Misconfigured Alert Detection: Tuning Made Easy

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Netdata ships with hundreds of stock alerts. They cover a wide range of infrastructure conditions and they’re designed with sensible defaults. But “sensible defaults” and “correct for your environment” are not the same thing. A CPU threshold that’s perfectly reasonable for a build server might generate constant noise on a machine running batch jobs. An alert that’s critical for production might be irrelevant in staging, where it fires daily and everyone ignores it.

Multi-Tenant Observability Access Without Data Egress

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Edge-intelligent alerting that delivers component-level precision through 400+ pre-configured templates, zero-configuration deployment, and sub-2-second evaluation latency - all while maintaining visibility during network partitions.

ServiceNow Integration: Streamline Incident Response

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

When a critical alert fires at 2 AM, the last thing your on-call engineer should be doing is manual administrative work. Yet, for many teams, that’s exactly what happens. You see the alert in your monitoring tool, then you have to switch contexts, open a new browser tab, log into your ITSM platform, and manually create an incident—all while your systems are failing.

This “swivel-chairing” between tools is slow, error-prone, and a significant drag on your Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).

ilert Integration: Streamline Monitoring & Response

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Netdata now integrates with ilert, a leading incident response platform. With this integration, the incident management features and alerting capabilities of ilert and the real-time systems monitoring provided by Netdata can be leveraged. By combining both systems, users can not only monitor their infrastructure with fine detail as never before, but also assure the responsiveness of critical alerts to the correct teams swiftly.

What is ilert?

ilert is an end-to-end platform for alerting, on-call management, and status pages, built for the new-age DevOps and SRE teams. It streamlines the entire incident management process by automating key aspects and providing powerful tools to improve efficiency, such as automated on-call duty, multi-level escalations, alert grouping, postmortem document creation, and much more. ilert integrates with monitoring systems, like Netdata, and sends alerts through multiple channels (SMS, phone, push, Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.), ensuring that teams can promptly respond to issues before they impact service.

What is Alert Fatigue and How to Prevent It

Fri, 20 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

What is Alert Fatigue?

This is called alert fatigue where engineers especially DevOps SREs and on-call teams become numb to the many notifications from their monitoring tools. Instead of quickly responding to important issues, engineers may start ignoring or missing crucial alerts due to the overwhelming number of notifications they receive. That is no small issue because that causes slower incident response times, possible service outages, and less reliability.

Robust monitoring is a must-have in the high-speed world of cloud infrastructure and microservices. However, when every little spike sets off an alarm, it is hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. So in the end, alerts lose their meaning and it becomes a society of ignoring alarms, even when they shouldn’t be ignored.

How To Mute Alerts During Maintenance Windows

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000

The health management APIs in Netdata allows teams to eliminate unnecessary alerting during scheduled maintenance, testing, auto scaling events, and instance reboots.

For all SREs, it is absolutely crucial to filter out expected events during maintenance windows and quickly pinpoint critical issues in your infrastructure. Every minute is crucial while dealing with troubleshooting issues and any distractions that may hijack the troubleshooting process should be subdued. The health management APIs in Netdata allows teams to eliminate unnecessary alerting during scheduled maintenance, testing, auto scaling events, and instance reboots.

Actionable Alerts With Fewer False Positives

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Think about any sport or competitive activity, whether that’s football or a spelling bee. They always feature at least one person who acts as a moderator, referee, or judge. With their domain expertise, this person watches everyone’s behavior and constantly compares that against a set of rules. If someone crosses that threshold, they blow a whistle or throw up a flag. They are, in effect, saying that things have gone from OK to not OK.

Centralize Infrastructure With Alarm Notifications

Thu, 17 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Netdata is architected on every level, across both the open-source Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud, to help you own every layer of your monitoring experience. With this design, all metrics data collected by the Netdata Agent stays distributed on your node, but you also leverage Netdata Cloud’s dashboards and multi-node visualizations to view the health and performance of an entire infrastructure from a single application.

StackPulse: Automated Incident Remediation Workflow

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Historical note: StackPulse later became Torq. Torq now provides a security-operations platform, not the reliability product described in this 2020 article.

Teams of all types use Netdata to monitor the health of their nodes with preconfigured alarms and real-time interactive visualizations, and when incidents happen, they troubleshoot issues with thousands of per-second metrics on Netdata Cloud. But based on the complexity of the team and the infrastructure they monitor, some parts of their incident management, such as pre-planned communication and escalation processes, or even automated remediation, need to happen outside of the Netdata ecosystem.

Release 1.16.0: Smarter binaries and built-in TLS
