Set storage space and history per node on master node

Question

For Netdata we got following setup: a lot of nodes sending their metrics to a central node, where the charts get rendered. Now we start having to many servers and not enought power on the master node. Mostly ram and disk are missing. Is there a way to configure.netdata, so that for example the dev host have a few days of history, while the production servers have a month?

Answer 1

You could try setting per machine_guid parameters in the parent's (master) stream.conf.

You could check with various options there, like longer history for some machine_guids, or different memory modes.
