Netdata

Installing

Run:

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

Note: Do not use sudo - `kickstart.sh` will escalate when necessary.

netdata will ask to install libssl-dev which conflicts with npm. In order to prevent it uninstalling npm, just decline the install of libssl-dev, and netdata should install ok regardless.

Upgrading

Netdata installation creates /etc/cron.daily/netdata-update which should automatically update nightly.

Configuration

Netdata config is stored in `/etc/netdata`
