Hi,
Just chiming in here and could be totally off the mark but this sounds like a great candidate for using built in Linux ACLs. Should be able to give the Zabbix user permissions for anything created in that directory using setfacl.

Hi,
We want to monitor disk-buffer files, so we can detect if there is are some issues with the destinations. syslog-ng creates these files with permissions like this
otal 360
-rw-------. 1 root root 4096 Oct 10 2019 syslog-ng-00000.qf
-rw-------. 1 root root 4096 Jul 12 03:49 syslog-ng-00001.qf
So, our monitor script (for zabbix) cannot stat files because it is running under user zabbix.
I'm not sure how to submit a feature request nowadays, but it would be great of perm() option added to disk-buffer()
Any chance?
Thx
