Hi,

could you please test and/or adapt Netdata to be able to get it as a workable package on our OpenWRT ?

Have a look to this really interesting package.

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day.

Miguipda ;-)

Did anyone try cross-compiling netdata daemon and testing it if it works on OpenWrt?

Wowzers! That looks incredible!!
Haven't tried, but I want it... Wouldn't get any spare time for a few weeks to try either sad

Thank you, incredibly beautiful and clear!
Installed on WRT1900ac-v1 / Debian.

Supplemented.

I made a package out of curiosity if anyone is interested. I'm not interested in submitting this or maintaining it because netdata isn't something I'll actually use. Feel free to use this and submit to the OpenWrt packages repo if you wish to become the maintainer.

Use the 'download' link on that page to save the patch, which you then apply to the packages feed.

This is a minimal configuration requiring no external dependencies. As noted in the commit log (in the patch) you can install bash and perhaps node.js to get the full suite of plugins.

Note that this is a large package with a lot of files (some could be removed, as noted in the commit log) and netdata itself requires a relatively large amount of RAM for an embedded system. This probably won't work on systems with small amounts of flash or RAM.

The discussion might have continued from here.
