Known issue related to upstream problems with openSUSE’s handling of Protobuf. We’ve been trying to figure out a solution to get things building properly there for quite some time now but have thus far been unsuccessful.

The official recommendation until this gets fully resolved is to use our static builds on openSUSE.

@Ferroin Hi Austin,
i encountered the following problem while trying. Currently use Metric Streaming with a parent.
To do this, i tried installing a child with static builds as you suggested.
Despite the same configuration, no data is displayed on the parent, even though both parent and child say they are connected.

parent:
STREAM_RECEIVER for 'sv-04': connected and ready to receive data

child:
STREAM sv-04 [send to netdata01.dom.local:19999]: established link with negotiated capabilities: VCAPS HLABELS CLAIM CL....

If i switch back to the old rpm version on child, data is also displayed on the parent.
Is there a problem that the parent has a lower version than the child and therefore no data is displayed?
