           Summary: net-mgmt/netdata
           Product: Ports & Packages

Since version 2.5.2, the Netdata package (net-mgmt/netdata) no longer includes
the Dashboard (web interface) files in /usr/local/share/netdata/web. As a
result, accessing http://localhost:19999/ (as described in the pkg install
instructions) returns the error:
File does not exist, or is not accessible

I initially thought this was a packaging mistake, but the issue persists across
multiple releases. Reviewing the package options, I noticed that the DASHBOARD
option is set to off by default, which prevents the web interface from being
installed. This is unexpected, as the web dashboard is a core feature of
Netdata.

Steps to reproduce:
- Install Netdata via pkg install netdata
- Try to access http://localhost:19999/
- Observe the error and the absence of dashboard files in
/usr/local/share/netdata/web

Expected behavior:
- The Netdata web dashboard should be available after a default installation
via pkg, as documented.

Actual behavior:
- Dashboard files are missing, and the web interface is inaccessible.

Suggestion:
Please consider enabling the DASHBOARD option by default in the pkg build, or
clarify in the documentation that users must build from ports with this option
enabled to access the web interface.
