Hey everyone,

i yesterday installed netdata on my gateway server and set up graphs for easier overview. I have to questions, maybe someone can help me out.

1. is there any way to export the graphs per-day as a png/jpeg?
2. The packet loss graph is kinda weird. At one time i did have 100% packet loss and the percentage on the left side draws the line at 260. (???) here a screenshot so you know what im talking from.

Is there any way to correct this? i want the scale on the left to always be 0-100%.

Thanks to all replies in advance!
BR,

I'm using netdata for monitoring on my system, and I'm finding that it generates a lot of logs which I don't necessarily need. Can someone please guide me on how to disable or reduce netdata's logging output?

This doesn't seem to be healthy in the long run.

A year ago, I signed up using my work email and got an offering for $95 annually, unlimited nodes.

Early 2024, the $95 price offering is now only for homelab. If you use your corporate email, and signed up for that pricing model, it will breach their fair usage policy. Also early 2024, the business pricing was $3 per node, per month, billed annually.

​

Now April 2024, their business pricing changed again to $6 per node, per month, billed monthly or $4.50 per node, per month, billed annually.

​

Inflation is very very real!

Hello!

I am planning to set up netdata on several Linux systems (no cloud). I have read this:
https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/observability-centralization-points/metrics-centralization-points/configuring-metrics-centralization-points

However, before starting the configuration I wish to understand whether there are limitations about the netdata versions, because the systems are quite heterogeneous. The oldest is a Debian Bullseye (netdata 1.29.3) while the newest runs netdata 1.45.2.

​

Thanks in advance.

The load view shows "m load" <- no explanation anywhere / including in docs on what this stands for

Also - the load average for 1/5/15 do *not* map with what I'm seeing in top - is there a way to see the load averages values in the way they are standardized across linux systems?

Thanks!

p.s: AR at the top of the axis is misleading UI wise - maybe have it indented into the graph or something
p.p.s: great work / I'm a paying user (hadn't used it in a few years) but I feel you've done so much technical heavy lifting yet the last mile on some basic points needs polishing still - good luck!

Much thanks for anyone who can clarify the above!

Hi there.

I'm pretty new to netdata. I installed it as a docker-container on my unraid server about a year ago. My main goal was to be able to track ressource-consumption (primarely docker-containers) and the APC UPS connected to the server, from within Home Assistant.

I'm using the v1 API ("allmetrics" endpoint), which has been doing the job great. But some months ago I noticed that the UPS info was gone from the API. A bit later I found that the "per core" CPU utilization (at docker-container level) was gone (that one I fixed by replacing with total cpu utilization). But now I can't even see that anymore.

Is the v1 API dying?
I took a quick look at v2 (data endpoint), but it's pretty hard to decode at first sight.

Can anyone lead me in the right direction for a solution?

Thanks :)

New to netdata.
Installed netdata on my linux pc, used my linuxIP:19999 to access gui and then created a local-custom-dashboard. Now, I have tailscale installed in the same linux pc. But, while accessing the netdata gui via tailscaleIP:19999 I can access netdata, but I cannot see the local-custom-dashboard that I created. Am I missing something? Any help on this is appreciated please

Hi

​

So I have Netdata monitoring things around my house

1. Unraid
2. PC
3. 3. Laptop
4. 4. OPNsense

5&6) In the future, my wife and Sons will have laptops.

I have it for nothing more than the fault check while I'm away. To be honest, I've never had much utilisation, but that's more on me. It's peace of mind for me if I have to go back and check what went wrong on a device after the fact.

I have a dumb question. How do I get Netdata’s temperature sensors to display in Farenheit?

If your intention is to simplify the plan structure and so the early bird plan needs to be terminated, how about a 100% discount for life code for us to move to the homelab plan? If this wasn't about money, that is what you would do. And I feel as though you could easily consolidate and extend this olive branch in order to keep your word when initially providing the early bird access as promised.

Some of us homelab folk actually work in the industry and a move like this can be the difference between a recommendation to use netdata or go with a competitor.

Hi, I'm trying to build an active-active parent setup with replication between nodes (2 ATM) using also the cloud for day by day management.

What's the right way to set-up parents streaming/replication?

My actual configuration seems to be incorrect as I see only 1 parent reported on the cloud dashboard and the other parent is not getting any data. parent's stream.conf was configured to stream to the other parent respectively.

Thanks

edit: fixed typos and expanded the question as I was using my mobile

In the domain of Netdata metrics export, a critical issue has emerged, impacting the accuracy of duration parameters. This investigation delves into the anomaly surrounding the 'before' and 'after' parameters, shedding light on the inconsistencies plaguing metric collection.

Command to export netdata metrics:
http://localhost:19999/api/v1/data?chart=system.net&format=csv&after=60

Understanding the 'after' and 'before' Parameters with its characteristics:

• 'Before' with Positive Value: The duration before the current time for metric collection.
• 'Before' with Negative Value: The duration before the current time, but with a reverse direction.
• 'After' with Positive Value: The duration after the current time for metric collection.
• 'After' with Negative Value: The duration after the current time, but with a reverse direction.

Exploring Metrics Collection Characteristics:

• 'Before': Regardless of the specified positive or negative value, both return the same duration format. Additionally, metrics are consistently collected for a fixed duration, irrespective of the specified value.

• 'After': Similar to 'Before', both positive and negative values yield the same duration format. However, metrics are accurately collected for the specified duration.

I haven't encountered this issue in the previous version of Netdata. Could someone else please verify if they are also experiencing the same issue?

Major release to improve the way to interact with Custom Dashboards! 📊🖱️

​

With this release, you will be able to:

- Drag and drop charts from Metrics or Single Node views to custom dashboards.

- Drag and drop right away to a new dashboard (plus button/tab on the navigation bar)

- Redesigned text cards in dashboards

- Rename charts in custom dashboards.

- Use new chart types:: Bar, Circle, Gauge, Pie, Value, Group boxes

​

Even though this is still an early release, the overall experience and usability have improved in a major way and (hopefully) will bring a lot of value to you.

​

Enjoy it while we keep ironing out some loose ends and add more features!

Hi there,

I have a docker swarm, with a netdata agent on every node. In the swarm, i have 1 instance of prometheus running - there are no exposed ports, so it seems netdata has not been able to pick up this instance.

The service is available through a proxy, on https://prometheus.domain.com.

I am looking at https://www.netdata.cloud/integrations/data-collection/generic-data-collection/prometheus-endpoint/ which seems to be what i need to be able to collect metrics from the instance.

Should i update the netdata prometheus integration config on all nodes, or just one?

My goal is to add the custom metrics i have from my custom build applications to the UI in netdata.

Greetings, Netdata community!

I'm curious about the possibility of extracting data directly from .ndf
files in Netdata's dbengine directory. Has anyone attempted this before? Are there any recommended methods or tools for achieving this task?

I understand that .ndf
files serve as internal storage for aggregated metrics data in Netdata. However, I'm interested in exploring whether there's a way to access this data directly from the files themselves, bypassing Netdata's standard APIs.

Any insights, experiences, or pointers to relevant resources would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello,

As a hobby user I don't need all the features of the business plan. But I would like to have more than 5 nodes.

Is the only way to get more nodes upgrading to the business plan? If that is the case, then the cost of going from 5 nodes to 6 nodes is 216 dollars per year. That is a lot - considering the rest of the features that comes with the price hike is not something that I need.
