Key features
Dashboard
Monitor health & performance instantly
The 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 visual anomaly detection.
Charts
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.
Alarms
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.

| Netdata | Others | ||
|---|---|---|---|
 | High-resolution metrics at per-second granularity |  | Low-resolution metrics at 10s+ granularity at best |
| Monitors everything with thousands of metrics per node | | Monitor just a few high-level metrics |
| Visualization is real-time and optimized for anomaly detection | | Visualization only provides an abstract, birds-eye view |
| Auto-detection of metrics with zero configuration providing meaningful charts out of the box | | Requires you to know the metrics you want to measure before you start |
| Install and get results instantly | | Lengthy planning and configuration process to get any useful results |
| Designed for troubleshooting performance problems | | Useful only to get statistics of past performance for forensics and post mortem analysis |
| Kills the console for tracing performance issues | | The console is always required for troubleshooting |
| Requires zero dedicated resources to install, run or maintain | | Requires significant and ongoing investment of dedicated resources |
