go.d.plugin doesn't exist on Fedora?

[versed crest]

Hello all. I'm new to Netdata, so maybe I'm being dumb. I'm trying to set up the httpcheck module and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I don't see anything from this module on the dashboard and don't see any reference to it in the logs.

I was going to try the debug option mentioned on the documentation page, but I don't see an executable called go.d.plugin anywhere on my system. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Netdata is installed from the Fedora 38 repo. I see plenty of other metrics on my dashboard and I've configured a couple test sites in /etc/netdata/go.d/httpcheck.conf.

Netdata is installed from the Fedora 38 repo
To clarify, do you mean from Fedora’s repositories, or from our official repo for Fedora 38?

In the first case, what you’re seeing is a known issue with many third-party Netdata packages, they often don’t include all the plugins and are also usually out of date to some extent. If this is the case, you can resolve the issue by uninstalling Netdata and then following the install instructions here: https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/one-line-installer-for-all-linux-systems (or, if you want to manually set up our native package repositories, here instead: https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/native-linux-distribution-packages).

In the second case, you’ve either found a bug, or your system is seriously broken in some way (barring bugs, it should not currently be possible to install Netdata from our official repositories and not have the Go plugin installed).
