See Every Second of Your Cloud Infrastructure

Netdata provides per-second granularity (compared to 1-5 minute intervals), unified multi-cloud visibility, and 90% cost savings. Native cloud monitoring tools are limited to their respective clouds and charge based on data volume. Netdata works across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises with flat per-node pricing and zero data volume charges.

Yes, for infrastructure monitoring. Netdata provides superior real-time visibility (per-second compared to per-minute), 90% cost reduction, and complete data sovereignty. For distributed tracing and code-level APM, complement Netdata with specialized APM tools until our trace support launches (Q2 2026). Most customers replace infrastructure monitoring with Netdata and save 90% while gaining better visibility.

Netdata provides a unified dashboard for AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises infrastructure. Automatic discovery works across cloud boundaries. Global filters let you slice by cloud provider, region, or any custom label. No context switching between provider consoles. Same per-second visibility everywhere.

Netdata uses predictable per-node pricing with no data volume charges. Monitor unlimited metrics, logs, and users without additional fees. P90 billing excludes traffic spikes and peak days, so you never pay for temporary usage increases. Visit the pricing page for current rates and volume discounts.

Yes, natively. Helm chart deployment in 2 minutes. Automatic discovery of pods, containers, nodes, and services. Per-second metrics for ephemeral workloads. Handles pod churn and high cardinality gracefully. Works across EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters. No manual configuration as clusters scale.

Three ways: (1) Flat per-node pricing with zero data volume charges - monitor unlimited metrics and logs without penalties. (2) Edge processing eliminates data transfer and centralized storage costs. (3) Storage efficiency (0.6 bytes/sample) enables years of retention in gigabytes, not terabytes. P90 billing excludes traffic spikes and peak days.

All metrics and logs stay on your infrastructure. Netdata is SOC 2 Type 2 certified with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS compliance built-in. Only metadata (hostnames, chart titles) routes to Netdata Cloud for unified dashboards. Queries execute at the edge. Zero metric or log storage in Cloud. Complete data sovereignty.

60 seconds for first agent. One-line install with automatic discovery of all cloud resources. Pre-configured dashboards and 400+ alerts work instantly. For 500 nodes: 1-2 days including Parent setup and team onboarding. No weeks of configuration or dashboard building required.

Yes. Single dashboard for cloud and datacenter infrastructure. Same per-second visibility everywhere. Automatic correlation across cloud boundaries. Deploy Parents in each region for centralized dashboards. Works with air-gapped environments via on-premises Netdata Cloud.

Netdata reduces alert fatigue through component-level alerts that are more accurate than generic thresholds, and intelligent alert configuration using rolling windows instead of fixed values. Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics to surface root causes in the top 30-50 results, helping you focus on what matters. ML-powered anomaly detection provides an additional signal for investigation but operates separately from the alerting system.

Yes, both natively. Linux: systemd-journal integration, eBPF kernel monitoring, 800+ collectors. Windows: Native Event Logs, ETW, TraceLogging, performance counters, IIS, SQL Server, Active Directory, Hyper-V. Same per-second visibility on both platforms. Unified dashboard for mixed environments.

Revolutionary zero-pipeline approach. Direct systemd-journal access (Linux) and Windows Event Log (Windows) eliminates log shipping, indexing, and storage multiplication. Query 1 million entries before sampling - 200× more accurate than Elasticsearch. 90% cost reduction compared to traditional log management. Instant correlation with metrics (same source).

Zero learning curve. No query languages required (no PromQL, SQL, or custom DSLs). NIDL framework provides point-and-click analysis. Algorithmic dashboards generate automatically. AI Chat answers questions in natural language. Junior engineers get senior-level visibility instantly. Time to value: 60 seconds.

Yes, linearly. Distributed architecture processes data at the edge. Adding 1,000 nodes doesn’t slow existing monitoring. Proven at 100,000+ node deployments. Deploy Parents every 500 nodes for centralization. Each Parent handles 2M metrics/second with 20 cores and 80GB RAM. No architectural rewrites as you scale.

Distributed tracing launches Q2 2026. Currently, Netdata excels at infrastructure monitoring with zero-code application insights (process-level CPU, memory, I/O, networking via apps.plugin). For code-level tracing, complement Netdata with specialized APM tools. Most customers replace infrastructure monitoring (90% cost savings) and keep APM for traces.

Our benchmark shows Netdata provides 36% less CPU, 88% less RAM, 97% less disk I/O, 16× faster queries, 15× longer retention, and 100% sample completeness (compared to Prometheus 93.7%). Zero configuration compared to manual setup. Algorithmic dashboards compared to manual building. Built-in ML compared to add-ons. Same open-source foundation with superior performance and ease of use.

Everything: unlimited metrics, logs, users, dashboards, and integrations. 400+ pre-configured alerts. ML anomaly detection on all metrics. AI Co-Engineer with 10 free sessions/month. RBAC, SSO, SCIM. Windows monitoring. Centralized configuration. Enterprise notifications. Audit logs. 99.9% SLA. Premium support. No hidden charges or feature gating.

Yes. 14-day free trial with unlimited nodes and full features. No credit card required. Community plan (free, 5 nodes) for personal use. Homelab plan for personal non-commercial use with unlimited nodes. Open-source agent (free, unlimited) for self-hosted. Start with trial, scale to Business when ready.

SOC 2 Type 2 certified. Supports GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA (with BAA), PCI DSS. All metrics and logs stay on your infrastructure (complete data sovereignty). Only metadata routes to Cloud. Air-gapped on-premises deployment available. Automatic LDAP/AD group mapping via SCIM 2.0. Audit logs for compliance monitoring.

Phase 1 (Week 1-2): Deploy Netdata on 10-50 nodes, run parallel, validate savings. Phase 2 (Month 1-2): Migrate all infrastructure monitoring to Netdata, achieve 90% cost reduction. Phase 3 (Month 3-6): Deploy Parents, configure log aggregation, integrate with ITSM. Phase 4 (Month 6+): Evaluate complete APM replacement when distributed tracing launches (Q2 2026).
