You can zoom, pan, select time ranges, and see per-second granularity across thousands of metrics. But when you spotted something interesting, the next steps usually meant leaving the chart: opening another tab to check a related metric, navigating to the correlation tool, or pulling up a different time range for comparison. The investigation workflow lived outside the chart, even though the chart was where the investigation started.</p>https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/converse-with-everything-in-netdata/Thu, 02 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/converse-with-everything-in-netdata/<p>Netdata AI can already troubleshoot your alerts and generate Insights reports. What it couldn&rsquo;t do, until now, was have a back-and-forth conversation. You could get a one-shot analysis, but you couldn&rsquo;t ask follow-up questions, pull in additional context, or go from a quick question to a full investigation without starting over.</p> <p>We&rsquo;ve added a conversational layer to Netdata AI. You&rsquo;ll notice a new blue chat icon throughout Netdata Cloud, on charts, in the alerts table, on Insights reports, and in the reports list. Click it, and you&rsquo;re in a conversation where the thing you clicked on is already the context. No copy-pasting metric names, no explaining what you&rsquo;re looking at.</p>https://www.netdata.cloud/features/aiml/ai-co-engineer/Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/features/aiml/ai-co-engineer/Netdata&rsquo;s AI Co-Engineer combines edge-native machine learning with flexible AI integration, providing instant expert-level insights while keeping your data sovereign and secure.https://www.netdata.cloud/features/aiml/reporting/Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/features/aiml/reporting/Generate professional infrastructure reports in minutes, not hours.

Now, based on the success and maturity of the capabilities, we are proud to announce that <strong>Netdata&rsquo;s AI investigations and insights are graduating from research preview to General Availability.</strong></p>https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/automated-investigations/Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/automated-investigations/<p>How many times has your team stared at a dashboard, pointed to a spike, and asked a question that charts alone can&rsquo;t answer? &ldquo;What was the real impact of that deployment?&rdquo; &ldquo;Why are our Kubernetes pods in the us-east-1 cluster suddenly crashing?&rdquo; &ldquo;Are we wasting money on overprovisioned servers?&rdquo;</p> <!--truncate--> <p>Answering these questions is the real work of operations and SRE. It often kicks off a time-consuming scramble, sending engineers down rabbit holes for hours, days, or even weeks. You dig through logs, correlate metrics across services, and piece together clues from Slack conversations and Jira tickets.</p>https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/automated-alert-troubleshooting/Sun, 03 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/automated-alert-troubleshooting/<p>The 2 AM pager alert. For anyone in Ops, SRE, or IT administration, those words trigger a familiar sense of dread. An alert has fired. Is it a real fire, or another false alarm waking you from a dead sleep? The pressure is on. Every minute of downtime costs money and reputation, but troubleshooting a complex system when you&rsquo;re sleep-deprived is a Herculean task.</p> <!--truncate--> <p>This cycle is a massive drain on engineering resources. The daily grind of sifting through alerts, trying to distinguish signal from noise, and manually correlating metrics to find a root cause consumes countless hours. This constant firefighting leads to alert fatigue, where even critical notifications start to get ignored. The core questions are always the same: Is this a real problem? What is the potential impact? Why did this trigger? What do I do next? Answering them is a slow, manual, and often stressful process.</p>https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/netdata-integration-with-ilert-streamlining-monitoring-and-incident-response/Mon, 14 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/netdata-integration-with-ilert-streamlining-monitoring-and-incident-response/<p>Netdata now integrates with ilert, a leading incident response platform.
