Installing Netdata on CentOS 7

hobbit666

If you have a local desktop you could navigate to http://localhost:19999/ to see the output. It's that easy. However, who has a Linux server like that? So instead we need to see this remotely. Using SSH this is very simple:
ssh you.host.com -L 19999:127.0.0.1:19999
Now from your local web browser just look at http://localhost:19999/ instead!

Don't fully get this step?
Is this so I can see the dashboard from another host?
Is you.host.com then name of the remote machine or the one that you just install Netdata on?

Yes. Those two are one and the same.

Yes, so that you can see the Netdata dashboard from where you are sitting without needing to have it exposed to the world in any way. No ports open at all.

So if I wanted to see the dashboard from a windows machine?

Exactly. But you need to enter the SSH options into Putty instead of putting them onto the command line, of course. As always... extra steps to do it in Windows

Until this summer, at least on Windows 10.

Why?

Because Windows 10 may have a native SSH client built in?

That would be the assumption, but I've heard nothing about that. Seems like that would be big news.

BASH and WSL I know about, but SSH I've not heard mentioned or implied until now.

that's very old stuff, has it been announced as actually coming? I remember this being talked about as a "someday" kind of thing. Is this actually in the works?
