Hi Team,
Apart from what NetData is already collecting through it's own features on my Linux machine, I want to add some additional data into the NetData Dashboard, that I get through my bash script. How can I do it in NetData. Kindly advise. Thank you
#Adding additional data to NetData Dashboard

Hi @vapid ridge there are a few ways to do this, depending on the data.
The Pandas collector is an easy way to do this if you are familiar with Python: https://blog.netdata.cloud/pandas-python/
Basically any data that you can read via Python and load into a pandas dataframe can be added to Netdata in this way.
There is also the option to create a bash collector (which I found a little more complicated than using pandas)

Oh I see. That is nice.
Right now I am putting my data into PostgreSQL, and then visualizing it on Grafana. But I want to integrate my data with the Netdata dashboard. So is it possible to send the data from PosgreSQL db to Netdata, and to NetData's Dashboard?

I believe what @regal vine shared is the best approach, there is another blog post with an example of MySQL but should work with any SQL

Yes, any data that can be accessed via SQL can be monitored via Netdata

That's great to know! I will go see how I can do that.
Thank you @regal vine @glossy dock
