Problem/Question
I installed netdata on my zero via the kickstart script
wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh
When the command finishes I can not access the dashboard on my pi zero.
Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue
I tried checking the logs under
/opt/netdata/var/log/netdata
but they are all empty.
also checking systemctl :
systemctl status netdata
but this only gives me this information:
● netdata.service - Real time performance monitoring
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/netdata.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: signal) since Sun 2024-03-03 17:49:30 CET; 20s ago
Process: 1416 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /opt/netdata/var/cache/netdata (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Process: 1418 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R netdata /opt/netdata/var/cache/netdata (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Process: 1421 ExecStart=/opt/netdata/usr/sbin/netdata -P /run/netdata/netdata.pid -D (code=killed, signal=ILL)
Main PID: 1421 (code=killed, signal=ILL)
CPU: 848ms
I see that the last one gets killed but I do not know why.
Accessing the ip address only navigates me to a nginx welcome page.
Environment/Browser/Agent’s version etc
The image I installed on my sd card is the minimal one recommended by the raspberry pi imager tool for the zero w 1(again the headless variant)
What I expected to happen
I expected to be able to start configuring the netdata settings after the script finished and I navigated to the 19999 endpoint.
I want to monitor the internet connection and ping some servers (not in my local network) trying to understand some outtage problems/spikes during some work which are happening and resulting in high lag. Also the dashboard from netdata would be helpfull since it is not only for me and having something visual would be very nice. Also I would love to use the pi zero w1 since it does not get affected by the main system, and it is also connected via ethernet
I appreciate your help.
here the console log from the kickstart script (re -run)
