Netdata
Real-time infrastructure monitoring with per-second metrics, ML anomaly detection and AI‑d
Netdata is an infrastructure monitoring platform built around an open-source agent that collects, stores, and analyzes metrics locally, paired with a managed cloud service for centralized dashboards and troubleshooting. It addresses the need for per-second metric collection without sampling, keeping observability data on-premises while providing a unified view across servers, containers, virtual machines, and IoT devices.
The platform includes the Netdata Agent, Netdata Cloud, and a mobile app for iOS and Android. It offers 800+ integrations with zero configuration, machine learning anomaly detection, out-of-the-box dashboards and alerts, centralized metrics streaming via Parent nodes, log management, network monitoring (NetFlow/sFlow/IPFIX, SNMP), synthetic tests, and application performance monitoring. Netdata AI investigates alerts, explains root causes in plain language, and suggests fixes, with MCP connections to tools like GitHub, PagerDuty, and Atlassian. Deployment options include the managed SaaS cloud, on-premises Cloud for air-gapped environments, and Kubernetes/Docker support.
Netdata is aimed at DevOps, SRE, and infrastructure teams. It is packaged with a free Community tier limited to active nodes and dashboards, a per-node Business plan with a free trial, and an Enterprise On-Premise edition starting at 200 node licenses with priority support.
