# Warnings

## Root permissions

When using this component, the collector process needs root permission to be able to read the content of the files located in the following locations:
* `/`
* `/var/run/docker.sock`
* `/var/lib/docker`
* `/run/containerd/containerd.sock`
* `/sys`
* `/dev/disk`

This requirement comes from the fact that this component is based on [cAdvisor](https://github.com/google/cadvisor).
