See Every Second of Your Infrastructure’s Pulse

Netdata provides per-second monitoring (10-60× faster than Prometheus’s 10-30s default) with zero configuration - no PromQL, no manual dashboards, no YAML. While Prometheus + Grafana requires weeks of setup and specialized skills, Netdata delivers instant value in 60 seconds with auto-discovery, algorithmic dashboards, and ML anomaly detection on every metric. Plus, Netdata benchmark shows 88% less RAM and 97% less disk I/O than Prometheus at scale. Compare Netdata vs Prometheus.

Netdata collects data every second with sub-2-second total latency from event to insight. Most ‘real-time’ tools collect every 10-60 seconds with additional pipeline delays. This matters because most operational anomalies last 2-10 seconds - minute-based monitoring misses 90% of incidents. Netdata’s per-second granularity catches microbursts, transient spikes, and brief anomalies that averaged data hides. Learn about real-time monitoring.

Netdata charges predictable per-node pricing with no volume charges - unlimited metrics, logs, containers, and users included. Traditional vendors charge per-host PLUS per-metric PLUS per-container PLUS per-user, leading to significantly higher costs. Plus, edge-native architecture eliminates expensive centralized storage and data egress costs. See pricing details.

Yes. Netdata Agents work completely offline with local dashboards at http://localhost:19999. For centralized dashboards in air-gapped environments, Netdata Cloud On-Premise provides the full Cloud stack on your infrastructure with complete feature parity. All observability data stays on-premises - only metadata travels to Cloud (if connected). Explore deployment options.

Netdata trains 18 unsupervised k-means models per metric using different time windows. Anomalies are flagged only when ALL 18 models agree, achieving a theoretical false positive rate of 10^-36 (1%^18). Models retrain automatically every 3 hours, adapting to infrastructure changes without human input. This consensus-based approach achieves 99% false positive reduction in anomaly detection. Learn about ML accuracy.

Yes. Netdata’s edge-native architecture is ideal for ephemeral workloads. Each Agent operates independently, so pods appear/disappear automatically in dashboards without manual configuration. Per-second granularity captures short-lived pods (10-30 seconds) that minute-based tools miss entirely. Helm chart deployment with DaemonSet auto-scales with your cluster. Discover K8s monitoring.

Netdata monitors everything: servers (Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD), VMs (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), containers (Docker, containerd, Podman, LXC), Kubernetes, cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), databases (40+ integrations), web servers, message queues, network devices (SNMP), storage systems, and hardware sensors. 800+ integrations with 4000+ Nagios plugins provide comprehensive coverage with auto-discovery. Browse integrations.

Netdata ships 400+ pre-configured alerts that work out of the box. Component-level alerts target specific instances instead of generic aggregates, providing more accurate and actionable signals. Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics and surfaces root cause in top 30-50 results, eliminating manual hunting. AI Chat explains alerts in plain language with recommended actions. Explore alerting.

No. Netdata provides zero-configuration deployment with auto-discovery, algorithmic dashboards, and pre-configured alerts. No query languages required - point-and-click NIDL framework does everything PromQL does, faster. AI troubleshooting gives junior engineers senior-level insights automatically. Console replacement eliminates SSH for debugging. Most teams are productive within minutes of installation. See how it works.

Netdata’s edge-native architecture distributes intelligence to each node, enabling linear scaling without architectural changes. Adding 1,000 nodes costs and performs the same as the first 100 - no central bottlenecks, no exponential complexity. Deploy Parent clusters every ~500 nodes for centralized storage and high availability. Proven at 100,000+ node deployments processing billions of metrics/second globally. Understand scalability.

Everything: unlimited metrics, unlimited logs, unlimited containers, unlimited users, unlimited dashboards, unlimited retention (storage on-prem), ML anomaly detection, AI troubleshooting (10 free sessions/month), 400+ pre-configured alerts, Windows monitoring, SSO/SCIM, premium support, and all features. No volume charges, no feature gating. Predictable per-node pricing with volume discounts. View pricing.

Netdata provides per-second monitoring (vs their 15-60s), 90% cost reduction (transparent per-node vs complex volume-based), complete data sovereignty (all data stays on-prem vs centralized), zero configuration (vs weeks of setup), and edge-native ML (vs cloud-dependent). Netdata benchmark shows 88% less RAM and 97% less disk I/O than Prometheus while delivering faster queries and longer retention. Compare solutions.

Yes. Netdata provides zero-pipeline logs through direct systemd-journal access (Linux) and Windows Event Logs. No Logstash, Fluentd, or Elasticsearch required - 90% cost reduction vs traditional log infrastructure. Every field automatically indexed, instant correlation with metrics, and 200× more accurate field statistics (analyzes 1M entries vs 5K for traditional tools). Learn about logs.

AI Insights generates automated reports (Infrastructure Summary, Anomaly Analysis, Capacity Planning, Performance Optimization) in 2-3 minutes. AI Chat answers questions in plain language via Model Context Protocol (MCP). AI Investigations provide custom deep dives. Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics for root cause analysis. Ask AI on every alert explains issues with recommended actions. Explore AI features.

Yes. Netdata Agent is GPL v3+ licensed with 76,000+ GitHub stars and 1.5 million downloads per day. Complete source code available, fork and modify freely.
