Infrastructure MonitoringSee Every Second of Your Infrastructure’s Pulse
True real-time monitoring with per-second visibility, ML-powered anomaly detection on every metric, and AI troubleshooting that cuts MTTR by 80% - all while keeping your data sovereign and reducing costs by 90%.
Why Infrastructure Teams Choose Netdata
Built for operations teams who need instant visibility without the complexity
True Real-Time Visibility
Per-second data collection with sub-2-second latency. See problems as they happen, not minutes later when it’s too late.
ML on Every Metric
18 unsupervised models per metric detect anomalies automatically with 99% false positive reduction. No manual tuning required.
60-Second Deployment
From installation to first dashboard in 60 seconds. Auto-discovery, algorithmic dashboards, and 400+ pre-configured alerts work instantly.
90% Cost Reduction
Transparent per-node pricing for infrastructure monitoring, with no charges for metrics volume, Logs Monitoring (querying logs in place), users, data retention or containers, at a fraction of competitor costs.
Complete Data Sovereignty
Metrics, logs and traces stay on your infrastructure. Only metadata routes to Cloud for unified dashboards and team collaboration.
Root Cause in 30-50 Metrics
Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics and surfaces root cause in top 30-50 results. AI explains what broke and why.

Weeks to months deployment
ML Anomaly Detection
✅ All Metrics
18 models per metric, 99% FP reduction
⚠️ Selected Metrics
Manual configuration, high false positives
Data Sovereignty
✅ Complete
All data stays on-premises
❌ Centralized
Data egress to vendor cloud
Pricing Model
✅ Per-Node
Predictable per-node pricing, no charges for metrics volume

Why Infrastructure Teams Love Netdata
Real feedback from operations teams managing complex infrastructures
Instant Deployment Value
From installation to first dashboard in 60 seconds. Auto-discovery found everything we needed to monitor without any configuration.
True Real-Time Visibility
Per-second monitoring catches transient issues our previous minute-based tool completely missed. We finally see what’s happening.
Precision Anomaly Detection
18 models per metric means we see real anomalies, not statistical noise. The consensus-based approach is remarkably accurate.
Dramatic Cost Savings
Switched from our previous vendor and achieved 90% cost reduction. Predictable per-node pricing with no surprises from metrics volume.
Data Sovereignty Matters
All our metrics stay on-premises. Only metadata goes to Cloud for dashboards. Perfect for our compliance requirements.
Root Cause in Minutes
Anomaly Advisor surfaces the root cause in top 30-50 metrics. What used to take an hour now takes 3 minutes.
No Query Languages
Point-and-click analysis means our entire team can troubleshoot effectively. No PromQL experts required.
Scales Effortlessly
Went from 50 to 500 nodes with zero architectural changes. Cost and performance scaled linearly.

Distributed Tracing In Netdata: OpenTelemetry Traces
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.
