netdata is a metrics tool, which comes with a lot of sane preconfiguration. It contains of various plugins, which need to be enabled sometimes with additional effort.
Adding node
- Install the netdata package and enable the service.
- When adding new node in the web interface you get a token, write that token to /var/lib/netdata/cloud.d/token
- As root run
nix-shell -p netdata --run "netdata-claim.sh"
Streaming node setup
Ensure you choose appropriate access control for your nodes.
Receiver node
services.netdata.configDir."stream.conf" =
let
mkChildNode = apiKey: allowFrom: ''
[${apiKey}]
enabled = yes
default history = <a value of your choice>
default memory mode = dbengine # a good default
health enabled by default = auto
allow from = ${allowFrom}
'';
in pkgs.writeText "stream.conf" ''
[stream]
# This won't stream by itself, except if the receiver is a sender too, which is possible in netdata model.
enabled = no
enable compression = yes
# An allowed sender node
${mkChildNode "an API key" "an allowed IP"}
'';
Sender node
services.netdata.configDir."stream.conf" = pkgs.writeText "stream.conf" ''
[stream]
enabled = yes
destination = receiver-hostname-or-ip-address:19999
api key = any string that is set also on the receiver side
'';
If you don't need any web UI and want to consume minimal resources on the sender node, use:
services.netdata = {
config = {
global = { "memory mode" = "none"; };
web = {
mode = "none";
"accept a streaming request every seconds" = 0;
};
};
};
This way, it won't spawn any web UI, neither store any metric locally.
Python Plugins
nvidia-smi
To enable the nvidia-smi
plugin you have to make sure nvidia-smi
can be called by netdata
.
systemd.services.enable = true;
systemd.services.netdata.path = [pkgs.linuxPackages.nvidia_x11];
services.netdata.configDir."python.d.conf" = pkgs.writeText "python.d.conf" ''
nvidia_smi: yes
'';
samba
To enable samba
plugin additional permissions and configurations will need to be set.
services.netdata.configDir."python.d.conf" = pkgs.writeText "python.d.conf" ''
samba: yes
'';
# add samba and sudo to path of python plugin
systemd.services.netdata.path = [ pkgs.samba "/run/wrappers" ];
# permit to run sudo smbstatus -P
security.sudo.extraConfig = ''
netdata ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ${pkgs.samba}/bin/smbstatus
'';
# as documented here : https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/system/netdata.service.in
# review capabilityset above if other plugins are non functional
systemd.services.netdata.serviceConfig.CapabilityBoundingSet = ["CAP_SETGID"];
# enable profiling
services.samba.extraConfig = ''
smbd profiling level = on
'';
