23
+ - First [install](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/en_us/sdk-for-cpp/v1/developer-guide/setup.html) AWS SDK for C++
24
+ - Here are the instructions when building from source, to ensure 3rd party dependencies are installed:
25
+ ```bash
26
+ git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-cpp.git
27
+ cd aws-sdk-cpp/
28
+ git submodule update --init --recursive
29
+ mkdir BUILT
30
+ cd BUILT
31
+ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DBUILD_ONLY=kinesis ..
32
+ make
33
+ make install
34
+ ```
35
+ - `libcrypto`, `libssl`, and `libcurl` are also required to compile Netdata with Kinesis support enabled.
36
+ - Next, Netdata should be re-installed from the source. The installer will detect that the required libraries are now available.

57
+ The format of each item in this list, is: [PROTOCOL:]IP[:PORT].
58
+ - PROTOCOL can be udp or tcp. tcp is the default and only supported by the current exporting engine.
59
+ - IP can be XX.XX.XX.XX (IPv4), or [XX:XX...XX:XX] (IPv6). For IPv6 you can to enclose the IP in [] to separate it from the port.
60
+ - PORT can be a number of a service name. If omitted, the default port for the exporting connector will be used.
61
+
62
+ Example IPv4:
63
+ ```yaml
64
+ destination = 10.11.14.2:4242 10.11.14.3:4242 10.11.14.4:4242

68
+ destination = [ffff:...:0001]:2003 10.11.12.1:2003

116
+ Includes one or more space separated patterns, using * as wildcard (any number of times within each pattern).
117
+ The patterns are checked against the hostname (the localhost is always checked as localhost), allowing us to
118
+ filter which hosts will be sent to the external database when this Netdata is a central Netdata aggregating multiple hosts.
119
+
120
+ A pattern starting with `!` gives a negative match. So to match all hosts named `*db*` except hosts containing `*child*`,
121
+ use `!*child* *db*` (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the hostname will be used - positive or negative).

127
+ detailed_description: |
128
+ A pattern starting with ! gives a negative match. So to match all charts named apps.* except charts ending in *reads,
129
+ use !*reads apps.* (so, the order is important: the first pattern matching the chart id or the chart name will be used,
130
+ positive or negative). There is also a URL parameter filter that can be used while querying allmetrics. The URL parameter
131
+ has a higher priority than the configuration option.
