How can Netdata be free?
The Netdata Agent is free, open source software licensed under GPL v3.0. No registration is required; just install and go. It is ideal for single-node monitoring.
Netdata Cloud is free, closed source, software-as-a-service that brings together metadata from all of your endpoints running the Netdata Agent, giving you a complete view of the health and performance of your infrastructure.
Because you retain all of your data, Netdata Cloud is extremely lightweight and performant, with very low incremental cost and infinite scalability.
In the future, we will offer a paid plan with advanced functionality for enterprise users.
Netdata is a venture-funded company.
Is my data secure?
Privacy is very important to us. We firmly believe that your data belongs to you. This is why we don’t store any metric data in Netdata Cloud.
All the data presented in Netdata Cloud is streamed directly from the Netdata Agent to the Netdata Cloud dashboard. It passes through our systems, but is not stored.
We do however store limited metadata to be able to offer the stunning visualizations and advanced functionality of Netdata Cloud.
- The email address you used to sign up
- For each node claimed to your Spaces in Netdata Cloud:
- Hostname (as it appears in Netdata Cloud)
- Information shown in /api/v1/info
- The chart metadata shown in /api/v1/charts
- Alarm configurations shown in /api/v1/alarms?all
- Active alarms shown in /api/v1/alarms
This data is only be available to Netdata and never to a third party.
Is there an on-premises version available?
Not yet! Send us an email at [email protected] if you’re interested. We’d love to learn more about your requirements and use case.
