See Every Signal in Your Network Infrastructure

Netdata focuses on infrastructure-level monitoring rather than deep protocol analysis. It provides comprehensive visibility into cloud-native 5G core infrastructure (Kubernetes, containers, microservices), network devices (via SNMP), and API performance (HTTP/REST). For deep 5G protocol analysis (signaling, user plane, subscriber analytics), Netdata complements specialized tools like NETSCOUT or VIAVI. Learn more about Netdata’s cloud capabilities.

Netdata includes 200+ SNMP device profiles for major vendors including Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Nokia, Arista, F5, Palo Alto, Fortinet, AudioCodes, and Avaya. A single agent monitors all vendors with SNMPv1/v2c/v3 support and auto-discovery. Unlike vendor-specific tools, Netdata provides unified dashboards, consistent alerting, and the same interface across all vendors. Explore all integrations.

Organizations typically achieve 90% cost reduction with Netdata’s per-node pricing model compared to volume-based monitoring platforms. Netdata uses predictable per-node pricing with unlimited metrics and logs, eliminating volume-based surprises. Edge processing eliminates data egress charges while maintaining 100% sample completeness. View transparent pricing.

Yes, Netdata is ideal for edge computing. Agents operate autonomously with local ML, alerting, and storage using less than 5% CPU and 150MB RAM. They work independently during network partitions with automatic buffering and failover. This makes Netdata suitable for Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), private 5G networks, and distributed edge sites. Learn about edge computing observability.

Netdata deploys in 60 seconds from installation to full dashboards. Auto-discovery eliminates manual configuration for infrastructure, containers, and applications. ML starts training immediately with first anomaly detection in 15 minutes. 400+ pre-configured alerts activate automatically. This contrasts with traditional tools requiring weeks or months of setup. See zero-configuration deployment.

Yes, Netdata provides native Kubernetes monitoring with auto-discovery of pods, services, and deployments. It monitors containerized network functions, service mesh traffic (Envoy, Traefik), and API performance without instrumentation. Per-second visibility reveals issues in microservices architecture that traditional tools miss. Helm deployment includes DaemonSet for node monitoring and Deployment for centralized Parents. Explore Kubernetes monitoring.

Netdata ensures 100% data sovereignty with all metrics and logs stored on-premises. Zero observability data leaves your infrastructure - only metadata travels to Netdata Cloud for unified dashboards. This design satisfies GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and regional data residency requirements automatically. Netdata is SOC 2 Type 2 certified with support for air-gapped deployments. Learn about data sovereignty.

Netdata trains 18 unsupervised k-means models per metric using different time windows. Anomalies are flagged only when ALL 18 models agree, achieving consensus-based detection. ML runs at the edge during data collection with zero cloud dependency. Models retrain automatically every 3 hours without manual tuning. This provides universal coverage - every metric gets ML, not selective monitoring. Explore ML anomaly detection.

Netdata excels at infrastructure monitoring (servers, containers, Kubernetes, network devices, applications) and can replace tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and general-purpose APM platforms. For telecommunications, Netdata is ideal for cloud-native 5G infrastructure but complements specialized tools for deep protocol analysis (NETSCOUT, VIAVI) and distributed tracing (Jaeger - until Netdata’s tracing ships in Q2 2026). Most organizations use Netdata as their primary infrastructure observability platform. See product overview.

Netdata offers multiple support tiers: Community (forums, Discord), Business (email/ticket support with SLA), and Enterprise (24/7 availability, dedicated teams, phone support). Professional services include implementation assistance, architecture design, migration support, and training programs. For large deployments, Netdata provides on-premises installation with custom SLAs. Contact [email protected] for enterprise requirements.

Netdata improves alert quality through component-level alerts (per-database, per-container, per-interface) that are more actionable than generic thresholds. Intelligent thresholds adapt to workload patterns using rolling windows. Hysteresis protection prevents alert storms. The Anomaly Advisor helps during troubleshooting by ranking metrics by relevance, surfacing root cause in the top 30-50 results. While Netdata significantly improves alert quality and accelerates troubleshooting, human judgment remains important for prioritization. Learn about intelligent alerting.

Netdata’s roadmap includes distributed tracing (Q2 2026) to complete MELT observability, enhanced service mesh visualization, and expanded 5G-specific integrations. The platform continuously adds new collectors based on community feedback. For telecommunications, focus areas include improved Kubernetes observability, enhanced SNMP capabilities, and deeper integration with cloud-native 5G architectures. Join the community to influence roadmap priorities.

Yes, Netdata offers a 14-day free trial with unlimited nodes and no restrictions. The open-source agent is free forever for unlimited nodes with local dashboards. For multi-node dashboards and Cloud features, the Community plan provides 5 nodes free. You can also explore the live demo to see Netdata monitoring real infrastructure. Start your free trial today.

Netdata provides comprehensive data export capabilities via REST API v3, Prometheus Remote Write, and 25+ export targets including InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSDB, TimescaleDB, and cloud platforms. While Netdata does not include native OSS/BSS adapters, it serves as the observability layer that feeds data to existing operational systems. Organizations typically export Netdata metrics to their OSS/BSS platforms for business workflows while using Netdata for real-time troubleshooting. Explore integration options.

Netdata provides extensive documentation at learn.netdata.cloud, including getting started guides, tutorials, video walkthroughs, and architecture deep-dives. The platform requires minimal training due to zero-configuration deployment and query-less NIDL framework. For enterprise deployments, Netdata offers instructor-led training, virtual workshops, and custom curriculum development. The active community forums and Discord server provide peer support. Most teams become productive within hours, not weeks.
