC developers hard coded the "su postgres" in the application code (to execute backup command for PostgreSQL database cluster).
