Problem/Question

Docker Pihole setupvars not being read. Seems to revert to default location of file.

go.d/pihole.conf:

jobs:
  - name: pihole
    url: http://127.0.0.1
    setup_vars_conf: /home/modem7/DockerApps/Pihole/etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

logs

Environment/Browser/Agent’s version etc

Ubuntu 22.04
netdata v1.37.0-87-nightly

What I expected to happen

For Netdata to read the custom location of setupvars as per go.d.plugin/pihole.conf at master · netdata/go.d.plugin · GitHub

Resolved.

Looks like there’s a typo in go.d.plugin/pihole.conf at master · netdata/go.d.plugin · GitHub

# [ List of JOB specific parameters ]:
#  - setup_vars_path
#    Path to setupVars.conf.
#    Syntax:
#      setup_vars_conf: /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

Should read:

# [ List of JOB specific parameters ]:
#  - setup_vars_path
#    Path to setupVars.conf.
#    Syntax:
#      setup_vars_path: /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

Thanks, @modem7. Fixed the typo in the configuration file.
