What is an "active node" (warning in Netdata cloud dashboard)

Help
1

Hi,

when logging into Netdata cloud, I now get this message:

Your current Community plan does not allow more than x active nodes. To proceed, select the x Nodes that you wish to keep active. Any Nodes beyond this limit will be deactivated.

The way this is phrased I am unclear about the consequences. Is it just that I won’t be able to see more than x nodes at a time in the dashboard, but I will still receive alerts for all nodes via email? Or will only those x active nodes continue to send alerts?

Thanks,
Jens

Thank you for the reply. I understand I will not be able to perform a drill down for root cause analysis or correlation of values.

Will emails still be sent for alerts occuring on deactivated nodes?

I think yes (according to the last paragraph on the screenshot I shared).
