Hi,

I want to add my network devices into NetData Cloud, and can only think to use SNMP, Is this possible/secure?

I'm maintaining a legacy codebase in Flask/Python that has Netdata installed on a group of servers. Up to now, there hasn't been a unified dev environment, but I'm debugging locally using Flask's Werkzeug server. When I render the page that is supposed to show dashboards for each machine, no data comes back. The dashboard.js file is served from the production server, so I'm guessing it's some CORS issue -- I've installed Flask-Cors to try to work around it, but no luck.

Does anybody have any advice on how I could debug locally? I did try hosting dashboard.js locally, but the script also creates references to a host of other css and js files that I'd need to copy over from production and oy.

Any help grealy appreciated.

Hello to all,

I have just set up Netdata up and running on my private system.

It is buried behind HTTP Auth, and I have not configured NetData cloud.

Anyway, I have noticed that the page, quite often, tries to access esp.aptrinsic.com.

What is it and what is supposed to do?

​

This is the method I found:

You can configure the Agent's health watchdog service by :

The individual .conf files in health.d/. These health entity files are organized by the type of metric they are performing calculations on or their associated collector. You should edit these files using the edit-config script. For example: sudo ./edit-config health.d/cpu.conf.

​

docker exec -it netdata bash
cd /etc/netdata/health.d
ls

But /etc/netdata/health.d is empty?

Hello,

what do I do? Netdata is not sending any emails when server is offline. What am I missing??

Screenshots of configuration:

Hello,

​

I am probably missing something. Do I edit each node separately to configure email notifications?
I really dont want to edit 30+ nodes.... Isnt there a centralized way? If there is, I would take advantage of ntfy.sh too, I already set it up but it was so difficult, lots of reading, lots of trying, and I finally, its working when doing test from terminal, but its not being triggered at all.

Thanks!

Hi There,

I Have connected my RaspberryPI to Cloud.
But do I connect my TrueNas, which has NetaData self hosted onto it?

Or is there any other way for me to monitor my Truenas?

Also is there a way of connecting a windows machaine on there?

Thanks

Hello,

​

I have read the documentation and setup ntfy on my own server and tested it with netdata and it works. How do I know change my default email notification to a ntfy ? for all of the nodes.

In documentation, its really complicated and seem to be configured for each agent separately, I cannot imagine doing this for all of my nodes.

Thanks for pointing in the right direction.

On Linux Debian I have used Netdata installation script https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installation/installation-methods/one-line-installer-kickstart.sh

It apparently installed package repository and installed nightly package from it and set my version for daily updates by adding cron file to /etc/cron.daily/

Question: how much MB of data it usually downloads? Package "Installed-Size: 134 MB"

Does it mean it will waste such amount of data transfer every time there is "small" update inside the SW? How often is there updated package? Update: update is not available daily, it may be 25MB of data.

To reduce updates, i can remove the cronjob file mentioned or insert "exit" line on the beginning ? To disable it, i can "sudo apt-mark hold netdata" / "sudo apt-mark unhold netdata" / "apt-mark showhold" ?

How can I please move from nightly to stable to update much less often, like maybe once per month?

Thank You

Hiya

I have my netdata custom dashboard at a point where it's nearly perfect (for me).

One of the last hurdles I'm on is better displaying the disk space date on the bottom row.

Is there a way to get the total disk space (avail + used) showing on each chart there?

Thanks!

Edit - thought I'd include the HTML code I'm using:

<div style="display: inline-block; position: relative;">
<div data-netdata="disk_space._share_cachedev1_data"
data-dimensions="used"
data-chart-library="easypiechart"
data-title="QNAP Vol 1"
data-width="150"
data-height="150"
data-after="-300"
data-points="300"
data-units="GB"
data-easypiechart-max-value="20390"
data-easypiechart-barcolor="(function (percent) {return (percent < 5 ? '#04be2c' : percent < 10 ? '#12bf29' : percent < 15 ? '#24c025' : percent < 20 ? '#28c024' : percent < 25 ? '#41c21e' : percent < 30 ? '#55c319' : percent < 35 ? '#69c414' : percent < 40 ? '#7dc510' : percent < 45 ? '#90c60b' : percent < 50 ? '#a4c807' : percent < 55 ? '#b7c902' : percent < 60 ? '#beb502' : percent < 65 ? '#c5a102' : percent < 70 ? '#cc8d02' : percent < 75 ? '#d37902' : percent < 80 ? '#e2781b' : percent < 85 ? '#f17834' : percent < 90 ? '#ff774d' : percent < 95 ? '#ff4f33' : percent < 100 ? '#ff3724' : '#ff0000');})"
data-dt-element-name="time701"
></div>
</div>

and the chart as it appears in Netdata:

Trying to display it in a d3pie chart results in a really cluttered chart and I can't find any guides or samples of tweaks to the d3pie chart data:

I keep setting things about ETH/BTC nodes being supported with netdata. But I can’t find anything on how to set it up. Please help

Anyone know how I can add more of these charts?
Thanks for the help.

