1.  **Bandwidth** in kbits/s

    -   in
    -   out

2.  **Peers**

    -   peers

## Configuration

Edit the `python.d/ipfs.conf` configuration file using `edit-config` from the your agent's [config
directory](/docs/step-by-step/step-04.md#find-your-netdataconf-file), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`.

```bash
cd /etc/netdata   # Replace this path with your Netdata config directory, if different
sudo ./edit-config python.d/ipfs.conf
```

Only url to IPFS server is needed.

Sample:

```yaml

  name : 'local'
  url  : 'http://localhost:5001'
