netdata server resources

What is Net Data?

It’s a server resource tool that explains, in depth many things about your server.

Install Net Data

apt update
apt install rsync netdata
vim /etc/netdata/netdata.conf

Here is my netdata config:

# NetData Configuration

# The current full configuration can be retrieved from the running
# server at the URL
#
#   http://localhost:19999/netdata.conf
#
# for example:
#
#   wget -O /etc/netdata/netdata.conf http://localhost:19999/netdata.conf
#

[global]
        run as user = netdata
        web files owner = root
        web files group = root
        # Netdata is not designed to be exposed to potentially hostile
        # networks. See https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/164
        bind socket to IP = 127.0.0.1

Setup Proxy (Browser)

I use firefox but you can use anything that is socksv5 friendly. Chrome will try to proxy everything on your computer and firefox limits only the firefox traffic through the proxy.
