We check the contents of
/proc/1/cgroup
to determine if we are in a container or not. However, this pseudo file will not exist if cgroup is not available, e.g. if it has been explicitly disabled, maybe on a shared system. This PR returnsfalse
(i.e. not containerized) if the file does not exist.This has been reported on SO, and we fixed a similar issue in Beats (elastic/beats#3666).
