Aborted Installation

I see :frowning:

So the correct command to do now is:

wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --force-update

no (not sure to be honest) give me one second

May I ask something obvious but important, does the kickstart script (with the claim tokens from cloud) prompts you to run it as sudoer? This script requires privileged access

Yes I do it as sudoer.

@Austin_Hemmelgarn could you give us a hand here? Thanks!

If the goal is just to claim the agent, then you can skip attempting an update by adding --claim-only to the options (this will still run an install if there is no existing install, but will not try to update if there is no existing install).

As far as permissions, the kickstart script should actually not be run using sudo, it will prompt automatically when and if it need elevated permissions. Running it as root is fine, it’s just that things get a bit strange if you try to run it under sudo and not directly as root or normally as a regular user.

Hey Austin,
many thanks it works but when I reboot some servers to trivial updates it’s missing some data from Netdata cloud.
Please check the attached images and please let me know how to solve it.
Many thanks.


Hello everyone, I’m facing a similar problem to the one presented in this thread.
I’m trying to install NetData on my HP Proliant DL-560 server - OS: Proxmox 8.2.2 and it aborts the installation and freezes with the following message:
