You are right the netdata user didn’t seem to have access to the netdata directory. I have run sudo chmod -R 777 /opt/netdata which has allowed the netdata user to access this. After restarting the service the node is now shown in the dashboard. If its not already, I think this should be added to the documentation somewhere.
A separate problem but the graphs are blank on the nodes screen.
If I click into the node the graphs are being populated. I will see if I can work out why this is happening.
