V1.35.1 history data cannot be shown

[cfangplus]

hi community

Now I installed netdata with 1.35.1 version, after installation I come to the localhost:19999 page and check to see the working status of CPU/Memory/Network but I faild to see the streaming stats and only shows a small part of them, that's to say the history data can't be showed. Also I found there are words appeared in each metric says "Want to extend your history of real-time metrics? Configure NetData's history or use the DB engine". It seems that I have not configured the netdata.conf file, so I jump to /opt/netdata/etc/netdata/ and configure netdata.conf as follow:
[global]
run as user = netdata
page cache size = 32
dbengine multihost disk space = 256
However, the streaming stats still can't be showed and I cann't see the history status. Need you help, thx.

Hi @cfangplus

Can you check http://localhost:19999/api/v1/info ? There should be an item memory-mode which shows if you're using dbengine or not.

I'm a bit confused when you say streaming stats, what exactly do you mean? For Netdata, streaming refers to when an agent (a child) streams it's metrics to another agent (the parent).

about so called 'streaming', I mean the history data, like data flow.
I checked memory-mode item from http://localhost:19999/api/v1/info and it is dbengine, that means dbengine is configured but I still cannot see history metric data.

when the first time opened localhost:19999 page, there is a hint called 'we couldnot load the latest netdata ui', after click the 'old single node dashboard' i found this problem that's mentioned before.

Hi @cfangplus

In general, 1.35.1 is a bit old version.... is there a way to update to 1.42.1 ?
