80% of decision-makers globally acknowledge that digital infrastructure is essential for reaching business goals. However, IT infrastructure is becoming increasingly distributed and complex. Organizations are managing hundreds—even thousands—of nodes across cloud, on-premise, and edge environments. This predicament makes effective monitoring across all systems more essential than ever. In turn, this drives the demand for valuable real-time insights through scalable monitoring solutions like Netdata.

If you’re managing a large infrastructure but haven’t fully embraced Netdata, now is the time to reconsider. Let’s take a look at the benefits you’ll get, below.

Important Changes to the Netdata Agent Dashboard

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Important Notice: These changes ONLY impact users of the Netdata Agent Dashboard not connected to Netdata Cloud.

Dear Netdata Community,

We are writing to inform you of upcoming changes to the Netdata Agent Dashboard, which will take effect in the coming weeks. This change impacts users from the soon to be released Netdata v2.0 onwards (and also on the Netdata v1.47 nightly releases). Currently, the Open-Source Netdata Agents allow unauthorized and unlimited Agent dashboard access. From Netdata v2.0 onwards, all Netdata Dashboards (Agent and Cloud) will offer exactly the same functionality under the same policy. Netdata Agent Dashboard will use Netdata Cloud as an SSO provider, ensuring dashboard access is authenticated and validated by Netdata Cloud, users will have the option to proceed with an unauthorized local dashboard but this will no longer be the default.

How and why we’re bringing long-term storage to Netdata

We’ve built a lot of amazing things into the open-source Netdata monitoring system. But, no matter how far we’ve come, we’ll always be proud of how little RAM it uses.

Right now, Netdata stores metrics in your system’s RAM using a ridiculously efficient database. It only saves or loads historical metrics from disk when you restart it. With this system, Netdata can be both low-resource and exhaustive in its collection of real-time metrics.
