Unable to get netdata on XCP-ng 8.2.1

Coming from ESXi I am doing my first steps with XCP-ng. I wanted to integrate Netdata as well as XCP-ng is featured as supported environment.

According to instructions I ssh to my XCP-ng installation and executed:

yum install xen-dom0-libs-devel

yum install yajl-devel

yum install xen-devel

without issues. I don’t now how to add centos-release-xen repository - hoping this is not needed. When then trying to execute

wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh h**ps://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh

I get this result:

[**10:04** **localhost** ~]# wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh h**ps://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh

Hey. It looks like the version of curl available on XCP-ng 8.2 is very very old.

Can you try wget, let’s see if it works.

wget https://github.com/netdata/netdata-nightlies/releases/download/v1.44.0-400-nightly/netdata-x86_64-latest.gz.run

Hi ilyam8,
no issues to execute the wget download. Now what…? I’m positive we get this solved!

FYI: I was able to help myself and found this to be working on XCP-ng host:
yum install netdata-ui
With using the premium XOA I was even able to install latest netdata plugin in hosts/advanced.

@Sensibelchen hey. What is “premium XOA” and what Netdata version is “latest netdata plugin in hosts/advanced”?
