Docker Pulls GitHub Stars Compose Templates

Description

Netdata is distributed, real-time performance and health monitoring for systems and applications. It is a highly-optimized monitoring agent you install on all your systems and containers.

Install/Setup

This application does not have any specific setup instructions documented. If you need assistance setting up this application please visit our support page.

Changing Netdata's Hostname

By default, Netdata will pull from a UID for the container itself to display in the list of Netdata servers you have, so you would see something like '0f2342dac'. To define this and make it more readable/recognizable for you (In case you have multiple Netdata servers):

services:
  netdata:
    hostname: newnetdataname
  • Once this is done, run ds -c netdata

Notifications

Add this file to your Netdata config directory. Populate the notification service(s) you want with login, tokens, or whichever is appropriate. Instructions can be found in here.

Create health.d directory in the Netdata config directory. Add .conf files from here and select which modules you want alarms for. Also note that one can remove specific alarms by commenting them in the .conf files.

How To Get CPU Temp From Raspberry Pi

Netdata will not pick up CPU temps by default from a Raspberry Pi. To activate chart for the Pi's CPU temp add a file with name charts.d.conf in the Netdata config directory and add the following line. sensors=force

How To Get Data From Netdata To HomeAssistant

To identify the correct data group and element to input in netdata home assistant component use http://yournetdataip:19999/api/v1/allmetrics?format=json

Monitor services with Netdata

Create python.d directory in Netdata config directory. Add this file to your python.d directory. Edit according to instructions in file. Our suggestion is to add after the last line in the .conf file. See example below:

# This plugin is intended for simple cases. Currently, the accuracy of the response time is low and should be used as reference only.

Hydra:
    url: 'http://192.168.86.60:5076/nzbhydra/'
    timeout: 1
    redirect: no
    status_accepted:
        - 200
    regex: '.*hydra.*'

Ombi:
    url: 'http://192.168.86.60:3579/ombi/landingpage'
    timeout: 1
    redirect: yes
    status_accepted:
        - 200
    regex: '.*ombi.*'

You will now get charts in Netdata for Ombi and NZBHydra. Please add your IP and ports accordingly.

To get alarms add this file to your health.d directory. Don't forget to comment the unwanted alarms. Slow response alarms can be quite annoying.
