Hey. /var/lib/prometheus/node-exporter is owned root:root, which makes it rather problematc to let collectors that don’t run as root write there (in particular atomically). Could you perhaps add a dedicated system group like prometheus-textfile-collectors or something like that and make the directory root:prometheus-textfile-collectors owned with g+rwx permissions? Users for other collectors could then simply be added to that group. Simlpy making o+rwt (like /tmp) would not be a solution, as it would allow any user on the system to export metrics and open a security hole. Cheers, Chris.
