Good way to monitor carbon servers - Netdata v1.2.0

Netdata is a monitoring tool for real-time systems Linux that will allow us to visualize the core specs of a system such as CPU, memory, speed of the hard disk, network traffic, application, etc.. This basically shows most of the details we can get from Linux performance tools. This is similar to Netflix Vector. Netdata focuses on the real-time visualization only. Currently, the data is stored only in memory and there is a plan to store historical data in some data store in a future version. The biggest strength of Netdata is ease of use. It only takes 3 minutes to start using it. Let me show you how easy it is to getting started with it on a ubuntu server,


      1. First, prepare your ubuntu server by installing required packages.



$ apt-get install zlib1g-dev uuid-dev libmnl-dev gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkg-config

      2. Clone/Download the netdata source and go the netdata directory.


$ git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git --depth=1
cd netdata

      3. Then install netdata.


$ ./netdata-installer.sh

      4. After installation complete kill the running Netdata instance.


$ killall netdata

      5. Start again Netdata.


$ /usr/sbin/netdata



      6Now open a new browser tab and enter blow URL,

http://<HostName>:19999

If you're running this on your local machine the URL should be http://localhost:19999.

That it!! Now Netdata is up and running in your machine/server/VM.




Netdata is developed using C language. the installation is simple and the resources used are extremely small, actually takes less than 2% CPU

After going through all the cons and pros I believe this will be a good way to monitor carbon servers remotely.
