How to use Netdata's remote ports？​

Netdata connects as a unix socket by default in QuickBox Lite，so if you need to use a TCP port for monitoring, you need to：

  1. remove following information in configuration

    /etc/netdata/netdata.conf
    [web]
    bind to = unix:/run/netdata/netdata.sock

  2. restart netdata

    systemctl restart netdata

  3. modify Nginx configuration

    /etc/nginx/apps/netdata.conf
    proxy_pass http://unix:/run/netdata/netdata.sock:/$ndpath$is_args$args;

    to

    /etc/nginx/apps/netdata.conf
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:19999/$ndpath$is_args$args;

  4. restart Nginx

    nginx -t
    nginx -s reload
