#New VMs (cgroups) not discovered?

Hello,

I have installed Netdata on 3 bare metal servers (these are my VM hypervisors).

The amount of VMs discovered (cgroups) have remained the same since I first installed Netdata. However, since that time, I have created a lot of new VMs (the exact same way I’ve had) but they do not reflect in my Netdata dashboard at all.

Is there anyway I can get Netdata to “discover” these new VMs?

Hi.

VMs/containers are automatically discovered during runtime without requiring additional configuration. However, there are several reasons why a cgroup might not be added. For example, if your host system has numerous cgroups, you may reach the maximum allowed cgroups limit (which defaults to 1000). In this case, you'll see the following message in your logs:

CGROUP: maximum number of cgroups reached (1000). No more cgroups will be added.

To resolve this, you can increase the maximum allowed cgroups setting in your netdata.conf file under the [plugin:cgroups] section.
