To enable it, use `edit-config` from the Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`, to edit the `python.d.conf` file. ```bash cd /etc/netdata # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different sudo ./edit-config python.d.conf ``` Change the value of the `hpssa` setting to `yes`. Save the file and restart the Netdata Agent with `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the [appropriate method](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your system. - title: 'Allow user netdata to execute `ssacli` as root.' description: | This module uses `ssacli`, which can only be executed by root. It uses `sudo` and assumes that it is configured such that the `netdata` user can execute `ssacli` as root without a password. - Add to your `/etc/sudoers` file: `which ssacli` shows the full path to the binary. ```bash netdata ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /path/to/ssacli ``` - Reset Netdata's systemd unit [CapabilityBoundingSet](https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#Capabilities) (Linux distributions with systemd) The default CapabilityBoundingSet doesn't allow using `sudo`, and is quite strict in general. Resetting is not optimal, but a next-best solution given the inability to execute `ssacli` using `sudo`. As the `root` user, do the following: ```cmd mkdir /etc/systemd/system/netdata.service.d echo -e '[Service]\nCapabilityBoundingSet=~' | tee /etc/systemd/system/netdata.service.d/unset-capability-bounding-set.conf systemctl daemon-reload systemctl restart netdata.service ``` configuration: file: name: python.d/hpssa.conf options: description: | 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. folding: title: "Config options" enabled: true list: - name: update_every description: Sets the default data collection frequency. default_value: 5 required: false - name: priority description: Controls the order of charts at the netdata dashboard. default_value: 60000 required: false - name: autodetection_retry description: Sets the job re-check interval in seconds. default_value: 0 required: false - name: penalty description: Indicates whether to apply penalty to update_every in case of failures. default_value: yes required: false - name: name description: Job name. This value will overwrite the `job_name` value. JOBS with the same name are mutually exclusive. Only one of them will be allowed running at any time.
