Proposed commit message
Mark logs-system.syslog data stream as requires root
Reading syslog files requires root, so if this data stream is in use the agent will require root privileges. Adding
agent.privileges.root: true
makes Fleet/Agent aware of the requirement for escalated privileges.Checklist
changelog.yml
file.How to test this PR locally
Run an agent with the system integration and verify it collects data when run as a root user. I don't think the majority of the non-root agent work is "wired up" so there won't be anything obvious to test at this time. See elastic/kibana#183283.
