Unable to limit no. of charts under apps.plugin

Problem/Question

I need just these three charts in the apps.plugin:

  1. app.cpu_utilization
  2. app.mem_usage
  3. app.uptime

But I’m unable to selectively choose required no. of charts in the Apps section.

My attempts so far

I’m able to keep just Apps section by disabling Users and Groups using the below configuration in netdata.conf

[plugin:apps]
    command options = without-users without-groups

So far I 've tried doing the below kind of configuration in netdata.conf:

  1. Example
[plugin:apps:vmem_usage]
	enabled = no
  1. Example
[apps.vmem_usage]
	enabled = no
  1. I even tried commenting out certain process groups in apps_groups.conf , below is an example portion of the huge file:
# NETDATA processes accounting

# netdata main process

# netdata: netdata

# netdata known plugins

# plugins not defined here will be accumulated in netdata, above

# apps.plugin: apps.plugin

# freeipmi.plugin: freeipmi.plugin

# nfacct.plugin: nfacct.plugin

# cups.plugin: cups.plugin

# xenstat.plugin: xenstat.plugin

# perf.plugin: perf.plugin

# charts.d.plugin: *charts.d.plugin*

# python.d.plugin: *python.d.plugin*

# systemd-journal.plugin:*systemd-journal.plugin*

# tc-qos-helper: *tc-qos-helper.sh*

# fping: fping

# ioping: ioping

# go.d.plugin: *go.d.plugin*

# slabinfo.plugin: *slabinfo.plugin*

# ebpf.plugin: *ebpf.plugin*

# debugfs.plugin: *debugfs.plugin*

# logs-management.plugin: *logs-management.plugin*

# agent-service-discovery

# agent_sd: agent_sd

None of the above worked.

Relevant docs you followed/actions you took to solve the issue

  1. netdata/src/collectors/apps.plugin/README.md at master · netdata/netdata · GitHub
  2. Disabling Charts for User Groups and Applications, with Selective Chart Enable for User Seaction in Netdata Configuration - #2 by Thiago_Marques_0

How can I selectively choose the charts that I want under apps.plugin -> Apps? Kindly help.

Hi, @meghnamscs. This is not possible.
