What does this PR do?
Previously, the diagnostics socket path was hard coded as
/usr/share/elastic-agent/edot-diagnostics-extension.sock, which resulted infailed to create listener: read-only file systemwhen being run inside of a container.This PR updates the diagnostics socket path based on the
STATE_PATHenvironment variable, ensuring the socket is created in a writable state directory.Why is it important?
Without this change, the collector fails to start in a read-only filesystem because it used to create the socket under
/usr/share/elastic-agentor/tmpChecklist

ls /state/data. You'll see that the diagnostics socket is present under the directory.Related issues
