        metrics_description: |
          [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) is a de-facto standard in reading and processing most types of structured data in Python.
          If you have metrics appearing in a CSV, JSON, XML, HTML, or [other supported format](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/user_guide/io.html),
          either locally or via some HTTP endpoint, you can easily ingest and present those metrics in Netdata, by leveraging the Pandas collector.
          
          This collector can be used to collect pretty much anything that can be read by Pandas, and then processed by Pandas.
        method_description: |
          The collector uses [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) to pull data and do pandas-based preprocessing, before feeding to Netdata.

              This collector depends on some Python (Python 3 only) packages that can usually be installed via `pip` or `pip3`.
              
              ```bash
              sudo pip install pandas requests
              ```
              
              Note: If you would like to use [`pandas.read_sql`](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_sql.html) to query a database, you will need to install the below packages as well.
              
              ```bash
              sudo pip install 'sqlalchemy<2.0' psycopg2-binary
              ```

            There are 2 sections:
            
            * Global variables
            * One or more JOBS that can define multiple different instances to monitor.
            
            The following options can be defined globally: priority, penalty, autodetection_retry, update_every, but can also be defined per JOB to override the global values.
            
            Additionally, the following collapsed table contains all the options that can be configured inside a JOB definition.
            
            Every configuration JOB starts with a `job_name` value which will appear in the dashboard, unless a `name` parameter is specified.

        This collector is expecting one row in the final pandas DataFrame. It is that first row that will be taken
        as the most recent values for each dimension on each chart using (`df.to_dict(orient='records')[0]`).
