Package: netdata Version: 1.8.0+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I've been trying to setup netdata monitoring on several debian servers. Unfortunately I found out that debian packaged netdata behaves differently than manually installed netdata from https://github.com/firehol/netdata/wiki/Installation.
I've created a virtual machine and installed latest netdata with default config. Here are partition details of the virtual machine: ~# cat /proc/self/mountinfo 17 22 0:17 / /sys rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:7 - sysfs sysfs rw 18 22 0:4 / /proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:12 - proc proc rw 19 22 0:6 / /dev rw,nosuid,relatime shared:2 - devtmpfs udev rw,size=1005780k,nr_inodes=251445,mode=755 20 19 0:18 / /dev/pts rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime shared:3 - devpts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000 21 22 0:19 / /run rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime shared:5 - tmpfs tmpfs rw,size=203384k,mode=755 22 0 8:1 / / rw,relatime shared:1 - ext4 /dev/sda1 rw,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 23 17 0:16 / /sys/kernel/security rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:8 - securityfs securityfs rw 24 19 0:20 / /dev/shm rw,nosuid,nodev shared:4 - tmpfs tmpfs rw 25 21 0:21 / /run/lock rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:6 - tmpfs tmpfs rw,size=5120k 26 17 0:22 / /sys/fs/cgroup ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec shared:9 - tmpfs tmpfs ro,mode=755 27 26 0:23 / /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:10 - cgroup cgroup rw,xattr,release_agent=/lib/systemd/systemd-cgroups-agent,name=systemd 28 17 0:24 / /sys/fs/pstore rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:11 - pstore pstore rw 29 26 0:25 / /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpuacct rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:13 - cgroup cgroup rw,cpu,cpuacct 30 26 0:26 / /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:14 - cgroup cgroup rw,blkio 31 26 0:27 / /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls,net_prio rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:15 - cgroup cgroup rw,net_cls,net_prio 32 26 0:28 / /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:16 - cgroup cgroup rw,perf_event 33 26 0:29 / /sys/fs/cgroup/pids rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:17 - cgroup cgroup rw,pids 34 26 0:30 / /sys/fs/cgroup/memory rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:18 - cgroup cgroup rw,memory 35 26 0:31 / /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:19 - cgroup cgroup rw,cpuset 36 26 0:32 / /sys/fs/cgroup/devices rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:20 - cgroup cgroup rw,devices 37 26 0:33 / /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime shared:21 - cgroup cgroup rw,freezer 38 18 0:34 / /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc rw,relatime shared:22 - autofs systemd-1 rw,fd=27,pgrp=1,timeout=0,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct,pipe_ino=11032 40 17 0:7 / /sys/kernel/debug rw,relatime shared:23 - debugfs debugfs rw 39 19 0:35 / /dev/hugepages rw,relatime shared:24 - hugetlbfs hugetlbfs rw 41 19 0:15 / /dev/mqueue rw,relatime shared:25 - mqueue mqueue rw 188 38 0:39 / /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc rw,relatime shared:107 - binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 221 17 0:41 / /sys/fs/fuse/connections rw,relatime shared:144 - fusectl fusectl rw 179 21 0:40 / /run/user/1000 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime shared:140 - tmpfs tmpfs rw,size=203380k,mode=700,uid=1000,gid=1000 Manually installed netdata (from binaries) displays following partitions under Disks menu: sda - i/o stats / - disk space and inodes count /dev - disk space and inodes count /dev/shm - disk space and inodes count /run - disk space and inodes count /run/lock - disk space and inodes count Debian packaged netdata displays completely different partition configuration: sda - i/o stats /tmp - disk space and inodes count /var - disk space and inodes count /var/tmp - disk space and inodes count Debian packaged netdata unfortunately fails to detect correctly disks on my servers therefore monitoring them is not very reliable and I haven't found a way to fix the partitions manually in netdata config. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages netdata depends on: ii adduser 3.116 ii init-system-helpers 1.50 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcap2-bin 1:2.25-1.1 ii libuuid1 2.30.2-0.1 ii lsb-base 9.20170808 ii netdata-data 1.8.0+dfsg-1 ii python 2.7.14-1 ii python-urllib3 1.21.1-1 ii python-yaml 3.12-1+b1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages netdata recommends: ii curl 7.55.1-1 pn fping <none> pn nodejs <none> netdata suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/netdata/netdata.conf changed [not included] /etc/netdata/python.d/smartd_log.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information
