Protect Every Transaction, Optimize Every Second

Netdata provides comprehensive audit logging with Forward-Secure Sealing for tamper detection, configurable retention policies meeting 12-month PCI DSS requirements, and automated daily log reviews. All configuration changes, user actions, and alert transitions are logged with cryptographic verification. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and supports PCI DSS Requirement 10 for tracking and monitoring all access to system components.

Netdata provides 1-second monitoring granularity suitable for most trading systems, payment processors, and transaction engines. For ultra-low-latency high-frequency trading requiring sub-millisecond precision, Netdata excels at infrastructure and database monitoring but should be complemented with specialized trading system monitors. The platform’s per-second visibility is ideal for order management systems, market data feeds, and matching engines.

All metrics and logs stay on your infrastructure - Netdata Cloud stores only metadata (node names, chart definitions, alert configurations). Observability data never leaves your premises, ensuring GDPR, PCI DSS, and regional data residency compliance. For complete air-gapped environments, Netdata Enterprise On-Premise provides the full control plane within your datacenter.

Most financial institutions achieve full operational monitoring in days: Day 1 (design topology and deploy Agents/Parents), Day 2 (configure database credentials and cloud integrations), Day 3 (review alerts and invite users). This is significantly faster than traditional monitoring solutions requiring 6-12 weeks. Zero-configuration deployment with 400+ pre-configured alerts accelerates time to value.

Netdata uses transparent per-node pricing with unlimited metrics, logs, and users - no volume-based surprises. Organizations typically achieve 90% cost reduction compared to traditional monitoring platforms. P90 billing protects against spike-based overcharges, and there are no charges for containers, data retention, or API calls.

Netdata provides light SIEM capabilities including real-time log analysis, anomaly detection on security metrics, and comprehensive audit trails with tamper-evident logging. For complete SIEM functionality including threat intelligence feeds and automated threat hunting, Netdata should complement dedicated SIEM solutions. The zero-pipeline log architecture reduces costs by 90% while maintaining full searchability.

Netdata trains 18 unsupervised k-means models per metric using different time windows. An anomaly is flagged only when ALL 18 models agree - achieving 99% false positive reduction with a theoretical rate of 10^-36. This consensus-based approach is highly accurate at detecting genuine anomalies. Models train automatically with zero configuration required and first results are available after 15 minutes of baseline data collection.

Netdata provides native support for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, Redis, CockroachDB, Cassandra, ClickHouse, and 20+ other databases. Each integration includes 100+ metrics covering connections, queries, locks, replication, cache performance, and resource utilization - all collected at 1-second precision with <5% CPU overhead.

Netdata’s distributed architecture keeps data local while providing unified visibility. Deploy Parents per region for centralized dashboards without moving sensitive data. Linear scalability from 10 to 100,000+ nodes with predictable costs - no architectural rewrites as you grow. Active-active Parent clustering provides high availability with automatic failover.

Distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry is planned for Q2 2026. Currently, Netdata excels at infrastructure, database, and application-level monitoring. For microservices requiring distributed tracing today, complement Netdata with Jaeger or Tempo while maintaining overall cost savings versus full commercial APM solutions.

Business plans include email/ticket support during business hours with SLA guarantees. Enterprise plans provide 24/7 availability with dedicated support teams, phone support, and custom SLAs. Professional services include implementation assistance, architecture design, migration support, and training programs. All plans include comprehensive documentation and active community support.

Netdata supports OpenTelemetry (metrics and logs), Prometheus scraping and Remote Write, StatsD, and REST API integration. Export data to InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSDB, and TimescaleDB. Alert notifications integrate with PagerDuty, Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and 25+ platforms. The open architecture prevents vendor lock-in while complementing existing observability investments.

Yes - Netdata provides comprehensive Kubernetes monitoring with native support for kubelet metrics, kube-state-metrics, and kube-proxy. Monitor Docker, Podman, containerd, and LXC containers with per-container CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network metrics. Helm chart deployment includes DaemonSet for per-node agents and centralized Parent for unified visibility. Supports PCI DSS compliance requirements for containerized environments.

Business plans include unlimited metrics, logs, and users; ML-based anomaly detection on all metrics; AI Co-Engineer with 10 free sessions/month; 400+ pre-configured alerts; SSO and SCIM integration; Windows monitoring; centralized configuration management; enterprise notification integrations; audit logs; 99.9% SLA; and premium support. No hidden costs or feature gating.
