Edge Computing Observability

Monitor Every Edge Node Without Sacrificing Performance

Netdata delivers complete observability across distributed edge infrastructure with per-second precision, minimal resource consumption, and autonomous operation - even when connectivity fails. Built for edge-first architectures where intelligence lives at the source and visibility never depends on the cloud.

Background Hero

Edge-Native Observability That Actually Works at the Edge

Purpose-built for distributed, resource-constrained, intermittently-connected environments

Autonomous Operation

Every agent is a complete observability engine - collection, storage, ML, alerts, dashboards - operating independently without cloud dependency.

Minimal Resource Impact

Monitor with <5% CPU and 150MB RAM. University-validated as the most energy-efficient solution while collecting per-second data.

Predictable Edge Economics

Per-node pricing with volume discounts. Monitor unlimited metrics without data volume charges - 90% cost reduction vs traditional platforms.

Real-Time ML at the Edge

18 unsupervised models per metric train locally, achieving 99% false positive reduction through consensus - no cloud processing required.

Data Sovereignty by Design

All metrics and logs stay on-premises. ML trains locally. Only metadata travels to Cloud - perfect for regulated industries and air-gapped facilities.

Zero Configuration Deployment

Install in 60 seconds, gain complete visibility. Auto-discovers 800+ integrations, generates dashboards algorithmically, trains ML automatically.

Trusted by organizations managing distributed edge infrastructure worldwide

Transform Edge Observability From Burden to Advantage

Gain Complete Visibility Without Network Dependency

Traditional monitoring fails when connectivity drops. Netdata maintains full observability locally - collecting, analyzing, alerting, visualizing - whether online or offline. Resume streaming when connectivity returns without data loss.

100% visibility maintained during network partitions

Learn about autonomous operation

Gain Complete Visibility Without Network Dependency

Scale From Hundreds to Millions Without Architectural Changes

Adding edge nodes doesn’t degrade existing performance. Each agent operates independently while parent clusters aggregate multi-node views. Deploy more parents as you grow - linear scaling from 10 to 100,000 nodes.

4.5B+ metrics/second processed globally

Explore scalability architecture

Scale From Hundreds to Millions Without Architectural Changes

Detect Anomalies Before They Cascade Into Failures

Unsupervised ML trains 18 models per metric locally, detecting anomalies with 99% false positive reduction. Anomaly Advisor correlates issues across all metrics, surfacing root cause in top 30-50 results - critical for remote troubleshooting.

15 minutes to first ML detection, 2 days to full confidence

Discover ML capabilities

Detect Anomalies Before They Cascade Into Failures

Troubleshoot Remotely Without SSH Access

Built-in Netdata Functions replace console tools - processes, network connections, systemd services, logs - all accessible via web dashboard with history and ML context. Perfect for retail locations, manufacturing facilities, remote energy sites.

Replaces top, iostat, netstat, journalctl, and more
