To install Netdata, the recommended method is to execute the following command in your terminal:
bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
Before proceeding with the installation, it's important to consider whether this command will interrupt any currently running services on your server. Unlike some package management commands, such as yum update on CentOS, which may affect running processes like Docker, the Netdata installation script is designed to be non-intrusive. It should not cause any restarts of existing software or services.
However, as with any installation, it is advisable to ensure that you have backups and to verify that your critical applications are running smoothly before proceeding. If you have specific concerns about your environment, consider testing the installation on a staging server first.
