Hello,
I want to monitor dovecot stats, and so I have an exporter process that run with limited rights.
The monitoring user has only access to /var/run/dovecot/stats-reader and it works fine.
Doveadm stats dump returns the list of all stats as expected.
But each time I run doveadm stats dump, it logs the following error:
Error: net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot/stats-writer) failed: Permission denied
So what is the purpose of the stats-writer socket, and why doveadm try to open it to simply dump stats ?
Is it really something it needs and I should update my user permissions or is it a doveadm bug ?
