Overview
Netdata is an open-source, real-time infrastructure monitoring platform. Monitor, detect, and act across your entire infrastructure. Core advantages include instant per-second insights, zero-configuration auto-discovery, ML-powered anomaly detection at the edge, efficient resource usage, and a secure, distributed architecture that keeps data local. The Netdata Agent supports 800+ integrations across systems, containers, VMs, and hardware sensors, with OpenMetrics and StatsD compatibility and future OpenTelemetry support coming soon. Data is collected, stored in a high-performance, tiered time-series database, and processed through a pipeline of Collect, Store, Learn, Detect, Check, Stream, Archive, Query, and Score. You can stream metrics to Netdata Parents for centralized dashboards, or archive/export to Prometheus, InfluxDB, OpenTSDB, Graphite, and more. Netdata runs on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and Windows, including containers and cloud environments. Netdata Cloud offers optional centralized dashboards, RBAC, and collaboration, while Netdata can operate standalone with local data staying in your infrastructure.
Features
Real-Time Per-Second Metrics
Per-second data collection and processing with instant results (beat-based data flow).
Zero-Configuration Auto-Discovery
Automatic detection and discovery of metrics across the host; auto-discovers everything on the node.
ML-Powered Anomaly Detection
Unsupervised ML models trained per metric at the edge to detect anomalies.
Long-Term Retention with Tiered Storage
High-performance tiered storage with efficient per-sample footprint and automatic tier selection for retention.
Advanced Visualization
NIDL-based dashboards with auto-generated visualizations; no need for separate query languages.
Edge-Based Processing
Processing and ML at the network edge on-premises, reducing central data movement.
Comprehensive Integrations
800+ integrations for systems, containers, VMs, hardware sensors; OpenMetrics/StatsD; OpenTelemetry coming soon.
Smart Alerting
Pre-configured alerts with multiple notification channels and proactive detection.
Who Is This For?
