Description:

Update netdata to the latest version.

This has an issue where the logs aren't logged to the syslog, but the access logs can log to the syslog... If anyone has any idea why this might be happening let me know.

CI is failing, but I wonder. Could you compare the size between the old version and the latest one? I believe the latest one is so huge.

[diizzyy]

Yeah, there's going to be quite a difference in size

ping @tiagogaspar8 otherwise I will close this.

I'm sorry I've been absent, I will see about the reported questions this week, please bear with me.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your patience.

Comparing ipkg sizes:

• current: ~7.7MB
• new: ~12.8MB

Regarding the build failures I need to take a look, I haven't had the chance.
Regarding the syslog I need to test with a newer version, though I doubt it will do any difference.

Thanks.

I was trying to build with version 1.44.1 and I'm getting this:

Any suggestions?

Hi @BKPepe and @diizzyy,
I have some updates on this PR.

I was able to compile successfully netdata on the version 1.47.5 without ACLK.
ACLK is netdata's sw piece that connects with the cloud to sync dashboard info.
(I also needed to update protobuf yet that will come if I get netdata compiling in a way that can be upstreamed.)

This all sounds great, but netdata 2.0.0 was just released, and it is now mandatory to have ACLK, so now it won't build.

The error I get is this:

[121/440] cd /mnt/openwrt/ss_mod/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/netdata-2.0.0 && /mnt/openwrt/ss_mod/staging_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/usr/bin/protoc-28.3.0 -I/mnt/openwrt/ss_mod/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/netdata-2.0.0/src/aclk/aclk-schemas --cpp_out=/mnt/openwrt/ss_mod/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/netdata-2.0.0/src/aclk/aclk-schemas /mnt/openwrt/ss_mod/build_dir/target-aarch64_cortex-a53_musl/netdata-2.0.0/src/aclk/aclk-schemas/proto/aclk/v1/lib.proto

qemu-aarch64-static: Could not open '/lib/ld-musl-aarch64.so.1': No such file or directory

And I think I narrowed it down to this function:
https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/v2.0.0/packaging/cmake/Modules/NetdataProtobuf.cmake#L174
this is where netdata calls protobuf to compile the aclk schemas, and it doesn't seem to be linking the libraries correctly.

If you can provide any help here it would be much appreciated, I need guidance on where this might go since I've now hit a roadblock that I won't move past without the help of someone who knows how to code.

Thanks!
