Netdata Agent Configuration
The main Netdata Agent configuration is netdata.conf.
The Netdata config directory
On most Linux systems, the Netdata config
directory will be /etc/netdata/. The config directory contains several configuration files with the .conf extension, a
few directories, and a shell script named edit-config.
Some operating systems will use
/opt/netdata/etc/netdata/as the config directory. If you're not sure where yours is, navigate tohttp://NODE:19999/netdata.confin your browser, replacingNODEwith the IP address or hostname of your node, and find the# config directory =setting. The value listed is the config directory for your system.
All of Netdata's documentation assumes that your config directory is at /etc/netdata, and that you're running any scripts from inside that directory.
Edit a configuration file using edit-config
We recommend the use of the edit-config script for configuration changes.
It exists inside your config directory (read above) and helps manage and safely edit configuration files.
To edit netdata.conf, run this on your terminal:
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
Your editor will open.
downloading netdata.conf
The running version of netdata.conf can be downloaded from a running Netdata Agent, at this URL:
http://agent-ip:19999/netdata.conf
You can save and use this version, using these commands:
cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
curl -ksSLo /tmp/netdata.conf.new http://localhost:19999/netdata.conf && sudo mv -i /tmp/netdata.conf.new netdata.conf
