Step 4: Start the Netdata service by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl start netdata

Step 5: Now again Check the status of the Netdata service by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# systemctl status netdata
● netdata.service - Real time performance monitoring
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/netdata.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

    "properties": {
        "distinct_id": "b007c322-f9c0-11ec-ace9-635134e9627c",
        "$current_url": "agent backend",
        "$pathname": "netdata-backend",

        "event_source": "agent backend",
        "action": "START",
        "action_result": "-",
        "action_data": "-",

Step 6: Check the running status of the Netdata by using its default Port number

root@linuxhelp:~# netstat -tulnp | grep 19999
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:19999           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4798/netdata        
tcp6       0      0 :::19999                :::*                    LISTEN      4798/netdata

Step 7: Allow the Netdata port number 19999 on firewall by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw allow 19999/tcp
Rule added
Rule added (v6)

Step 8: Reload the firewall by using the below command

root@linuxhelp:~# ufw reload

19999/tcp (v6)             ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

Step 10: Ping the server IP address with 19999 port number as shown in the below image
