Every minute log this message.

Hi,

you are probably running splunk as non root on a hardened linux
your splunk user doesn't have right to collect these stats....

Hi maraman,

I am also getting the same error, but I'm running my Splunk instances (specifically happens only on indexers) on Windows.

I've already assigned permissions to the disk but to no avail.

I am seeing the same in Windows as well. How do I fix it?
