I work in Netdata on ML. Just wanted to mention that as of last release a parent node will show all children in the agent dashboard so if doing again as of today a parent netdata might have got you the birds eye view as a starting point https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.41.0#v141...
(of course we also have Netdata Cloud which would have probably worked too but maybe was not as built out 3 years ago as is now - but don't want to go into sales mode and get blasted :) )
