So do you install the "Dashboard" on a central server then the "agent" on all the others? Or do you install the "agent" on your machines and it get uploaded to the "Dashboard" online?
Get seem to grasp it from the website and install guide

@hobbit666 Hmmm..... I just install the whole thing everywhere, not sure - sorry.

OK so once you've installed it everywhere where do you go to see the overview of all the servers?
-
@aaronstuder or do you just look at the weblink on each server?

@aaronstuder said in netdata 1.5 released - big update!:
@hobbit666 Nope, it automatically see others installations on the network, and adds them to the drop down menu
How does it authenticate? That seems like a dangerous strategy.

@scottalanmiller Why would you need to authenticate? It just looks for other servers with using port 19999
So this just totally exposes your systems to the world? What about, you know, security?
-
Have you set up a data collection server yet? Or are you just using the peering system where the data is gone if the server goes down?

I have not... Maybe soon

@aaronstuder said in netdata 1.5 released - big update!:
@scottalanmiller You allow 19999 outside your hardware firewall?
I NEVER use LAN security.
-
How do you lock down when you use things like Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc.? Where you don't have a hardware firewall.

Keep in mind, this isn't just pretty charts, it has alarms too! One day when I was using bit torrent to download a bunch of Linux ISO's and mistakenly savings them to a small SSD drive, it gave me an alert that at the current data ingestion rate, my hard drive would be full in 5 hours! Very Cool

Seems like a neat product, just trying to figure out the best process for deployment. Sadly it looks to be Linux only - would be more useful if it covered more things.

FreeBSD, MacOS and FreeNAS as well. More have been coming with each release.

I plan to install it on all my servers (I just have it on a few for testing right now) and then just setup nginx to point to the "main" netdata server for authentication and SSL.
