You can use this tool to monitor and get overview of what is happening in real-time and what just happened, on your Linux systems and applications.<\/p>\n<p>This is what it monitors:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Total and Per Core CPU usage, interrupts, softirqs and frequency.<\/li>\n<li>Total Memory, RAM, Swap and Kernel usage.<\/li>\n<li>Disk I\/O (per disk: bandwidth, operations,

Systems<\/h3>\n<p>The latest release of\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>\u00a0can be easily installed on\u00a0<strong>Arch Linux<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Gentoo Linux<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Solus Linux<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Alpine Linux<\/strong>using your package manager as shown.<\/p>\n<pre>$ sudo pacman -S netdata         [<strong>Install Netdata on Arch Linux<\/strong>]\r\n$ sudo emerge --ask netdata      [<strong>Install Netdata on Gentoo Linux<\/strong>]\r\n$ sudo eopkg install netdata     [<strong>Install Netdata on Solus Linux<\/strong>]\r\n$ sudo apk add netdata           [<strong>Install Netdata on Alpine Linux<\/strong>]<\/pre>\n<p>On\u00a0<strong>Debian\/Ubuntu<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>RHEL\/CentOS\/Fedora<\/strong>, there is one line installation script that will install latest\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>and also keep it up to date automatically.<\/p>\n<pre>$ bash &lt;(curl -Ss https:\/\/my-netdata.io\/kickstart.sh            [<strong>On

and installs the needed software packages for building netdata (will ask for confirmation).<\/li>\n<li>downloads the latest netdata source tree to\u00a0<strong>\/usr\/src\/netdata.git<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>installs netdata by executing\u00a0<code>.\/netdata-installer.sh<\/code>\u00a0from the source tree.<\/li>\n<li>installs\u00a0<code>netdata-updater.sh<\/code>\u00a0to\u00a0<strong>cron.daily<\/strong>, so your netdata will be updated daily (you will receive a alert from cron only if the update fails).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: The\u00a0<code>kickstart.sh<\/code>\u00a0script progress all its parameters to\u00a0<code>netdata-installer.sh<\/code>, so you can define more parameters to modify the installation source, enable\/disable plugins, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can also install latest netdata manually by cloning its repository, but before you start installing\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>, make sure you have these basic build environment packages installed on the system, if not install it using your respective distribution package manager as shown:<\/p>\n<h4>On Debian \/ Ubuntu<\/h4>\n<pre># apt-get install zlib1g-dev gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkg-config\r\n<\/pre>\n<h4>On Centos \/ Redhat \/ Fedora<\/h4>\n<pre># yum install zlib-devel gcc make git autoconf autogen automake pkgconfig\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Next, clone the netdata repository from git and run netdata installer script to build it.<\/p>\n<pre># git clone https:\/\/github.com\/firehol\/netdata.git --depth=1\r\n# cd netdata\r\n# .\/netdata-installer.sh\r\n<\/pre>\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: The\u00a0<code>netdata-installer.sh<\/code>\u00a0script will build netdata and install it on your Linux system.<\/p>\n<p>Once the\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>\u00a0installer finishes, the file\u00a0<code>\/etc\/netdata\/netdata.conf<\/code>\u00a0will be created in your system.<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to start\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>\u00a0by executing the following command from the terminal.<\/p>\n<pre># \/usr\/sbin\/netdata\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>You can also stop\u00a0<strong>netdata<\/strong>\u00a0by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tecmint.com\/how-to-kill-a-process-in-linux\/\" target=\"_blank\"
