Why Netdata?

Netdata takes a different approach to monitoring. It’s a very flexible, extremely modular, distributed application that you install anywhere. It can run autonomously, without any third-party components, or it can be integrated to existing monitoring tool chains like Prometheus, Graphite, OpenTSDB, Kafka, or Grafana.
Metrics Collector

Get system and application metrics from hundreds of collectors with auto-discovery and zero configuration.

Database

Time-series database

By storing data in memory on the host system, the Netdata Agent keeps you in control of your data thanks to its hyper-efficient distributed data architecture.

Metrics Visualizer

Metrics visualizer

Blazing fast, interactive, modern and optimized for anomaly detection, Netdata provides pre-configured charts for every metric at the highest granularity per second.

Alarms

Alarms notification engine

Netdata is an advanced watchdog for detecting performance and availability issues and comes with intelligent alarms vetted by our community of thousands of IT experts.

Key features

Monitor health & performance instantly

 Netdata Agent lets you interact with all your system and app metrics from an intuitive dashboard filled with detailed, real-time visualizations of your data optimized for anomaly detection.

Explore every pre-configured chart

 The Netdata Agent provides interactive charts of every metric in a single page. Scroll or utilize the menus to drill down to the automatically populated chart you’d like to view with zero delay.

View raised and logged alarms

Pre-configured alarms make it easy to stay on top of systems and performance health monitoring by triggering alerts when anomalies are detected, making sure you can troubleshoot when necessary and helping you meet your uptime goals and service level agreements.

Enable notifications to stay on top of alarms

Health alarms, while great on their own, are pretty useless without some way of you knowing they’ve been triggered. That’s why Netdata comes with a notification system that supports more than a dozen services, such as email, Slack, Discord, PagerDuty, Twilio, Amazon SNS, and much more.

Collect metrics from hundreds of systems, services and apps

Netdata auto-detects metrics from many data sources and can be extended with metrics collectors. See all integrations.

Exporting and archiving metrics

Archive all the metrics collected by Netdata to backends via exporters to archive for long-term storage or further analysis.

How does Netdata compare?

Netdata Agent is open source, free, super fast, very easy, completely open, extremely efficient, flexible and extensible. It has been designed by sysadmins, DevOps engineers and developers for troubleshooting performance problems, not just visualizing metrics.
