To Install Netdata On Linux Mint 20.2

Introduction :

Netdata is an open source tool designed to collect real-time metrics, such as CPU usage, disk activity, bandwidth usage, website visits, etc., and then display them in live, easy-to-interpret charts.

Step 1 : Check the version of the OS

root@linuxhelp:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Linuxmint
Description:	Linux Mint 20.2
Release:	20.2
Codename:	uma

Step 2 : Installing netdata by running the kickstart.sh script

root@linuxhelp:~# bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
System            : Linux
Operating System  : GNU/Linux
Machine           : x86_64

To enable it run:

    echo 1 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run
    echo 1000 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs

If you enable it, you will save 40-60% of netdata memory.

 --- Check version.txt --- 
 --- Check apps.plugin --- 
 --- Copy uninstaller --- 
 --- Basic netdata instructions --- 

netdata by default listens on all IPs on port 19999,
so you can access it with:

  http://this.machine.ip:19999/

To stop netdata run:

  systemctl stop netdata

To start netdata run:

  systemctl start netdata

Uninstall script copied to: /usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-uninstaller.sh

 --- Installing (but not enabling) the netdata updater tool --- 
Failed to disable unit: Unit file netdata-updater.timer does not exist.
Update script is located at /usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-updater.sh

 --- Check if we must enable/disable the netdata updater tool --- 
Auto-updating has been enabled through cron, updater script linked to /etc/cron.daily/netdata-updater

If the update process fails and you have email notifications set up correctly for cron on this system, you should receive an email notification of the failure.
Successful updates will not send an email.

 --- Wrap up environment set up --- 
Preparing .environment file
[/tmp/netdata-kickstart-23o3iTVom9/netdata-v1.32.1-24-gc6ba97f57]# chmod 0644 /etc/netdata/.environment 
 OK   

Setting netdata.tarball.checksum to 'new_installation'

 --- We are done! ---

 OK  

Step 3 : check the netdata running status by using default port number

root@linuxhelp:~# netstat -tulnp | grep 19999
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:19999           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      47883/netdata       
tcp6       0      0 :::19999                :::*                    LISTEN      47883/netdata       

Step 4 : check the status of netdata

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl status netdata

Step 5 : Allow the netdata default portnumber on firewall

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw allow 19999/tcp
Rules updated
Rules updated (v6)

Step 6 : Restart the firewall

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw reload
Firewall not enabled (skipping reload)

Step 7 : Enable the firewall

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup

Step 8 : Restart the firewall

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw reload
Firewall reloaded

Step 9 : check the status of firewall

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw status
Status: active
