Hi, Currently netdata support to define ‘local’ settings, this settings redefine builtin (comes with package settings) settings. But if I need on or off the whole plugin, I should write to python.d.conf file, and with next netdata release my defaults in present ‘present’ state, not ‘latest’. May …

Hi @k0ste But if I need on or off the whole plugin You can set it in the netdata.conf ([plugins] section). and with next netdata release my defaults in present ‘present’ state, not ‘latest’. I am not sure i understand it. Can you give an example or rephrase?

[image] ilyam8: You can set it in the netdata.conf ( [plugins] section). Can you paste a example? For example for ‘samba’ plugin, I think is that I looking for.

Oh, indeed, i misunderstood you. There is always a confusion between plugin/plugin module. No, you can’t disable specific python plugin module (e.g. samba) in the netdata.conf. You are correct, the only place where you can do it is python.d.conf.

Now you should understood, when I make changes in python.d.conf - I will be outdated about this file changes in upstream. New python.d.conf will be python.d.conf.{pacnew, rpmnew}, etc…

[image] k0ste: Super example: installed netdata 1.1 explicity turned on some_plugin in pytond.d.conf in netdata 1.1 found regression in some_plugin netdata 1.2 release disable or remove some_plugin update 1.1 package to netdata 1.2 On the other hand, if you have them enabled, then you shoul…

[image] k0ste: Yes, and I wan’t to just override some configuration keys. Locally. [image] k0ste: Currently netdata support to define ‘local’ settings, this settings redefine builtin (comes with package settings) settings. I see what you mean and it makes sense for me. Current pattern …
