Monitor user unit services

[Lusitaniae]

In some cases I want to monitor systemd services setup as a user unit

sudo su -l user1

systemctl status --user app1

checking the systemd status from outside won't work

I have the same issue and I struggle to get it working :( i am running systemd exporter as root and expect it to get all metric for root and all users.

I end up making systemd-exporter run in the same user as the service being monitored

and adding

--systemd.collector.user
