Public bug reported: netdata's "dbengine" vastly reduces io load - when it works.
Unfortunately a bunch of dependencies appear to have been left out of the package, so it doesn't work on Ubuntu. This is...unfortunate... as netdata's authors appear to be moving to standardise on using dbengine. How to trigger bug: add: "memory mode = dbengine" to the global section of netdata.conf Restart netdata. Watch errors cascade out in /var/log/netdata/error.log The primary one to look for is "netdata FATAL : MAIN :RRD_MEMORY_MODE_DBENGINE is not supported in this platform. # : No such file or directory" What should happen: Netdata should start up, ignore existing /var/cache/netdata/* datafiles (these can be deleted), create /var/cache/netdata/dbengine/ and work using that as its active area What's needed: Add the missing dependencies to the package, so they are loaded when netdata is installed. ** Affects: netdata (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853889 Title: dbengine support dependency chain broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netdata/+bug/1853889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
