Can't cd /var/lib/nagios

[Krysztophe]

It seems that a sudo -u check_pgbackrest is not possible, it always returns /var/lib/nagios: Permission denied

A workaround is possible with sudo -iu and allowing bash -c check_pgbackrest but it would be better to solve the problem at root. It seems that no_chdir=1 solve the problem, but that involves modifying the regex too.

I may submit a real PR someday.
