Hey man, did you ever get this working? I’m having similar issues…

Not sure whether I had same errors, but this is what helped…: access to Netdata is limited to localhost by default. You need to modify the web section of the config file (in my case /etc/netdata/netdata.conf) to allow access from other computers. Example:

[web]
allow connections from = localhost 192.168.1.*
allow dashboard from = localhost 192.168.1.*

The first parameter limits general access to Netdata. The second parameter allows access to the dashboard.

After changes you need to force Netdata to reload:

/etc/init.d/netdata reload
