Simplifying IT Monitoring Challenges
At LANCOM Systems, the transition to a more integrated and efficient IT monitoring system was driven by a desire to streamline operations and overcome the challenges associated with complex system monitoring. The company faced significant hurdles in integrating services within Docker containers and adapting to the programming language Go, despite a strong preference for Python. This challenge was further compounded by the need for a comprehensive monitoring solution that could offer extensive out-of-the-box features without necessitating extensive development work.
LANCOM Systems' journey toward resolving these pain points led to the adoption of Netdata, a platform celebrated for its simplicity and robust feature set. The immediate appeal of Netdata lay in its ease of setup and extensive integrations, which allowed LANCOM Systems to monitor their containers, Debian OS, and Prometheus exporters efficiently, effectively addressing their main challenges.
“So many out-of-the-box features! I mostly have not to develop anything and can just use Netdata directly to monitor my stuff!”

Transformative Monitoring with Netdata
Netdata’s impact on LANCOM Systems has been profound, offering measurable benefits across various operational aspects. The platform’s ease of setup, broad integrations, and integrated Prometheus exporter have been instrumental in achieving a 20% reduction in downtime and a remarkable 40% cost reduction in infrastructure monitoring. These improvements have not only optimized budget allocation but also enhanced productivity and the accuracy of metrics within the organization.
One notable incident where Netdata proved invaluable involved addressing high disk usage and subsequent high response times. The ability to swiftly identify and rectify such issues underscores the platform’s role in ensuring operational efficiency and reliability. Moreover, LANCOM Systems appreciates the potential for further integration of Netdata within their product offerings, despite considerations for alternative solutions like Prometheus and Grafana.
“Downtime reduction by 20% and budget optimization by 40% highlight Netdata’s significant positive impact on our operations.”
