Bug Description
netdata's "dbengine" vastly reduces io load - when it works.
Unfortunately a bunch of dependencies appear to have been left out of the package, so it doesn't work on Ubuntu.
This is...unfortunate... as netdata's authors appear to be moving to standardise on using dbengine.
How to trigger bug:
add: "memory mode = dbengine" to the global section of netdata.conf
Restart netdata.
Watch errors cascade out in /var/log/
The primary one to look for is "netdata FATAL : MAIN :RRD_MEMORY_
What should happen: Netdata should start up, ignore existing /var/cache/
What's needed: Add the missing dependencies to the package, so they are loaded when netdata is installed.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
