Searched on internet:
Found config.tar.gz on Releases · netdata/go.d.plugin · GitHub
put content of tarball in /etc/netdata/

Hey, consider using the edit-config script. It copies files from the stock to the user directory (/etc/netdata).
cd /etc/netdata
./edit-config go.d/openvpn.conf
./edit-config go.d.conf
Hi, Tried that before, without success. ???
Now tried again and indeed openvpn.conf is now in directory /etc/go.d.
strange, but thanks alot.
Now I remember what I did:
First installed from the gentoo repository.
cd /etc/netdata
./edit-config go.d/openvpn.conf
./edit-config go.d.conf
Got message I don’t remember.
netdata-plugins missing in the repository of gentoo.
So did the installation as stated before.
Just looked for the presence of go.d and the conf.
did not try the ./edit-config go
