Your Infrastructure, Always Within Reach

Netdata provides native mobile apps for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices. Download from the App Store or Google Play. Both apps provide the same core functionality: push notifications, AI-powered troubleshooting, and real-time infrastructure monitoring.

Push notifications require a paid subscription - either a Business plan or Homelab plan (for personal non-commercial use only). Mobile access is included in these plans for unlimited users at no additional cost. Freelancers, professionals, and businesses should use the Business plan or Open Source. See our pricing page for details.

Netdata Mobile leverages edge-native architecture with distributed intelligence - mobile queries hit edge agents directly, not centralized databases. This delivers sub-2-second latency (vs. 15-60 seconds for competitors), 400+ pre-configured alerts for immediate value, and AI-powered troubleshooting built-in. Plus, mobile access is included at a fixed per-node price with no per-device or per-user charges - 90% cost reduction vs. competitors.

No. Netdata Mobile monitors your infrastructure (servers, containers, cloud, databases, networks) from your phone - it’s not a mobile APM tool. If you need to monitor mobile application performance (crashes, user sessions, app-specific metrics), consider tools like Firebase Crashlytics or Embrace. Netdata excels at monitoring the infrastructure that powers your applications.

Netdata ships with 400+ pre-configured component-level alert templates based on real-world operational experience. These alerts use intelligent thresholds with rolling windows that adapt to workload patterns - not simple fixed thresholds. Additionally, ML-based anomaly detection provides a separate signal that surfaces unusual behavior across all metrics, giving you another lens to view your infrastructure.

Tap ‘Ask AI’ on any alert to get instant root cause analysis in plain language. Netdata’s AI Co-Engineer analyzes complete infrastructure context, identifies the root cause, explains cascading effects, and suggests fixes - all from your mobile device. You can also generate automated AI Insights reports (Infrastructure Summary, Anomaly Analysis, Capacity Planning) in 2-3 minutes and share PDF reports with stakeholders directly from the app.

Anomaly Advisor automatically ranks thousands of metrics by relevance during incidents. Instead of manually hunting through dashboards, the root cause appears in the top 30-50 results - accessible from your mobile device. This dramatically accelerates troubleshooting by surfacing what matters most, showing cascading failures, and identifying blast radius - all without query languages or manual analysis.

Netdata delivers sub-2-second latency from infrastructure event to mobile notification. This is possible because alerts are evaluated at the edge (where data is generated), not in centralized cloud services. Alerts are evaluated locally, then immediately pushed to mobile - significantly faster than competitors that must process data through centralized databases before generating notifications.

No. Mobile access is included in your Netdata Business or Homelab plan at no additional cost. There are no per-user charges, no per-device fees, and no per-notification costs. Your entire team can use the mobile app on unlimited devices - the price is based only on the number of infrastructure nodes monitored.

Netdata Mobile requires internet connectivity to receive push notifications and query infrastructure data. However, Netdata’s edge-native architecture means agents continue collecting data locally even during network partitions. When connectivity is restored, mobile automatically reconnects and displays the latest data. For complete offline access, use Netdata’s local dashboards directly on agents/parents.

Setup takes about 60 seconds: (1) Download the app from App Store or Google Play, (2) Sign in to your Netdata Cloud account, (3) Your infrastructure appears automatically based on your existing Netdata setup. No mobile-specific configuration required - alerts, dashboards, and AI features work automatically based on your existing Netdata infrastructure.

Netdata Mobile maintains data sovereignty - all metrics and logs stay on-premises. Only metadata (node names, chart titles, alert configurations) is synchronized to Netdata Cloud. When you query data from mobile, it’s fetched directly from your distributed agents/parents, not from a centralized cloud database. Your observability data never leaves your infrastructure.

Yes. Netdata provides flexible notification routing and alert filtering. You can configure which alerts generate mobile notifications, set severity thresholds, create custom notification rules, and define different routing for on-call vs. off-shift hours. Critical alerts can bypass Do Not Disturb when configured. All settings are managed through Netdata Cloud and apply automatically to mobile.

Yes. Mobile notifications include context-rich information (affected services, baseline comparisons) that can be shared with team members. You can generate AI Insights reports from mobile and share PDF incident analyses with stakeholders. For advanced team coordination, Netdata integrates with Slack, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and other collaboration tools.

Netdata delivers 90% cost reduction vs. Datadog/New Relic. Netdata’s fixed per-node pricing includes mobile for unlimited users, ML, AI, and logs - no per-host charges, no data volume fees, no surprise bills. See our pricing page for details.

Netdata’s distributed architecture provides resilience. If a Parent fails, agents continue collecting data locally and can connect to other Parents in your cluster. Mobile notifications continue working through available Parents. When the failed Parent recovers, agents automatically replicate any missed data. There’s no single point of failure - mobile monitoring remains operational even during partial infrastructure outages.

Yes, via Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is available via Netdata Cloud for infrastructure-wide access (Business/Homelab plan) and on every Agent/Parent for direct local access (free, open-source). Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other LLMs to ask infrastructure questions in natural language with complete context from Netdata’s edge intelligence. This ‘bring your own LLM’ approach works alongside Netdata’s managed AI features.

Yes. Netdata automatically discovers and monitors Kubernetes clusters, pods, containers, and services. Mobile alerts include container-specific context (namespace, pod name, resource limits). You can view container metrics, logs, and anomalies from mobile. Netdata’s edge-native architecture is ideal for ephemeral container environments - agents track short-lived containers without missing data.

Netdata reduces alert noise through component-level alerts with intelligent configuration - 400+ pre-configured templates based on real-world operational experience use rolling windows and adaptive thresholds, not fixed values. ML-based anomaly detection (18 models per metric) runs as a separate signal providing additional visibility into unusual behavior, but does not filter alerts directly. This combination helps you focus on actionable issues.

Netdata Mobile Apps provide native iOS/Android experiences optimized for alerts and notifications: push notifications that bypass Do Not Disturb, notification center with alert history, quick access to AI troubleshooting, and mobile-optimized alert management. Mobile web access (via browser) provides full dashboard capabilities for deep troubleshooting. Use mobile apps for alert triage and immediate response; use mobile web for comprehensive analysis when needed.
