Linux Monitoring & ObservabilityNetdata transforms Linux monitoring with per-second visibility, edge-based ML anomaly detection, and zero-configuration deployment. Monitor any number of servers with predictable per-node costs and instant insights - no query languages, no manual dashboards, no surprise bills.
Complete visibility without the complexity
Per-second data collection with sub-2-second latency. Catch transient issues invisible to 10-60 second monitoring.
18 unsupervised models per metric detect anomalies automatically. 99% false positive reduction through consensus.
One-line install, zero configuration. Auto-discovers services, generates dashboards, trains ML models instantly.
Predictable per-node pricing for infrastructure monitoring, with no charges for metrics volume, Logs Monitoring (querying logs in place), users, data retention or containers. No surprise bills.
Anomaly Advisor ranks thousands of metrics by relevance. Root cause in top 30-50 results within seconds.
Replace 7+ tools with one. Metrics, logs, traces, ML, AI, alerts, and console access unified in single agent.

October 5, 2026
Netdata now ingests OpenTelemetry traces over OTLP on the same Agent that collects your metrics and logs. Spans are stored and indexed on your own infrastructure and explored in the new Traces tab in Netdata Cloud.
October 3, 2026
Your server monitoring dashboard shouldn't be a DIY project. Netdata charts every metric automatically — no query languages, no dashboards to build, ever.
September 8, 2026
Netdata AI now learns your infrastructure the way a new SRE would: a shared context document your team writes, and a memory layer built from conversations that gets more accurate every time you use it.
