Description of problem: The node_exporter service fails to start successfully, as the node_exporter user and group are not created when this package is installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.1.1-2.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: Reproduces every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install 2. 3. Actual results: The node_exporter service fails to start successfully. Expected results: The node_exporter service starts successfully. Additional info: The rpm spec is attempting to use systemd-sysusers to create the node_exporter user, and systemd-sysusers doesn't exist in centos 7.
This is strange, in centos 7, it is version 219 of systemd, and it does contain syususers and the sysusers_create macro. Ha, it seems it is manually disabled in the SPEC of systemd, which sucks. Bqck to shadow-utils them.
Thanks for your report. I'm taking care of it ASAP.
