About NetData
NetData is a free,
simple, yet useful utility that provides the real-time performance
monitoring for your Linux systems, applications, SNMP devices, and
visualize the result in a web browser with comprehensive detail. So, you
can clearly get an idea of what is happening now, and what happened
before in your Linux systems and applications. You don’t need to be an
expert to deploy this tool in your Linux systems. NetData
just works fine out of the box with zero configuration, and zero
dependencies. Just install this utility and sit back, NetData will take
care of the rest.
It has
its own built-in webserver to display the result in graphical format.
NetData is incredibly fast and efficient, and it will immediately start
to analyze the performance of your system in no time after installing
it. It is written using C programming language, so it
is extremely light weight. It consumes less than 3% of a single core CPU
usage and a 10-15MB of RAM. We can easily embed the charts with any
existing web pages, and also it has a plugin API, so that you can
monitor any application.
Here is the list of things that will be monitored by NetData utility in your Linux system.

Install NetData On Arch Linux
The latest version is available in the Arch Linux default repositories. So, we can install it with pacman using command:
sudo pacman -S netdata
Install NetData in Arch Linux
After the daemon has been started for the first time, download the default config file from http://127.0.0.1:19999/netdata.conf Copy it to /etc/netdata/ and modify it. Optional dependencies for netdata nodejs: Webbox plugin
NetData installation completed
Finally, start NetData service using command:
sudo /usr/sbin/netdata
Install NetData on DEB or RPM based systems
NetData is not available in DEB based
(Ubuntu / Debian) or RPM based (RHEL / CentOS / Fedora) systems. We need
to install NetData using its repository.
First install the required dependencies:
On Ubuntu / Debian distros:
sudo apt-get install curl jq nodejs zlib1g-dev uuid-dev libmnl-dev gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkg-config
On RHEL / CentOS / Fedora distros:
sudo yum install curl jq nodejs zlib-devel libuuid-devel libmnl-devel gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkgconfig
After installing the required dependencies, install NetData on DEB or RPM based systems as shown below.
Git clone the NetData repository:
git clone https://github.com/firehol/netdata.git --depth=1
The above command will create a directory called ‘netdata’:
Cloning into 'netdata'... remote: Counting objects: 279, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (261/261), done. remote: Total 279 (delta 11), reused 118 (delta 1), pack-reused 0 Receiving objects: 100% (279/279), 1.64 MiB | 246.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (11/11), done. Checking connectivity... done.
Change to the ‘netdata’ directory:
cd netdata/
Finally, install and start NetData using command:
sudo ./netdata-installer.sh
Sample output:
Welcome to netdata! Nice to see you are giving it a try! You are about to build and install netdata to your system. It will be installed at these locations: - the daemon at /usr/sbin/netdata - config files at /etc/netdata - web files at /usr/share/netdata - plugins at /usr/libexec/netdata - cache files at /var/cache/netdata - db files at /var/lib/netdata - log files at /var/log/netdata - pid file at /var/run This installer allows you to change the installation path. Press Control-C and run the same command with --help for help. Press ENTER to build and install netdata to your system > ## Press ENTER key
After installing NetData, you will see the following output at the end:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK. NetData is installed and it is running (listening to *:19999). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: Command line options changed. -pidfile, -nd and -ch are deprecated. If you use custom startup scripts, please run netdata -h to see the corresponding options and update your scripts. Hit http://localhost:19999/ from your browser. To stop netdata, just kill it, with: killall netdata To start it, just run it: /usr/sbin/netdata Enjoy! Uninstall script generated: ./netdata-uninstaller.sh
Install NetData
NetData has been installed and started.
Allow NetData default port via Firewall or Router
If you system behind any firewall, and
want to to access the NetData web interface from any remote systems on
the network, you must allow the 19999 port through your firewall/router.
On Ubuntu / Debian:
sudo ufw allow 19999
On CentOS / RHEL / Fedora:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=19999/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Access NetData via Web browser
Open your web browser, and navigate to http://localhost:19999/. You should see a screen something like below.
NetData dashboard
Here, You will find the complete statistics of your Linux system in this page. Scroll down to view each section.
You can download and view NetData default configuration file at any time by simply navigating to http://localhost:19999/netdata.conf.

Updating NetData
In Arch Linux, just run the following
command to update NetData. If the updated version is available in the
repository, it will be automatically installed.
sudo pacman -Syyu
In DEB or RPM based systems, just go to the directory where you have cloned it (In our case it’s netdata).
cd netdata
Pull the latest update using command:
git pull
Then, rebuild and update it using command:
sudo ./netdata-installer.sh
Uninstalling NetData
Go to the location where you have cloned NetData.
cd netdata
Then, uninstall it using command:
sudo ./netdata-uninstaller.sh --force
In Arch Linux, the following command will uninstall it.
sudo pacman -R netdata
That’s all for now. NetData is pretty
simple in terms of installation and usage. You can monitor the
performance of your local system or remote system in minutes without
much hassle. As far as I tested NetData, it worked well as I expected.
Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Cheers!
