During installation, the JMS plugin creates usagetracker.properties in the central file system if it doesn't already exist. A permissions issue has been identified during JMS plugin installations on Linux and macOS instances using the JMS Install script or the OMA installer provided by JMS. If the /etc/oracle/java directory doesn't exist, the installation process creates it with permissions set to 0750, which restricts non-root users from accessing usagetracker.properties and prevents logging to /var/log/java/usagetracker.log.

New installations on Linux and macOS instances using the JMS Install script or OMA installer provided by JMS are affected. To allow non-root access, manually adjust the permissions for /etc/oracle/java on each affected instance. This update is effective immediately and does not require an agent restart.

Recommended permission:

chmod 755 /etc/oracle/java
