[Feat]: Netdata Integrations Enhancements

[sashwathn]

Problem

Some enhancements that have been identified for the second iteration.

Description

• [ ] 1. Hierarchical Categorisation - @ktsaou to come up with the hierarchy

  • [ ] Systems
    • [ ] Linux Systems
    • [ ] MacOS Systems
    • [ ] FreeBSD Systems
    • [ ] Provisioning Systems?
  • [ ] Networking and Network Services
  • [ ] Containers and VMs
    • [ ] Kubernetes
    • [ ] Tools
  • [ ] Databases
    • [ ] Database Servers
    • [ ] Database Tools

• [x] 2. Better support for multiple categories - no duplication of integrations on search - @kapantzak to implement this

• [ ] 3. Syntax highlighting - https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js - @ilyam8 and @kapantzak to discuss

• [X] 4. collectors metrics availability is broken - MySQL, Persona etc

• [ ] 5. Monochrome icons (For whenever we pick this up, but so I don't forget. We talked about the monochromatic icons, particular the black ones that show poorly in dark mode and white ones that show poorly in light mode. As I mentioned in one of the calls earlier this week, especially because they are SVGs, we can make them change color along with the theme. Here is one blog post that mentions how to use currentColor to do this, another suggests using inline CSS with @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark).) - @ralphm to discuss with @kapantzak

• [ ] 6. Related Resources for all integrations. - @Ferroin and @Ancairon to come up with the plan

• [ ] 7. Handle StatsD integrations - @ilyam8 to help creating a metadata.yaml for asterisk etc

• [X] 8. For empty sections, let us add a text "No XXX required" and enhance the metadata.yaml if this information is incorrect. - @ilyam8 and @Ferroin can you confirm this is done?

• [ ] 9. Add Functions as a new top level category. - @shyamvalsan and @sashwathn to get the data from @ktsaou

• [x] 10. Add plugin name and module name for every data-collection integration. - @Ferroin (#15864)

• [ ] 11. Add Provisioning Systems deployment instructions on integrations - Ansible, Terraform, Puppet (To be ready by Friday 25th August) - @tkatsoulas @Ferroin

• [ ] 12. What happens if we install Netdata on an unsupported Linux distro. - @Ferroin

• [ ] 13. Static deployment options for Linux distros. - @Ferroin

• [x] 14. Clear the search results if we click on the ToC menu again - @kapantzak

Value proposition

1. More useful information to our users
2. Better UX

Proposed implementation

TBD..

[Ferroin]

The related resources sections can probably be added to this list as well. I’m actually already doing some prep-work for that.
