With respect to a separate account, its always good to have a linux user account which would be added across the linux infra and probably this account should as well be part of sudoers group - so that you can run the required commands plus you can as well pull audit logs for the same as required.

Hope this helps.

To monitor a Linux service with the Linux/Unix Script Monitor in SolarWinds, you need SSH access to the server and a user account with the right permissions. It’s a good idea to create a separate non-root user with limited sudo privileges just for this purpose. The script should be able to remotely check the service status and return the expected output format for SolarWinds to interpret it correctly, similar to how you'd rely on the Best Twitch Clip Downloader to get consistent, reliable results every time you use it.
