[ hoping this is posted in the correct place - not a git user (happy to learn if needed) ]

Summary:

I am attempting to add a speedtest chart to my OSX netdata installation, but when i run “charts.d.plugin debug 60 speedtest” I get the error “./loopsleepms.sh.inc: line 21: 1596096886 * 1000 + 10#N: value too great for base (error token is “10#N”)”

Background:

  • OSX 10.15.6

brew install bash (to get to bash v4) [ + chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash ]
brew install coreutils (to get timeout)
brew install netdata (/usr/local/Cellar/netdata/1.23.2/)

brew install speedtest-cli

  • make minor edit to “speedtest.chart.sh” s/speedtest-cli/speedtest/g
    (for some strange reason i get speedtest-cli file not found error, but -cli links to speedtest anyway - speedtest works #shrugs )
  • test / debug:
    /usr/local/Cellar/netdata/1.23.2/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/charts.d.plugin debug 60 speedtest
  • this errors and quits

Not sure if this is a netdata issue or a OSX date issue.
How can I debug this ?

3rd option is to download fixed version of loopsleepms.sh.inc

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ilyam8/netdata/fedb9b2f862a0644ff93b81ca6253dded43f6f10/collectors/charts.d.plugin/loopsleepms.sh.inc

and replace this file in your install

to list files do

brew list netdata

i think you need to wait until netdata pkg is updated and then brew upgrade.

Or prepend /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin (if you have coreutils installed) to the PATH in the netdata.conf, see [plugins] section.

^^ it still wont work in debug mode but should work after netdata restart

@AussieJD

Thanks for the help ilyam8 and zack-shoylev.
given I have installed using homebrew, I am not sure how to “upgrade” my install… any pointers ?

Do I update my env to include /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin

or do I somehow request an update using homebrew ?

Aside: I can get the /usr/local/Cellar/netdata/1.23.2/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/charts.d.plugin debug 60 speedtest
to work by adding the PATH to my “current shell” … BUT … the speedtest chart will still not appear in the web interface…

You may want to try this
export PATH=“/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:${PATH}” to make sure you are using the gnu utils date

Looks like a bug, will track here value too great for base · Issue #9635 · netdata/netdata · GitHub

I’m told it’s related to Fix now_ms in charts.d collector to prevent tc-qos-helper crashes by ilyam8 · Pull Request #9510 · netdata/netdata · GitHub and tc-qos helper is disabled after error · Issue #9493 · netdata/netdata · GitHub
