anyone managed to get xcp-ng netdata working with netdata cloud?
Looks like the xcp-ng bundled netdata is outdated and claim command doesnt work, and the standalone netdata installer does not load the xcp-ng plugins for me

did you check the prerequisites here Install xen-dom0-libs-devel and yajl-devel using the package manager of your system.

#

with these the collector should auto detect

I did install those 😔

I think there is no way to get xen xcp-ng plugin:

static version doesn't have it
can't compile on xcp-ng 8.2 because it is based on centos7 I believe - old cmake.

#

But static version works (Kicksart.sh installs it), claiming works

#

tl;dr you can get latest version of Netdata on xcp-ng 8.2 but it doesn't have https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/collecting-metrics/containers-and-vms/xen-xcp-ng and it looks like there is no way to get this plugin working at the moment

damn ok

#

Operating System: XCP-ng 8.3
Kernel: Linux 4.19.0+1

#

is there a way to test if I can compile manually?

#

cmake version?

#

I think 8.3 is still based on Centos7, so no, you can't compile

git clone --recursive https://github.com/netdata/netdata
cd netdata
sudo packaging/installer/install-required-packages.sh netdata

sudo ./netdata-installer.sh --install-prefix /opt

#

it will fail

cmake version 2.8.12.2

CMake Error: The source directory "/root/netdata/build" does not exist.

I know, I downloaded xcp-ng 8.2 iso, created a VM but realized that it wasnt possible to build/compile Netdata on it.

Centos7 EOL June 30, 2024, I think xcp-ng guys should move to... some other distro, not sure what they plan to do

Two further notes regarding this:

It’s technically possible to work around the CMake issue pretty easily by just grabbing a copy of it from the upstream developers, but there may be other dependencies as well that are too old.
Even if the Xenstat plugin were built, there are apparently other issues with it (it hasn’t been updated yet to handle newer requirements for alert configuration).
