having a Netdata agent taking your machine's CPU to 99% shouldn't happen, not sure when was the list time you tried it but a lot of recent improvements have been done on the Netdata Agent

also, with Netdata you can achieve the same architecture design using a Netdata Parent that could be your "control node" and to where you stream the metrics of the nodes you want to keep running with as less load as possible - you can even offload the health engine and the machine learning

take a look at https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/streaming/ and https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/configuring/how-to-optimize...

I hear you, but once something like that burns me, I am very loathe to risk it again if the cost/benefit ratio seems unfavorable to me. While it's nice to have the pretty dashboards for Netdata, it's not worth even a small risk of it breaking or degrading my systems.
