Some cited names can be different accoring preferences of Linux distributions. +When you do not have options set, it is necessary to get the kernel source code from https://kernel.org or a kernel package from your distribution, this last is preferred. The kernel compilation has a well definedd pattern, but distributions can deliver their configuration files +with different names. + +Now follow steps: +1. Copy the configuration file to /usr/src/linux/.config. +2. Select the necessary options: make oldconfig +3. Compile your kernel image: make bzImage +4. Compile your modules: make modules +5. Copy your new kernel image for boot loader directory +6. Install the new modules: make modules_install +7. Generate an initial ramdisk image (`initrd`) if it is necessary. +8. Update your boot loader + + + +### Configuration + +#### File + +The configuration file name for this integration is `ebpf.d/network.conf`. + + +You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the +Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory). + +```bash +cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata +sudo ./edit-config ebpf.d/network.conf +``` +#### Options + +All options are defined inside section `[global]`.
