What is the process for support on applications for observium subscribers? In this case the PowerDNS Recursive Server application.

Should we reach out to the original author. In this case the script is very simple and it seems it has no documented authors.

The issue is the script is no longer working even though it was in the past.

It may be because PowerDNS Recursive Server 4.8 has made permission changes to /var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket

Testing the script /usr/lib/observium_agent/local/powerdns-recursor and it will execute with below error.

<<<app-powerdns-recursor>>>

Fatal: Unable to connect to remote '/var/run/pdns-recursor/pdns_recursor.controlsocket': Permission denied

Here is the powerdns-recursor script .

#!/bin/sh

recctrl=`which rec_control`

if [ $? -eq 0 ]

then

echo '<<<app-powerdns-recursor>>>'

$recctrl get-all

TIA