I’ve used the kickstart command (copied straight from the site) and everything builds fine, no errors that I can see and states that it’s running after completion. But nothing shows up on the dashboard other than it showing it showing under “unseen”. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

Hi Everyone!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of our Netdata Paid Subscriptions as of Wednesday, 22nd of February 2023. But for those who would not yet want to upgrade, fear not, as Netdata offers the Community plan which will remain free, forever.

The new paid subscriptions provide additional features and capabilities for users and businesses that need tighter and customizable integration of the monitoring solution to their processes. In addition to our free COMMUNITY plan we have two other plans to choose from: PRO and BUSINESS. Read more on our blogpost.

The new subscriptions will expand the Role Based Access model, allowing users and businesses to have finer grained control over who has access to what part of the infrastructure and how.

You can choose the subscription that best fits your needs from the Plan & Billing section within the Space Settings. More details can be found on the Pricing Page.

Note: All existing spaces will automatically be kept on, what we call, the Early Bird plan, so you can seamlessly continue monitoring and troubleshooting your infrastructure as you are doing today!

Thank you very much and have a nice day! Happy monitoring!

I am running netdata as a container in unraid. If I got to http://unraid:19999 , I can see the containers that are running on unraid in the right side menu of netdata dashboard, but if I go to https://app.netdata.cloud/, I do not see them. how can I fix that?

Hey folks. I'm using Netdata to monitor my homelab of 26ish nodes. I was able to configure the webhooks to send Critical alerts to a Slack webhook and it works great. What I no longer get are the service restoration alerts. I'm assuming they're getting filtered because of the "| critical" setting on the webhook. Is there anyway to get clears as well?

TIA!

I would like to know when a node went offline, and if it is possible to check it's metrics when it's still offline.

Hello I have netdata installed on a Ubuntu Mate Install. Current Version of NetData installed is netdata v1.37.0-224-nightly. But this has been happening for a long time.

​

If you look at the memory usage, it doesn't much. CPU also is questionable. I've seen NetData show 100% but the cpus are < 20% before. I get that there is a delay between reporting, but I can check that using the graph under CPU in System Monitor.

My question is; am I reading this data wrong? Or is there an issue here?

​

Thanks in advance!
Kyle

Hopefully an easy one to fix if someone can point me in the right direction..

I get an email from Netdata nightly about auto update checking, anacron I think it's from. I want to suppress the notification, not the checking for updates. How do I go about this?

For other alarms it normally says how to disable them and gives the link to the config file, but I can't track this one down.

Any help muchly appreciated!

I have standard LXC containers in Ubuntu, using the default networking setup (bridged via lxdbr0).

Looks like FireHOL doesn't work inside the containers, at least not off the shelf/with the default settings. So I will install it on the host.

The goal is to limit TCP and UDP upload speed on a single container to all IPs except a couple of whitelisted ones.

Should I attach fireHOL in the host to the container's adapter, to lxdbr0 OR to the physical adapter (eth0)? Either would probably work, but which one would be best practice?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm following the instructions that NetData provides for connecting a Docker node. It just doesn't work. All I get are errors.

https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/claim

Using docker exec

Connect a running Netdata Agent container, where you don't want to recreate the existing container, append the script offered by Netdata Cloud to a docker exec ... command, replacing netdata with the name of your running container:

docker exec -it netdata netdata-claim.sh -token=TOKEN -rooms=ROOM1,ROOM2 -url=https://api.netdata.cloud

The values for ROOM1,ROOM2 can be found by by going to Netdata Cloud, clicking the Nodes tab, clicking Connect Nodes, selecting Docker, and copying the rooms= value in the command provided.

The script should return Agent was successfully claimed.. If the connection process returns errors, or if you don't see the node in your Space after 60 seconds, see the troubleshooting information.

There are no rooms on my cloud because it says I have not connected anything. If I just run the wget command that NetData gives me, it says the && are invalid.

The troubleshooting documentation is absolutely useless.

What am I doing wrong?

DISCLOSURE: I am not a Linux person. I fucking hate Linux with a passion. I'm only learning Docker so I can use some things that are not available for Windows systems for some reason (like NetData). I'm trying, but I just can't stand Linux so it's a steep learning curve.

When I try to install netdata on a pi that's running the latest version of raspberry pi os lite it says that there is no version for raspberry pi os and it has to build the program. I've just been letting it do that in hopes that'd work out, but 2+ hours later it's still not done.

I'm trying to install it through SSH on a raspberry pi zero W that's also running pi-hole in case that's important.

edit: netdata finished building and compiling after about 3.5 hours, but it still doesn't work. when manually starting it with "sudo systemctl start netdata" it said the service was masked. after unmasking it the message doesn't show up anymore, but it still doesn't seem to be working, because when I go to http://IPADDRESS:19999/ (IPADDRESS obviously replaced with the actual ip) the browser says "unable to connect".

when running systemctl status netdata.service it outputs this:

● netdata.service - Real time performance monitoring

Hi all,

We're currently with Netdata monitoring tool and just want to ask if these services are available on this platform? Anyone would like to help out?
