About Netdata
Netdata collects thousands of metrics a second from the system, its services and the network, and presents them as interactive charts without you writing a single collector or dashboard. Auto-discovery covers most common services, so a database or a web server on the same box is graphed automatically.
Data is stored on the machine itself rather than shipped to a central collector, which keeps it fast and keeps it yours. Machine learning models built into the agent flag anomalies, and alarms come preconfigured. Netdata Cloud is an optional paid layer for viewing many machines at once.
Strengths
- Per-second metrics with dashboards that work the moment it is installed
- Auto-discovers common services and graphs them without configuration
- Metrics stay on the machine unless you choose to send them anywhere
- Anomaly detection and preconfigured alarms in the agent itself
Limitations
- The sheer number of charts is overwhelming at first
- Uses more memory and disk than a minimal metrics agent
- Long retention across many machines pushes you toward the paid cloud
- The Windows agent is newer and covers less than the Linux one
Details
- Pricing
- Freemium · The agent is free and open source under the GPL 3.0. Netdata Cloud has a free tier and paid plans for larger deployments.
