The kubelet.conf file should be owned by root

Docs > Datadog Security > OOTB Rules > The kubelet.conf file should be owned by root

Set up the kubernetes integration.

Description

The kubelet.conf file ownership should be set to root:root. The kubelet.conf file is the kubeconfig file for the node, and controls various parameters that set the behavior and identity of the worker node. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file.

Remediation

Run the following command to adjust the file ownership:
```
chown root:root /etc/kubernetes/kubelet.conf
```
