go.d.plugin -d -m windows

Help

I have an Debian bullseye Server as VM on Virtualbox.
Debian 5.10.162-1
netdata version v1.38.0-382-gfe1ca9fd0

Netdata is running fine. This netdata instance should windows host.
Setup @ Windows is rudimentary set up, and running
The Address http://192.168.100.195:9182/metrics works, firewall for 9182 is open

Problem:

The Metrics do not appear.
Debugging shows:

My windows.conf looks so:
/opt/netdata/etc/netdata/go.d/windows.conf

jobs:
  - name: Whost01
    vnode: Whost01
    url: http://192.168.100.195:9182/metrics

Any Ideas?

Hi, @Bernd

See the logs

/opt/netdata/netdata-plugins/plugins.d

What is your installation method? And also check the collector.log file.

3

Yes they redśides in /opt/netdata.
But the messages says “using default” . Is this the problem,?

4

The message says that windows.conf wasn’t found in /etc/netdata/go.d and /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/go.d.

5

Try

cd /opt/netdata/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d 
./go.d.plugin -d -m windows
6

I did copy the missing conf files to /etc/netdata structure (here was no /etc/netdata dir at all)
After that it still does not work.
I disabled the local jobs entries and left only my added job .

Now it works!
