Mission-Critical Observability That Keeps Pace With Your Infrastructure

Netdata is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and aligns with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS requirements. For highly regulated environments, you can deploy Netdata on your existing compliant infrastructure or use our on-premises deployment option that keeps all data within your security boundary.

Netdata’s multi-tier storage supports configurable retention with time and size limits. You can configure Tier 0 (per-second), Tier 1 (per-minute), and Tier 2 (per-hour) retention independently - enabling multi-year retention at approximately 0.6 bytes per sample. systemd-journal integration provides Forward Secure Sealing for cryptographic tamper detection.

Netdata uses predictable per-node pricing with no charges for metrics volume, logs volume, or number of users. This eliminates the cost explosions common with volume-based pricing models. Business plan includes unlimited metrics, ML anomaly detection, AI features, and all integrations. Contact us for government-specific pricing and procurement options.

Yes. Netdata Cloud On-Premises provides complete air-gapped deployment with all Cloud features (RBAC, SSO, unified dashboards, AI Insights) running entirely within your datacenter. Agents and Parents also work independently without any Cloud connection, providing local dashboards and full monitoring capabilities.

All observability data (metrics, logs) stays on your infrastructure. Netdata Agents store data locally, Parents aggregate within your network, and only metadata (hostnames, chart titles, alert configurations) travels to Netdata Cloud for unified dashboards. This architecture meets data residency requirements by design.

Initial monitoring begins in 60 seconds with zero-configuration auto-discovery, algorithmic dashboards, and 400+ pre-configured alerts working immediately. ML anomaly detection provides first results in 15 minutes with full model training complete in 48 hours. Enterprise deployments typically reach full production in weeks rather than the months required by traditional solutions.

Business plan includes email/ticket support during business hours with SLA guarantees. Enterprise plan offers 24/7 availability, dedicated support teams, custom SLAs, and phone support. Professional services include architecture design, deployment assistance, migration support, and training programs.

Netdata delivers per-second monitoring (vs. 30-60 seconds typical), 90% cost reduction through edge storage and per-node pricing, zero-configuration deployment (vs. weeks of setup), and 100% data sovereignty (vs. cloud-dependent). Netdata excels at real-time infrastructure monitoring and can integrate with existing solutions for compliance reporting.

Yes. Netdata exports metrics and logs to Splunk, Elastic, Prometheus, and other systems via REST API, Prometheus remote write, streaming, or file-based integration. This allows you to leverage Netdata’s real-time monitoring and edge-based ML while maintaining your existing tools for specific use cases.

Minimal. Netdata requires no query languages (no PromQL, SQL, or custom DSLs), no manual dashboard building, and no alert tuning. Algorithmic dashboards generate automatically, 400+ alerts work out of the box, and AI Co-Engineer provides natural language troubleshooting. Junior engineers get senior-level visibility from day one.

Netdata Cloud On-Premises provides complete air-gapped deployment with all features running within your classified network. Agents and Parents operate independently without any external connectivity. All data stays within your security boundary, and you maintain complete control over updates, configurations, and access.

Standalone Agent: <5% CPU, 150-200 MB RAM, ~5 KiB/s disk I/O. Child Agent (offloaded to Parent): ~2% CPU, 100-150 MB RAM, zero disk I/O. Parent (per 1M metrics/second): ~10 cores, ~40 GB RAM, ~1 MiB/s disk I/O. University of Amsterdam study (ICSOC 2023) confirmed Netdata as the most energy-efficient monitoring solution with the lowest CPU and memory overhead.

Yes. Native Windows agent (Server 2016/2019/2022/2025, Windows 10+) monitors performance counters, services, processes, Hyper-V, Active Directory, IIS, SQL Server, and more. Windows Event Logs (WEL), Event Tracing for Windows (ETW), and TraceLogging (TL) provide comprehensive log management with the same zero-pipeline architecture as Linux.
