Hi, I try to stream netdata from a netdata agent (child) installed on a proxmox node to a netdata agent (parent) running as a Truenas app (Truenas SCALE on another proxmox node ). The Trunas App netdata should become the central netdata instance (parent) where I should see all other agents (childs) reporting to (proxmox nodes, VMs,LXCs), e.g. under tab “nodes”. Parents and children are within the same LAN. On the Truenas app netdata (parent: tn-pve02) I have configured netdata.conf [web] bind to = 0.0.0.0 [global] hostname = tn-pve02 …and also there in: /etc/netdata/stream.conf [stream] enabled = yes bind to = 0.0.0.0 default memory mode = save [pve02b-child] enabled = yes allow from = \* default history = 3600 health enabled by default = auto default postpone alarms on connect seconds = 60 multiple connections = allow api key = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 On one of the another proxmox node (pve02b) I have configured a netdata agent (child) in /etc/netdata/stream.conf: [stream] enabled = yes destination = tcp:tn-pve02.sub.domain.com api key = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 timeout seconds = 60 default port = 20489 send charts matching = \* buffer size bytes = 1048576 reconnect delay seconds = 5 initial clock resync iterations = 60 ## However on parent [http://tn-pve02.sub.domain.com:20489](http://tn-pve02.sub.domain.com:20489) I only see node tn-pve02 (the parents own stats) but not pve02b (child stats) on child as [http://pve02b.sub.domain.com:19999](http://pve02b.sub.domain.com:19999) I can see the child stats only on pve02b (child) systemctl status netdata gitves: “STREAM pve02b [send to tcp:tn-pve02.sub.domain.com]: remote server denied access, probably we don’t have the right API key? - will retry” During testing, the API-key as shown was used. What am I doing wrong here? Best regards Marco ---

Hi, @motto. It is hard to follow your configs because you didn’t use formatting, but your streaming configuration is wrong (API key placement). Consider checking [Configure Parent/Child docs](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/observability-centralization-points/metrics-centralization-points/configuring-metrics-centralization-points). ---

@ilyam8 it looks like I can not use the installation script as describe in [Configure Parent/Child docs](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/observability-centralization-points/metrics-centralization-points/configuring-metrics-centralization-points). ```auto Autodetected containerized Netdata instance. Attempting to autodetect container ID. ERROR: Unable to find a usable container tool stack. I support Docker and Podman. ``` Also, there is a port (20489) used for the parent-dashboard, that seems to be different from the 19999. 19999 seems to be closed on TrueNAS and there is probably a lot of Kubernetes involved to get it open (?) that I do not want to deal with. I probably need to install a netdata instance somewhere outside TrueNAS for the parent, which makes it less suitable for my case. I will try other Truenas apps instead first and see if I find a solution within Truenas. Best regards PS: sorry for my bad styling of the code sample in my first post
