Linux Monitoring & ObservabilitySee Every Second of Your Linux Infrastructure
Netdata 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.
Why DevOps Teams Choose Netdata for Linux
Complete visibility without the complexity
True Real-Time Monitoring
Per-second data collection with sub-2-second latency. Catch transient issues invisible to 10-60 second monitoring.
ML on Every Metric
18 unsupervised models per metric detect anomalies automatically. 99% false positive reduction through consensus.
60 Seconds to Production
One-line install, zero configuration. Auto-discovers services, generates dashboards, trains ML models instantly.
90% Cost Reduction
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.
Automatic Root Cause Analysis
Anomaly Advisor ranks thousands of metrics by relevance. Root cause in top 30-50 results within seconds.
