I just installed and set up netdata on my trueNAS scale server as a TrueCharts app. I was following the Windows machine collector documentation and have been unable to get the Windows machine to show up.
I’ve set up and verified windows exporter on my WIN machine, and configured both windows.conf and vnodes.conf as directed in the configuration section. When I run the go.d.plugin to debug the collector I get
/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d # ./go.d.plugin -d -m windows

Looks like no modules are loading, so I opened up my go.d.conf, and it’s the default. I tried uncommenting ‘windows: yes’ but that didn’t have any effect. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the modules to load/enabled? I thought they were all enabled by default.
Here’s my current go.d.conf:
# netdata go.d.plugin configuration
#
# This file is in YAML format.
# Enable/disable the whole go.d.plugin.
enabled: yes
# Enable/disable default value for all modules.
default_run: yes
# Maximum number of used CPUs. Zero means no limit.
max_procs: 0
# Enable/disable specific g.d.plugin module
# If you want to change any value, you need to uncomment out it first.
# IMPORTANT: Do not remove all spaces, just remove # symbol. There should be a space before module name.
