Ok so I’m using netdata at the moment in the form of installing the agent in all my devices then adding them to the netdata cloud and logging into the cloud and seeing all my devices on that.
Is there a way to do it instead of connecting it all to the cloud, having it all host and connect to 1 device?

Hi @paper kettle,
Yes, it's possible to make all your nodes stream to a single node (parent) and then connect that single node to the Cloud.
This will make all nodes to appear on the Cloud.
Configuration docs:

As @frosty isle said, it is possible, but a cloud connection and paid subscription are required. The free version limits you to viewing 5 nodes at a time.

Yea I’ve read about that but I guess I didn’t word my question well. Connecting your nodes to the cloud allows you to login to a web UI to view all connected nodes.
Is there a way to do this without connecting all your nodes to the cloud but having them all connect to a parent node and have that node display it all on a local web UI like it would if you had all nodes connected to the cloud?
Don’t get me wrong, I do intend to do it through cloud through the subscription but what im asking for right now is something I can use locally for a limited number of nodes like 2-3 nodes

Yes, it is possible. See the links shared by @frosty isle.

I’ve looked into them and that is what u want but I don’t fully understand how to set it up (I’m sorry, I’m new to the Linux world)
Also just as a fyi, I want the parent node to be on my raspberry pi 5

stream.conf file on the parent node) to allow the node to receive data from childrenstream.conf file on every child node) to start streaming data to the parent

Does it work straight away? Do I have to install some Netdata software or do I just do “sudo nano stream.conf”?
I’m asking in mind of I have just loaded up fresh raspberry pi os and just done “sudo apt update && upgrade”
paper kettle
Will this work?
