Observability for SysadminsNetdata delivers per-second visibility across your entire infrastructure - from bare metal to Kubernetes - with zero configuration, built-in ML anomaly detection, and predictable per-node pricing. Purpose-built for sysadmins who need instant answers, not weeks of setup.
Built for operations teams managing real infrastructure
One-line install to full observability in 60 seconds. Auto-discovers systems, containers, applications - no configuration files to edit.
Per-second metrics with sub-2-second latency. See problems as they happen, not minutes later when it’s too late.
18 machine learning models per metric achieve 99% false positive reduction in anomaly detection. Identify real anomalies, not statistical noise.
Flat per-node pricing with no surprise bills. Predictable per-node pricing - unlimited metrics, logs, and users included.
Point-and-click analysis with NIDL framework. No PromQL, no SQL, no custom DSLs - just instant insights.
Replace Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and SSH access with one unified platform. Metrics, logs, ML, and AI in a single tool.

Real feedback from operations teams managing real infrastructure
Installed Netdata on 200 servers in one afternoon. Auto-discovery found everything. Dashboards were ready immediately. No configuration needed.
Replaced our monitoring stack with Netdata. Same visibility, better performance, 90% cost reduction. CFO is happy.
Used to get paged constantly for threshold-based false positives. Netdata’s component-level alerts are accurate and actionable. Team morale improved dramatically.
Per-second metrics caught a 5-second CPU spike that was cascading into 30-second outages. Minute-based monitoring never saw it.
Junior engineers can troubleshoot as effectively as seniors. Point-and-click analysis means no query language training required.
Eliminated Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Elasticsearch. One platform, one interface, one vendor relationship. Operations simplified.
