+## Overview
+
+This collector monitors Go-ethereum instances.
+
+
+
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+By default, it detects Go-ethereum instances running on localhost.
+
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per Go-ethereum instance
+
+These metrics refer to the entire monitored application.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| geth.eth_db_chaindata_ancient_io_rate | reads, writes | bytes/s |
+| geth.eth_db_chaindata_ancient_io | reads, writes | bytes |
+| geth.eth_db_chaindata_disk_io | reads, writes | bytes |
+| geth.goroutines | goroutines | goroutines |
+| geth.eth_db_chaindata_disk_io_rate | reads, writes | bytes/s |
+| geth.chaindata_db_size | level_db, ancient_db | bytes |
+| geth.chainhead | block, receipt, header | block |
+| geth.tx_pool_pending | invalid, pending, local, discard, no_funds, ratelimit, replace | transactions |
+| geth.tx_pool_current | invalid, pending, local, pool | transactions |
+| geth.tx_pool_queued | discard, eviction, no_funds, ratelimit | transactions |
+| geth.p2p_bandwidth | ingress, egress | bytes/s |
+| geth.reorgs | executed | reorgs |
+| geth.reorgs_blocks | added, dropped | blocks |
+| geth.p2p_peers | peers | peers |
+| geth.p2p_peers_calls | dials, serves | calls/s |
+| geth.rpc_calls | failed, successful | calls/s |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `go.d/geth.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/netdata-agent/configuration.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config go.d/geth.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined globally: update_every, autodetection_retry.
+
+
+<details><summary>Config options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1 | no |
+| autodetection_retry | Recheck interval in seconds. Zero means no recheck will be scheduled. | 0 | no |
+| url | Server URL. | http://127.0.0.1:6060/debug/metrics/prometheus | yes |
+| timeout | HTTP request timeout. | 1 | no |
+| username | Username for basic HTTP authentication. | | no |
+| password | Password for basic HTTP authentication. | | no |
+| proxy_url | Proxy URL. | | no |
+| proxy_username | Username for proxy basic HTTP authentication. | | no |
+| proxy_password | Password for proxy basic HTTP authentication. | | no |
+| method | HTTP request method. | GET | no |
+| body | HTTP request body. | | no |
+| headers | HTTP request headers. | | no |
+| not_follow_redirects | Redirect handling policy. Controls whether the client follows redirects. | no | no |
+| tls_skip_verify | Server certificate chain and hostname validation policy. Controls whether the client performs this check. | no | no |
+| tls_ca | Certification authority that the client uses when verifying the server's certificates. | | no |
+| tls_cert | Client TLS certificate. | | no |
+| tls_key | Client TLS key. | | no |

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+To troubleshoot issues with the `geth` collector, run the `go.d.plugin` with the debug option enabled. The output
+should give you clues as to why the collector isn't working.
+
+- Navigate to the `plugins.d` directory, usually at `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/`. If that's not the case on
+ your system, open `netdata.conf` and look for the `plugins` setting under `[directories]`.
+
+ ```bash
+ cd /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/
+ ```
+
+- Switch to the `netdata` user.
+
+ ```bash
+ sudo -u netdata -s
+ ```
+
+- Run the `go.d.plugin` to debug the collector:
+
+ ```bash
+ ./go.d.plugin -d -m geth
+ ```
+
+
