http_check fails to load cert path in alpine image

[a200462790]

Output of the info page

http_check (2.0.1)
    ------------------
      - initialize check class [ERROR]: OSError('Unable to locate `embedded` directory. Please specify ca_certs in your http yaml configuration file.',)
  

Additional environment details (Operating System, Cloud provider, etc):

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Create http_check.yml in conf.d directory:

init_config: ~
instances:
  - name: github
    url: https://status.github.com/api/status.json
    content_match: 'major'
    reverse_content_match: true
    ca_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
    disable_ssl_validation: true
    skip_event: true
    tags:
      - url:https://status.github.com/api/status.json
      - service:github

2. Build below docker file(using your own api key)

FROM datadog/docker-dd-agent:latest-alpine
ENV API_KEY=<API_KEY>
COPY conf.d /conf.d

3. Run the docker image

Describe the results you received:

    initialize check class [ERROR]: OSError('Unable to locate embedded directory. Please specify ca_certs in your http yaml configuration file.',)

Describe the results you expected:
I expected the http_check to not try to load the default certs directory(inside embedded) if the ca_certs is set or if disable_ssl_validation is set.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
This only happens with the alpine image.

Hi @a200462790 thanks for reporting.

This doesn't seem related to the way the http_check works, closing as a duplicate of DataDog/docker-dd-agent#307
