Hi @karlhungus ,

The Netdata webserver follows the RFC using '&' as separator, this specific feature is used in our dashboard that wil be changed in a near future, I will discuss with our team about this problem that you are reporting, but when I tried to access the Netdata( I am using the latest version) I did not have any problem to see the charts and work with the software.

Best regards!
