This package is installed automatically as a dependency of `opennebula-node-kvm` on all supported platforms except SLES 15, where it is not available in the SUSE repositories. To use the `nbd` exporter on SLES 15 hosts, install `python3-libnbd` manually, for example from the openSUSE Leap 15.6 repositories, together with the matching `libnbd0` package. {{< /alert >}}
