The datadog agent runs under the dd-agent user and dd-agent group. This prevents dd-agent accessing the logs in /var/log as they are only accessible by root (or a sudo admin).

In order to allow read only access for dd-agent only, create ACL's and modify logrotate to persist the permissions changes.

You can manually set the ACL with:

sudo setfacl -m g:dd-agent:rx /var/log/<application-name>

This will not persist as logrotate will not re-apply the ACL setting so for a more permanent solution you can add a rule to logrotate to reset the ACL. You will need to create a new file:

	#!/usr/bin/env python

	import sys
	import urllib2
	import json
	from collections import defaultdict

	from nltk import word_tokenize

	IGNORED_WORDS = ["!", ".", ",", "(", ")", "'s", ":", "?", "...", "$",

	import traceback
	import logging
	from logging.handlers import SocketHandler

	import heka


	class HekaSocketHandler(SocketHandler):

	SEVERITY_MAP = {
