Is it possible to import a Google Colab instance as node? I’ve run the famous wget command for importing the node and by looking at the console output everything is ok, unfortunately when I visit the netdata webpage for monitoring the node is marked as “Unseen” and no metrics are showed.

I really need help, thanks 🙂

@Lorenzo_Amata Not to worry, this is definitely possible 😀

All you need to do is restart the netdata service after it gets installed from the kickstart wget command.

`!service netdata restart`

The node should become live almost immediately after the restart completes.

@Shyam maybe we should do a little blog post about how to use netdata with google colab perhaps?
