File type error when setcap


Hi,
My linux is CentOS7.

When I run Elastic Beats-Auditbeat with non-root user, it shows this error:
Quote:
ERROR instance/beat.go:877 Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: failed to create audit client: failed to get audit status: operation not permitted
Exiting: 1 error: 1 error: failed to create audit client: failed to get audit status: operation not permitted
Then check the capability which the process lacked with this command: strace ./auditbeat -c 1 localhost 2>&1 | grep EPERM and it shows:
Quote:
epoll_ctl(4, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, 3, {EPOLLIN|EPOLLOUT|EPOLLRDHUP|EPOLLET, {u32=66785192, u64=140471267168168}}) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
epoll_ctl(4, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, 3, {0, {u32=0, u64=0}}) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
I found the lacked capability is CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND by this http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7...ilities.7.html


But when I run command setcap cap_block_suspend=ep auditbeat with root it shows:
Quote:
fatal error: Invalid argument
usage: setcap [-q] [-v] (-r|-|<caps>) <filename> [ ... (-r|-|<capsN>) <filenameN> ]

Note <filename> must be a regular (non-symlink) file.

Whereas I have checked that auditbeat is just a regular file:

Quote:
[usr@linuxhost auditbeat-7.2.0-linux-x86_64]$ stat auditbeat
File: ‘auditbeat’
Size: 70418699 Blocks: 137544 IO Block: 4096 regular file

How could I solve it?

Thank you.
Daniel.
