How can free be free?
- The Netdata Agent is v3.0, maintained and upgraded with the help of the open source community.
- Netdata Cloud’s distributed architecture—with processing occurring at the individual nodes—enables us to add any number of users at marginal cost.
- By introducing a paid plan with added functionality for enterprise customers, we can commit to providing our current functionality for free, always.
Can my data be shared or sold?
No. If you use the OSS Netdata Agent on its own, it doesn’t connect to us and cannot send us any data. When connected to Netdata Cloud, while we stream your metrics through our systems, your raw data is only stored at your individual nodes – more detail here. Besides your log-in hostname/email (which will never be shared with any third party), all we collect is the following metadata:
- How many Netdata agents you are using
- Which metrics they collect
- What alerts have been configured and when they triggered
