Hello community! I know earlier there was limitation: _Monitoring of containers is not supported when OneAgent installed in the unprivileged mode._ In Documentation I can see this: Operation \> Gather monitoring data related to Docker containers. on page [https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/root-privileges-linux#operation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/shortlink/root-privileges-linux?_ga=2.91825178.1227296934.1587975712-483704453.1571821272#operation) So, my question is: **Can Dynatrace OneAgent monitor Docker containers in non-root mode?** Correct me if i missed something or totally wrong. Thank you! Regards, Alexander ---

Yes, the containers can be monitored in non-root mode, however, you will need to use root mode during installation. After that, though, the OneAgent can be run by a non-privileged account.
