+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
+sudo ./edit-config python.d/powerdns.conf
+```
+
+```yaml
+local:
+  name     : 'local'
+  url     : 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/statistics'
