Hi I'm at a loss......My /etc/netdata/netdata.conf just don't include the part "#Per chart configuration"......how can I order my sections on dashboard?

Further more,On my dashboard,I can't see suboptions by click mainoptions?It's really inconvenient ,how can I fix it?
Waiting for any reply. Thank you very much~

Here's the picture for the second question

Normal would be:

But my dashborad is:

How did you install netdata?

[zhangsimingshannonai]

How did you install netdata?

By "sh kickstart.sh "

[vlvkobal]

Did you change the default netdata configuration? What errors do you have in error.log?

@zhangsimingshannonai i see Nvidia-GPU on the top, did you change the priority of the nvidia_smi collector?

@zhangsimingshannonai i see Nvidia-GPU on the top, did you change the priority of the nvidia_smi collector?

Thanks for your reply,here's the nvidia configuration file:

zhangsiming@gpuserver001:/etc/netdata/python.d$ pwd
/etc/netdata/python.d
zhangsiming@gpuserver001:/etc/netdata/python.d$ tail -5 nv.conf
retries      : 10
priority     : 20000

legacy       : False
nvMemFactor  : 1

The moment I add the Nvidia plugin,all settings is default,I didn't change anything.I don't know why Nvidia-GPU part is on the top of dashboard.....

Here's the error log:

Did the line above right?should it be here? Is this involved into the question I asked?
Waiting for your reply...

Please do:

sudo systemctl stop netdata
sudo rm /var/log/netdata/error.log
sudo systemctl start netdata
grep "netdata ERROR" /var/log/netdata/error.log

[zhangsimingshannonai]

Please do:

sudo systemctl stop netdata
sudo rm /var/log/netdata/error.log
sudo systemctl start netdata
grep "netdata ERROR" /var/log/netdata/error.log

I did what you said，but it seems that the error.log is empty.
I wait for about 5min,and the error.log is below:

zhangsiming@gpuserver003:/etc/netdata$ cat /var/log/netdata/error.log

Wait some time after stopping netdata. Check that netdata has really stopped with ps ax | grep netdata before deleting the log file. And let netdata run a few seconds before grepping.

zhangsiming@gpuserver001:/etc/netdata/python.d$ tail -5 nv.conf
retries : 10
priority : 20000
legacy : False
nvMemFactor : 1

oh, it is third party plugin

I can't see suboptions by click mainoptions?

try to disable nv plugin and see if the issue resolved

[ilyam8]

I can't see suboptions by click mainoptions?

i can reproduce it adding % to the family @vlvkobal

random %

CHARTS = {
    'random': {
        'options': [None, 'A random number', 'random number', 'random %', 'random', 'line'],
        'lines': [
            ['random1', None, 'incremental']
        ]
    }
}

[ilyam8]

i guess this is the bug in the web part,not sure tho

[zhangsimingshannonai]

I disable nv plugin by :

zhangsiming@gpuserver002:/etc/netdata$ sed -n '89p' netdata.conf 
	python.d = no
zhangsiming@gpuserver002:/etc/netdata$ sudo systemctl restart netdata

And it works!!!

I think it's a bug on NVIDIA-Plugin,thanks so much for your answer!!!!

Now,what can I do to fix the bug?I need the nv plugin~

[ilyam8]

zhangsiming@gpuserver002:/etc/netdata$ sed -n '89p' netdata.conf
python.d = no

you disabled the whole python.d.plugin (all python modules)

Now,what can I do to fix the bug?I need the nv plugin~

Open an issue in the nv plugin repo. Give me the link to the nv plugin repo.

And we need to fix the bug in the netdata - % sign in the family (submenu thing) breaks the dashboard

I couldn't find where the change would need to be made though.

I use this “https://github.com/coraxx/netdata_nv_plugin”
I install Nvidia-plugin by

zhangsiming@gpuserver001:/netdata$ cat nvidia-smi-install.sh 
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp/
git clone https://github.com/Splo0sh/netdata_nv_plugin --depth 1
sudo cp netdata_nv_plugin/nv.chart.py /usr/libexec/netdata/python.d/
sudo cp netdata_nv_plugin/python_modules/pynvml.py /usr/libexec/netdata/python.d/python_modules/
sudo cp netdata_nv_plugin/nv.conf /etc/netdata/python.d/
sudo mv /usr/libexec/netdata/python.d/nv.chart.py /usr/libexec/netdata/python.d/Nvidia-GPU.chart.py
sudo systemctl restart netdata

@zhangsimingshannonai

fix for nv_plugin:
#2249

You need to fix it by hand, it seems author is not interested in fixing the bug

---

also check nvidia_smi collector, it is supported by us

Thanks ，I'll see it later.

As explained in #6531 , we'll address the issue with the special characters in the configuration manager validations.
