I just want to limit the metrics to get only memory usage and disk space. Our VM is running on Azure and they do not have that kind of monitoring on their portal. ---

You can disable all plugins except `diskspace` and `proc` in the `[plugins]` section in `netdata.conf` and disable all modules except `/proc/meminfo` in the `[plugin:proc]` section. ---

Here is a helpful documentation page on how to disable plugins: > **[Common configuration changes | Learn Netdata](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/configure/common-changes#disable-a-collector-or-plugin)** > > See the most popular configuration changes to make to the Netdata Agent, including longer metrics retention, reduce sampling, and more. ---

Thank you! I already did that and restarted the netdata service. However I now am unable to see the metrics for my wmi exporter which monitors a separate Windows OS lol. I wonder under what specific config is that for? ---
