Public bug reported:

The nagios user can't read /var/log/syslog for log-related monitoring.

by default, syslog is syslog:adm 640.

this is defined by /etc/rsyslog.conf

$FileOwner syslog
$FileGroup adm
$FileCreateMode 0640


I suggest that we add nagios user to group adm (usermod -a -G adm nagios) in the nrpe charm so each individual charm using nrpe checks doesn't have to add adm group or sudo rules to read log files for their checks.
