these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.

need acces to
Kernel Logs (dmesg):
Capability: CAP_SYSLOG
Description: This capability allows the program to read kernel logs using the dmesg command or by reading the /dev/kmsg file.
System Logs (e.g., /var/log/syslog):
Capability: CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
Description: This capability allows the program to read system logs located in directories such as /var/log/.
User Logs (e.g., /var/log/auth.log):
Capability: CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH
Description: This capability allows the program to read user logs located in directories such as /var/log/.
Netdata creates its control socket at /tmp/netdata-ipc by default, which
is insecure and actually inaccessible with systemd's PrivateTmp enabled.
Originally we patched its source code to move the socket to
/run/netdata/ipc. However, it was removed due to incompatibility when
upgrading to v1.41.0: 1d2a2dc7d0
Fortunately, this new version of netdata adds support for setting the
location of the control socket via the environment variable
NETDATA_PIPENAME. So let's set it for the netdata service and the
command line utility so that they can communicate properly.
Previously, we hardcoded a 60 second timer to stop netdata if we didn't have any answer back.
This is wrong and can cause data loss because the SIGTERM sent by systemd can sometimes be not honored.
Which in turn becomes a SIGKILL, causing potential data loss / corruption.
Offer a flag to users and bump the deadline to 2 minutes.
conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
our xslt already replaces double line breaks with a paragraph close and
reopen. not using explicit para tags lets nix-doc-munge convert more
descriptions losslessly.
only whitespace changes to generated documents, except for two
strongswan options gaining paragraph two breaks they arguably should've
had anyway.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
The `bash` binary is needed for running some plugins, notably the alarm notify plugins. If the binary isn't in the path, alarms notifications aren't sent and the netdata error log instead contains `/usr/bin/env: 'bash': No such file or directory`.
This option makes the complete netdata configuration directory available for
modification. The default configuration is merged with changes
defined in the configDir option.

Without this patch merging options like
services.xserver.windowManager.xmonad.extraPackages
results in the evaluation error:
error: value is a list while a set was expected, at nixpkgs/lib/options.nix:77:23
With this patch we get the desired merging behaviour that just concatenates the
resulting package lists.

I've had Netdata crash on me sometimes. Rarely but more than once. And I lost days of data before I noticed.
Let's be nice and restart it on failures by default.
