stat permission denied error when when all files and folders have adequate permissions

[sravanthnag]

Which user is used to fire the stat command by this plugin ?

With root user, local user, I can stat the directory or file in Linux but from Grafana add datasource section, whenever I use save and test, I get the error that

stat : / : permission denied

I tried giving exact file name. Even then it gets into same error

stat : /sample.csv : permission denied

Facing same issue with

stat /home/backup_log.csv: permission denied

[ZRunner]

Same thing here. Any idea?

In my case, it didn't work because I used a CSV which lived in /home. See https://github.com/fr-ser/grafana-sqlite-datasource/blob/master/docs/faq.md#i-have-a-permission-denied-error-for-my-database

Thanks @d-k-bo ! Your solution perfectly works for me.

hi @sravanthnag, sorry, we cannot do much here, for some reason your operating system does not allow the grafana-server-process access to that file. the solution will be specific to your setup. i recommend checking the article linked in #196 (comment) too.
