Public bug reported:

Nagios reports a critical failure for "Disk Usage" in the nagios unit
itself (localhost)

Description
    CRITICAL: 'Disk Space' on 'nagios/0'
Service output
    DISK CRITICAL - /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is not accessible: Permission denied

The check is trying to validate the virtual filesystem, but the nagios
user doesn't have permissions:

# ls -l /sys/kernel/debug |grep tracing
drwx------  7 root root 0 May 21  2019 tracing


Related to LP#1516451 / LP#1827159 which fixes it in upstream (but only for focal I think) and handles it in the charm but just for squashfs (snaps).

I think nagios can skip this filesystem. The fix would be similar to the
squashfs/snap fix https://git.launchpad.net/charm-
nagios/commit/?id=6f5e177f0f718478cbaaab85ab3c32f4ee55bf16, by
appending:

-X tracefs
