Hi,

I have a question about tracebeat.

Tracebeat available at the address:

> **[berfinsari/tracebeat](https://github.com/berfinsari/tracebeat)**
>
> Beat for traceroute command. Contribute to berfinsari/tracebeat development by creating an account on GitHub.

The problem is probably classic.

Can I run tracebeat somehow without root privileges?  
Is there any possibility?

You might need to ask on the repo, as that's a community beat and not something of ours 🙂
