    Hello Viktor, team,

    I have a simple question, is it possible to install netxms server/agents as user, not as root. If yes, how can this be achieved? Also are there any rpm packages yet? Are they planned ?

    Best regards,
    Adrian

      Hi,

      you can run agent and server as any user. If you start them as a service, you can use configuration file parameters UserId and GroupId or command line options -u and -g to change effective uid/gid after startup.
      For server it is recommended to enable raw socket access (required for ICMP ping) as described here: https://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/How_to_enable_ICMP_ping_for_NetXMS_server_running_under_non-root_account

      Yes, rpm packaged are planned.

      Best regards,
      Victor
