```auto
Error loading config from file '/tmp/jmuser/healthService/monitor/Test-Jmsight-id_Test-Health-Name.yml', error invalid config: config file ("/tmp/jmuser/healthService/monitor/Test-Jmsight-id_Test-Health-Name.yml") must be owned by the user identifier (uid=0) or root

```

I want change user not root. Is it possible?

Yes, you'll need to execute the heartbeat binary as a non-root user. By default the binary is installed to be executed by root to enable ICMP ping.
