Example module in Python

You can add custom data collectors using Python.

Netdata provides an example python data collection module.

If you want to write your own collector, read our writing a new Python module tutorial.

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot issues with the example module, run the python.d.plugin with the debug option enabled. The output will give you the output of the data collection job or error messages on why the collector isn't working.

First, navigate to your plugins directory, usually they are located under /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/. If that's not the case on your system, open netdata.conf and look for the setting plugins directory. Once you're in the plugin's directory, switch to the netdata user.

cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata

Now you can manually run the example module in debug mode:

./python.d.plugin example debug trace
