prometheus.promtool cannot write debug file

[Joseph Borg]

ubuntu@ip-172-31-91-40:~$ prometheus.promtool debug metrics localhost
error completing debug command: error creating a new archiver: error creating archive "debug.tar.gz": open debug.tar.gz: permission denied

ubuntu@ip-172-31-91-40:~$ sudo prometheus.promtool debug metrics localhost
error completing debug command: error creating a new archiver: error creating archive "debug.tar.gz": open debug.tar.gz: permission denied

I guess this needs the home plug.

The home plug was added at some point after this bug was raised, but we're now seeing a different issue:

jsimpso@kif:~$ promtool debug metrics http://127.0.0.1:9103
collecting: http://127.0.0.1:9103/metrics
Compiling debug information complete, all files written in "debug.tar.gz".

jsimpso@kif:~$ promtool debug metrics http://localhost:9103
collecting: http://localhost:9103/metrics
error completing debug command: error executing HTTP request: Get "http://localhost:9103/metrics": dial tcp: lookup localhost on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:48376->[::1]:53: read: connection refused

* adjust program to use $SNAP_DATA
* adjust program to use /run/shm/snap.$SNAP_NAME.*
* adjust program to use /run/snap.$SNAP_NAME.*
* adjust snap to use snap layouts (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snap-layouts/7207)
* add one of 'firewall-control, fwupd, network, network-bind, network-control, network-observe' to 'plugs'

I've committed a fix for the second problem, which is built and published to edge (along with an update to 2.50.1).
