18 unsupervised models per metric detect anomalies automatically. 99% false positive reduction through consensus.

60 Seconds to Production

One-line install, zero configuration. Auto-discovers services, generates dashboards, trains ML models instantly.

90% Cost Reduction

Predictable per-node pricing. No charges for metrics, logs, or users. Unlimited visibility without surprise bills.

Automatic Root Cause Analysis

Anomaly Advisor ranks thousands of metrics by relevance. Root cause in top 30-50 results within seconds.

Complete Platform Consolidation

Replace 7+ tools with one. Metrics, logs, ML, AI, alerts, and console access unified in single agent.

Trusted by DevOps teams worldwide

Transform Linux Operations with Netdata

Actionable Alerts Through Intelligent Design

Traditional monitoring floods teams with thousands of alerts daily - only a fraction actionable. Netdata reduces noise through component-level alerts with intelligent thresholds, not static values. 400+ pre-configured alerts cover common issues out of the box with context-aware notifications. Anomaly Advisor automatically correlates issues across infrastructure, surfacing root cause in top 30-50 metrics. Stop drowning in noise, start resolving real problems.

Slash Infrastructure Costs by 90%

Organizations spend more on monitoring than necessary. Netdata’s per-node pricing eliminates volume-based charges - no fees for metrics, logs, or users. Edge-native architecture uses 36% less CPU and 88% less RAM than centralized solutions while providing 15× longer retention. Distributed processing keeps data local, eliminating egress fees. Predictable costs that scale linearly with infrastructure, not exponentially with data.

Predictable per-node pricing

Slash Infrastructure Costs by 90%

Accelerate Troubleshooting with AI-Powered Insights

Most teams report MTTR over 1 hour. Netdata’s AI Co-Engineer analyzes infrastructure in natural language, explaining anomalies and suggesting fixes instantly. Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics automatically, revealing cascading failures and blast radius. Browser-based Functions replace SSH for live diagnostics - processes, connections, logs, all with history. Per-second granularity shows exact sequence of events. Reduce MTTR by 80% through automated intelligence.

Deploy Instantly with Zero Configuration

Traditional monitoring requires weeks of setup - learning query languages, building dashboards, configuring collectors. Netdata installs in 60 seconds with one command. Auto-discovers 800+ integrations, generates algorithmic dashboards, trains ML models automatically. No PromQL, no YAML, no manual configuration. NIDL framework provides point-and-click analysis - junior engineers get senior-level capabilities instantly. Focus on solving problems, not managing tools.

Scale Linearly from 1 to 100,000+ Nodes

Centralized monitoring hits bottlenecks as infrastructure grows. Netdata’s distributed architecture scales linearly - adding nodes doesn’t degrade existing performance. Each Agent processes data locally, eliminating central bottleneck. Parents aggregate streams without becoming chokepoints. Proven at 100,000+ nodes in production, processing 4.5+ billion metrics/second globally. Resource usage per node stays constant regardless of fleet size. True horizontal scalability without architectural rewrites.

Scale Linearly from 1 to 100,000+ Nodes

Manage Logs Without Pipelines or Indexing

Traditional log management costs millions - Elasticsearch clusters, ingestion pipelines, storage multiplication. Netdata queries systemd-journal files directly where they live. Zero pipeline, zero indexing cluster, zero data movement. Every field automatically indexed by journald. Analyzes 1M entries before sampling vs 5K for traditional tools - 200× more accurate. Instant correlation with metrics from same source. 90% cost reduction vs Elasticsearch/Splunk while maintaining complete visibility.
