Per-second metrics with sub-2-second latency - catch microbursts and transient issues invisible to minute-averaged tools

Zero-Configuration Deployment

60-second install to full visibility - 800+ integrations auto-discovered, dashboards generated algorithmically, ML trained automatically

ML Anomaly Detection

18 models per metric with 99% false positive reduction - find root cause in top 30-50 results without manual correlation

Predictable Per-Node Pricing

Flat per-node pricing eliminates volume-based surprises - unlimited metrics, logs, and users at predictable rate

Unlimited Cardinality

Distributed architecture eliminates cardinality limits - monitor high-cardinality microservices without exponential costs

Point-and-Click Analysis

No query languages required - NIDL framework enables interactive exploration without PromQL or SQL expertise

Trusted by platform teams worldwide

Platform Engineering Excellence Through Intelligent Automation

Instant Platform-Wide Visibility

Deploy comprehensive observability in 60 seconds - not weeks. Netdata auto-discovers your entire infrastructure, generates algorithmic dashboards, and activates ML anomaly detection automatically. From Kubernetes clusters to bare metal, get immediate insight without configuration overhead.

60 seconds to full visibility

See Auto-Discovery

Instant Platform-Wide Visibility

Intelligent Anomaly Detection & Correlation

Netdata trains 18 unsupervised ML models per metric, achieving 99% false positive reduction in anomaly detection through consensus-based evaluation. The Anomaly Advisor automatically correlates issues across your infrastructure, surfacing root cause in the top 30-50 metrics - enabling faster investigation without manual correlation work.

99% false positive reduction
