Need to create a parent and child stream

Help
1

I have two virtual machine one is where our ML models will run in that virtual machine we have installed Netdata as a client consider this as a child.
And on other virtual machine we have installed netdata now this virtual machine need to be as a central monitor or parent .
i have configured the netdata.conf file as shown below
Parent netdata.conf file:-
[global]
run as user = netdata

# default storage size - increase for longer data retention
page cache size = 32
dbengine multihost disk space = 256

[web]
bind to = localhost,192.168.0.110
#allow connections from = 192.168.0.114

[stream]
enabled = yes
destination = 192.168.0.114:19999

child netdata.conf file:-
[global]
run as user = netdata

# default storage size - increase for longer data retention
page cache size = 32
dbengine multihost disk space = 256
update every = 10

[stream]
enabled = yes
allow from = 192.168.0.110

i have added the stream option in both the parent and child still i was not able to access the child metrics in parent

And another question do we need to login to the netdata cloud to the see the nodes in parent machine.

Netdata version :- 1.38.0-453-nightly

Hi @saikumar_chinni ,

From the extracts you provided it seems that on the parent you don’t have setup the API KEY section

A sample from a parent config

[00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000]
    enabled = yes
    allow from = *
    default history = 3600
    health enabled by default = auto
    default postpone alarms on connect seconds = 60
    multiple connections = allow

And a sample from a child config

[stream]
    enabled = yes
    destination = tcp:parent
    api key = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
    timeout seconds = 60
    default port = 19999
    send charts matching = *
    buffer size bytes = 1048576
    reconnect delay seconds = 5
    initial clock resync iterations = 60

And another question do we need to login to the netdata cloud to the see the nodes in parent machine.

On this question, you don’t need to use Netdata Cloud for that from the parent local dashboard you should be able to see your child node instances. An example:
