Netdata distribution support matrix

In the following table we've listed Netdata's official supported operating systems. We detail the distributions, flavors, and the level of support Netdata is currently capable to provide.

The following table is a work in progress. We have concluded on the list of distributions that we currently supporting and we are working on documenting our current state so that our users have complete visibility over the range of support.

Legend:

  • Version: Operating system version supported
  • Family: The family that the OS belongs to
  • CI: Smoke Testing: Smoke testing has been implemented on our CI, to prevent broken code reaching our users
  • CI: Testing: Testing has been implemented to prevent broken or problematic code reaching our users
  • CD: Continious deployment support has been fully enabled for this operating system
  • .DEB: We provide a .DEB package for that particular operating system
  • .RPM: We provide a .RPM package for that particular operating system
  • Installer: Running netdata from source, using our installer, is working for this operating system
  • Kickstart: Kickstart installation is working fine for this operating system
  • Kickstart64: Kickstart static64 installation is working fine for this operating system
  • Community: This operating system receives community support, such as packaging maintainers, contributors, and so on

Supported functionalities accross different distribution channels

On the following section we try to depict what functionalities are available, across the different distribution channels. There are various limitations and problems we try to attend as we evolve and grow. Through this report we want to provide some clarity as to what is available and in what way. Of course we strive to deliver our full solution through all channels, but that may not be feasible yet for some cases.

Legend:

  • Auto-detect: Depends on the programs package dependencies. If the required dependencies are covered during compile time, capability is enabled
  • YES: This flag implies that the functionality is available for that distribution channel
  • NO: Not available at the moment for that distribution channel at this time, but may be a work-in-progress effort from the Netdata team.
  • At Runtime: The given module or functionality is available and only requires configuration after install to enable it

Core functionality

Core

This is the base netdata capability, that includes basic monitoring, embedded web server, and so on.

make/make install netdata-installer.sh kickstart.sh kickstart-static64.sh Docker image RPM packaging DEB packaging
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
  • Flags/instructions to enable: None
  • Flags to disable from source: None
  • What packages required for auto-detect?: install-required-packages.sh netdata

DB Engine

This is the brand new database engine capability of netdata. It is a mandatory facility required by netdata. Given it's special needs and dependencies though, it remains an optional facility so that users can enjoy netdata even when they cannot cover the dependencies or the H/W requirements.

make/make install netdata-installer.sh kickstart.sh kickstart-static64.sh Docker image RPM packaging DEB packaging
Auto-detect Auto-detect YES YES YES YES YES
  • Flags/instructions to enable: None
  • Flags to disable from source: --disable-dbengine
  • What packages required for auto-detect?: openssl, libuv1, lz4, Judy

Encryption Support (HTTPS)

This is Netdata's TLS capability that incorporates encryption on the web server and the APIs between master and slaves. Also a mandatory facility for Netdata, but remains optional for users who are limited or not interested in tight security
