Netdata monitoring

Installs Netdata for live CPU, memory, disk and network charts, reachable only through an SSH port forward.

Runs on

  • Debian / Ubuntu: supported
  • RHEL / Fedora: supported — RHEL-compatible systems, using EPEL.
  • Alpine: supported
  • Not on fedora — Fedora doesn't package Netdata.

What it changes on your server

  • Installs Netdata from your distribution (EPEL on RHEL-compatible systems).
  • Makes its dashboard listen on 127.0.0.1:19999 only, and starts it at boot.

What Shellbay asks you

Nothing. This workflow needs no details from you.

Steps

  1. Prepare packages
  2. Install Netdata
  3. Listen on this server only
  4. Start Netdata and enable it at boot
  5. Check the dashboard is local only

Shellbay checks the server before the first step, and stops at the first step that fails.

When it's done

  • In Shellbay, add a local port forward 19999 → 127.0.0.1:19999 to this host, then open http://localhost:19999.
