1 # netdata configuration for aggregating data from remote hosts
3 # 1. You need an API key: API_KEY_GENERATED_BY_UUIDGEN
5 # You can generate one with the command: uuidgen
6 # You can add many API key sections, for different API keys
8 # 2. All options below are used in this order:
10 # a) MACHINE_GUID (settings for each machine)
11 # b) API_KEY (settings for the API key)
12 # c) this netdata defaults (as in netdata.conf)
14 # You can combine the above (the more specific will be used).
16 # 3. At the remote host that will be sending metrics, you need
17 # to add in netdata.conf, the following:
20 # central netdata to send all data = 10.11.12.1:19999
21 # central netdata api key = API_KEY_GENERATED_BY_UUIDGEN
23 # Of course, the same API_KEY_GENERATED_BY_UUIDGEN key must
24 # given there (the remote host) and here (the central netdata).
26 # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
28 [API_KEY_GENERATED_BY_UUIDGEN]
29 # You can disable the API key, by setting this to: no
30 # The default (for unknown API keys) is also: no
33 # The default history in entries, for all hosts using this API key.
34 # You can also set it per host below.
35 # If you don't set it here, the history size of the central netdata
37 # default history = 3600
39 # The default memory mode to be used for all hosts using this API key.
40 # You can also set it per host below.
41 # If you don't set it here, the memory mode of the central netdata
43 # default memory mode = save
45 # Shall we enable health monitoring for the hosts using this API key?
48 # no do not enable alarms
49 # auto enable alarms, only when the host is streaming metrics
50 # You can also set it per host, below.
51 # The default is the same as the central netdata
52 # health enabled by default = auto
55 # -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
56 # Each netdata has a unique GUID - generated the first time netdata starts.
57 # You can find it at /var/lib/netdata/registry/netdata.public.unique.id
58 # The host sending data will have one. If it is static and you can find it,
59 # you can give settings for each specific host here.
62 # This can be used to stop receiving data
63 # THIS IS NOT A SECURITY MECHANISM - AN ATTACKER CAN SET ANY OTHER GUID.
64 # Use only the API key for security.
67 # The number of entries in the database
70 # The memory mode of the database
73 # Health / alarms control
74 # health enabled = yes
