NetData installation

NetData – monitoring system that displays real-time statistics on web panels.

On the test, I will install NetData on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
Before installing, you can upgrade the system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If Ubuntu version is 18.04 and newer, then NetData is installed with the command:

sudo apt-get install netdata

After installation, the configuration will be in /etc/netdata/, the logs in /var/log/netdata/.

On Ubuntu 16.04 and older, you can install as follows (the installation will be done in /opt/netdata/):

sudo bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart-static64.sh)

Restart NetData can command:

sudo systemctl restart netdata

View status:

sudo systemctl status netdata
sudo ps ax | grep netdata

After installing NetData, you can immediately open it in the browser http://HOST:19999
I recommend to immediately restrict access to the tcp port 19999, for example through iptables.
