## Install prerequisites/dependencies
|
|
|
|
To install Netdata on pfSense, first enable the [FreeBSD package repo](https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/freebsd-pkg-repo.html)
|
|
Then run the following command (within a shell or under the **Diagnostics/Command**
|
|
prompt within the pfSense web interface).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg install -y pkgconf bash e2fsprogs-libuuid libuv nano
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run the following commands to download various dependencies from the FreeBSD repository.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
pkg install json-c-0.15_1
|
|
pkg install py39-certifi-2023.5.7
|
|
pkg install py39-asn1crypto
|
|
pkg install py39-pycparser
|
|
pkg install py39-cffi
|
|
pkg install py39-six
|
|
pkg install py39-cryptography
|
|
pkg install py39-idna
|
|
pkg install py39-openssl
|
|
pkg install py39-pysocks
|
|
pkg install py39-urllib3
|
|
pkg install py39-yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ If any of the above commands return a `Not Found` error, you need to manually search for the latest package in the
|
|
> [FreeBSD repository](https://www.freebsd.org/ports/) or by running `pkg search`. Search for the package's name, such as `py37-cffi`, find the
|
|
> latest version number, and update the command accordingly.
|
|
>
|
|
> ⚠️ On pfSense 2.4.5, Python version 3.7 may be installed by the system, in which case you should should not install
|
|
> Python from the FreeBSD repository as instructed above.
|
|
>
|
|
> ⚠️ If you are using the `apcupsd` collector, you need to make sure that apcupsd is up before starting Netdata.
|
|
> Otherwise a infinitely running `cat` process triggered by the default activated apcupsd charts plugin will eat up CPU
|
|
> and RAM (`/tmp/.netdata-charts.d-*/run-*`). This also applies to `OPNsense`.
|
|
|
|
## Install Netdata
|
|
|
|
You can now install Netdata from the FreeBSD repository.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg install netdata
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> ⚠️ If the above command returns a `Not Found` error, you need to manually search for the latest version of Netdata in
|
|
> the [FreeBSD repository](https://www.freebsd.org/ports/). Search for `netdata`, find the latest version number, and
|
|
> update the command accordingly.
|
|
|
|
You must edit `/usr/local/etc/netdata/netdata.conf` and change `bind to = 127.0.0.1` to `bind to = 0.0.0.0`.
|
|
|
|
To start Netdata manually, run `service netdata onestart`.
|
|
|
|
Visit the Netdata dashboard to confirm it's working: `http://<pfsenseIP>:19999`
|
|
|
|
To start Netdata automatically every boot, add `service netdata onestart` as a Shellcmd entry within the pfSense web
|
|
interface under **Services/Shellcmd**. You'll need to install the Shellcmd package beforehand under **System/Package
|
|
Manager/Available Packages**. The Shellcmd Type should be set to `Shellcmd`.
|
|
 Alternatively more information can be found in
|
|
<https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_Packages>, for achieving the same via the command line and
|
|
scripts.
|
|
|
|
If you experience an issue with `/usr/bin/install` being absent in pfSense 2.3 or earlier, update pfSense or use a
|
|
workaround from <https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6643>
|
|
|
|
**Note:** In pfSense, the Netdata configuration files are located under `/usr/local/etc/netdata`.
