 Description   

Zabbix Java Gateway runs as root. I changed the systemd unit file to make it run as user 'zabbix', and changed ownership of the log file and it worked without a hitch. Since it doesn't have drawbacks that I'm aware of and it's more secure, why not change this setting?

Is this a problem with official Zabbix packages provided by Zabbix LLC?

Comment by Tiemen Ruiten [ 2016 Sep 14 ]

Yes, packages are installed from the Zabbix Official Repository.
