We are thrilled to unveil the latest addition to the Netdata platform: the Dynamic Configuration Manager. This powerful new feature revolutionizes how you manage your monitoring and alerting configurations, making it easier and more efficient than ever before.
Key Features of the Dynamic Configuration Manager
- Create and Modify Alerts from Every Chart
- You can now create and modify alerts directly from any chart on your dashboard or from the dedicated Alerts tab. This streamlined process allows for quick adjustments and ensures your monitoring is always aligned with your current needs.
- Configure Collectors from the Integrations Section on the Dashboard
- Currently available for go.d collectors, this feature lets you configure collectors straight from the Integrations section. This means you can quickly identify what Netdata can monitor and set up your configurations in one go, without having to dig through multiple settings pages.
- Submit Configurations to Multiple Nodes with One Click
- Managing configurations across a large infrastructure can be time-consuming. With the Dynamic Configuration Manager, you can now submit configurations to multiple nodes simultaneously, saving you valuable time and effort.
- Construct and Copy Configurations for IaC Solutions
- For those using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions, this feature allows you to construct and copy configurations easily, integrating them into your IaC workflows. This ensures your configurations are consistent and reproducible across different environments.
