Netdata

Netdata Documentation

Here are some often used / often needed information related to netdata that I have to lookup often and would rather just document in a single location for future reference.

Installation

Documenation: https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/packaging/installer#automatic-one-line-installation-script

Command:

bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)

Reclaiming a node

Documentation: https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/claim#remove-and-reclaim-a-node

This step is needed when cloning servers as cloned servers will attempt to connect using the same server ID. First remove the existing server credentials:

cd /var/lib/netdata
sudo rm -rf cloud.d/

Then reclaim the node with: -id=$(uuidgen) appended to the end of the standard claim command.

Restarting netdata may be required:

sudo service netdata restart
