'local' support for on/off plugins?

Yes, indeed. But why is that a problem? Can you provide a specific example/your case?

For example:

  • new feature (plugin) is enabled - I miss it
  • some plugin turned off from on (due bugs, or another changes) - in my configuration is still enabled

That is how it works for all the configs - actual version (upstream) is in the configurations stock dir.

Yes, and I wan’t to just override some configuration keys. Locally.

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

result: installation try enable some_plugin that disabled or removed on upstream
