how to enable chrony collector?

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I'm trying to enable the chrony plugin via config maps. I was wondering if there is any documentation on how to do that?

Hi, @withinboredom. Chrony python collector uses chronyc to gather metrics. I think that binary is not accessible from inside the Netdata container => python implementation doesn't work in k8s.

A quick google showed that there is Native Go implementation of Chrony communication protocol v6. We need to check if we can use it and get the same metrics - if yes, then a chrony collector in go will do.
