Description
We should provide a tool (e.g a bash script) so that users can frictionlessly install community collectors and alerts.
Collectors
- python.d
- go.d
- charts.d
go.d is tricky, as the user will have to rebuild the go.d binary and replace the existing one. Moreover, we should somehow make netdata NOT to replace the edited go.d with every nightly release.
Alerts
Just copy the alert file in the proper directory. Since we will have multiple different alerts for the same collectors, we should have a structure where people can install specific alerts for a component.
e.g the goroutines alert for geth.
This could be done via a repo structure as: alerts/geth/goroutines.conf
UX
It should be as effortless as possible. For the users to use the community repo, we expect them to be more technical, since they are pushing the boundaries of what netdata can do.
