RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

grafana-cli crash output
Description of problem:
When a root user with current working directory not being accessible for grafana user (like /root - the root's home directory) runs grafana-cli, the utility crashes.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
* grafana-7.3.6-1.el8
How reproducible:
* Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install grafana on RHEL-8
# yum install -y grafana
2. As root user switch your current working directory to "/root"
# cd ~
3. Run the grafana-cli utility
# grafana-cli plugins ls
Actual results:
The grafana-cli utility crashes with error output attached to this bug
Expected results:
No crash, the grafana-cli just works
Additional info:
As the /usr/sbin/grafana-cli is a shell wrapper to /usr/libexec/grafana/grafana-cli , the simple solution to this bug is to do "cd ~grafana" or "cd ${GRAFANA_HOME}" in /usr/sbin/grafana-cli before "runuser" command is executed.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
For information on the advisory (Moderate: grafana security, bug fix, and enhancement update), and where to find the updated
