Hi there, customer on business plan here.

Abstract:

We are trying to deploy the new netdata windows installer to add more nodes but our current setup consists out of 2 on-premise parents and we are not able to acitivate the streaming section in windows agents as we previously did with linux client.

Question(s):

  • Is this feature (windows agent streaming) still to be implemented?
  • How to stream from windows agents to our parents?

Thanks for your support and windows agent as well.

Hello @Alessio_C,

The streaming feature is also available on Microsoft servers. However, some users have reported that Windows Defender was blocking external connections, which prevented the streaming functionality from working correctly.

Additionally, please note that the stream.conf file in Microsoft environments is located at:
C:\Program Files\Netdata\etc\netdata.

We are still in the process of porting some code to better align with the behavior expected by Windows users. In the meantime, you will need to run the following command to proceed:
C:\Program Files\Netdata\msys2.exe

After running this command, you can manage the configuration as you would on Linux:

cd /etc/netdata
./edit-config stream.conf

Please let us know if you have any additional questions or need further assistance.

Best regards,

Thiago Marques
