Netdata package is now available in XCP-ng
-
Yes it's pretty simple, in a VM it's fine
https://xcp-ng.org/docs/install.html
Then, about our dev process, a recap: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/develprocess.html#development-process-tour
But @stormi can guide you

@olivierlambert cool, going to give it a go. Do you know of any GCP or AWS based guides or material to help?
I don't actually have any physical hardware available so all the use and boot stuff kinda throws me off (maybe I'm over thinking it). Maybe there is a way to boot a gcp VM or any images I could find in some gcp marketplace or anything?
Going to do more googling and reading but just mentioning in case you know of any specific stuff. I see @lawrencesystems also has some cool yt videos which have been really useful in learning about the concepts and ideas, but I'm kinda looking for a some gcp or aws based tutorial or steps.

I think it's a netinstall like this that maybe I need to start with
https://xcp-ng.org/docs/install.html#iso-installation
And then I "have" the iso on the VM and so can go as normal from there.
If so, Amy tips on what gcp VM if any might be easiest to try start with?
Cheers!

Ah that's a good question, I think I never tried to install it in an instance.
The easiest path would be likely to rent a cheap dedicated server. We also have a partnership with Equinix on their Cloud Metal offer.
Alternatively, if you like, we can provide you access to a test machine in there (or in our lab) so you can explore a bit

apologies if this was covered. is it possible to link a xcp-ng host to the netdata.cloud?
-
@stormi Does XCP-ng support the v1.37.1 of netdata now?
yum install netdata-ui
installs v1.19.0, which doesn't look compatible with netdata cloud anymore. When attempting to add the node to netdata cloud, it fails with the errorUnable to find usable claiming script. Reinstalling Netdata may resolve this.
-
@wawa Not yet, but it's planned, hoping that their latest releases remain compatible with our base system.
-
@stormi Is it known that a newer version of Netdata breaks the hypervisor? I'm happy to try it myself in a test environment but if it's known to break things or just not work it'll save me a bit of time.
-
@wyatt-made No such thing is known. I just haven't checked the compatibility yet.
-
Was searching around to see how I could enable with more current version of Netdata (with cloud support) - did this effort go stale?
thanks
-
@grapesmc at one point I had the idea to set up a xcp-ng build environment and build netdata in there, then simply copy it over to the xcp-ng hosts. Unfortunately I was not able to dedicate the time to this so far.
