Netdata platform configuration issue

Configuration
1

I try to configure the netdata platform, but it only works if I omit the resources array (and I get the free memory default reading), BUT, otherwise if I use few parameters I get this:

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.sensor] Error while setting up platform netdata

    raise ValueError(errmsg("Expecting value", s, err.value)) from None
ValueError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

the config I have at the moment:

- platform: netdata
  resources:
    - connections
    - uptime

Any ideas? Is this an issue to report or is related with my configuration wrong?

I was implementing this and I had the same error.

So, to configure NetData properly should be done this way:

- platform: netdata
  name: NetData - Server
  host: 192.168.1.X
  port: 19999
  resources:
    - 'memory_free'
    - 'memory_used'
    - 'memory_cached'
    - 'memory_buffers'
    - 'swap_free'
    - 'swap_used'
    - 'processes_running'
    - 'processes_blocked'
    - 'system_load'
    - 'system_io_in'
    - 'system_io_out'
    - 'ipv4_in'
    - 'ipv4_out'
    - 'disk_free'
    - 'cpu_iowait'
    - 'cpu_user'
    - 'cpu_system'
    - 'cpu_softirq'
    - 'cpu_guest'
    - 'uptime'
    - 'packets_received'
    - 'packets_sent'
    - 'connections'

BTW, in the documentation is using this simbol ( ‘ ) that actually is not a valid character and I got all type of errors, if you change it with this ( ' ) works perfectly.

hope this helps!
