Hi Netdata Community,

I am experiencing a visualization issue with my custom StatsD metrics after migrating to the latest Netdata version (Dashboard v2).

Previously, my custom charts defined in statsd.d were neatly grouped under a single main section in the sidebar menu (e.g., "Kopia"). Currently, this top-level grouping is ignored, and all my chart families are displayed as individual items at the root level of the sidebar, creating significant clutter.

It seems like the [app] name parameter is no longer creating a dedicated Sidebar Section.

My Configuration (/etc/netdata/statsd.d/kopia.conf):

[app]
    name = Kopia
    metrics = kopia.*
    private charts = no
    gaps when not collected = no

[quick_maintenance_advance_epoch_status]
    name = kopia.quick_maintenance_advance_epoch_status
    title = Advance epoch
    context = kopia.quick_maintenance_task_status
    family = Quick Maintenance
    type = line

Expected Behavior:

- Main Menu (Section): Kopia
  - Submenu: Quick Maintenance
    - Chart: Advance epoch

Actual Behavior (v2 Dashboard):

- Root Level: Quick Maintenance (Chart is here)
- Root Level: Repository
- (The "Kopia" parent section is missing completely)

Question: Is there a new configuration parameter required for Dashboard v2 to force the creation of a custom Sidebar Section for StatsD apps? Do I need to manually register the "Kopia" type in a specific frontend file (like dashboard_info.js) to restore the hierarchy?

Any advice on how to un-flatten these charts would be appreciated.

Thanks!
