Hi,

When configuring the azure iot defender micro agent on the iot edge device (azure vm) we uncounted the following error message - [procfs_reader.c/read_data_from_procfs:101] Error getting username in pid

When checking the status its running, its gives an error2024-04-30 10_00_13-Window 1

I restarted the service and then saw additional messages at startup (don't know if its related to the issue).

sudo journalctl -u defender-iot-micro-agent | tail -n 100

2024-04-30 10_02_34-Window 1

we checked the permissions and its looks okay

2024-04-30 10_06_08-Window 1

The one thing stands out the folder looks different than in the Microsoft documentation. But its same folder as when we run the status command.

I also tested the system- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/defender-for-iot/device-builders/tutorial-standalone-agent-binary-installation#test-the-system

but it doesn't produce recommendation in azure. The log analytics table : SecurityRecommendation does not return any result.

Please help,

Regards,

Midhun
