AI Troubleshooting
Netdata uses unsupervised machine learning to detect anomalies across your stack without manual threshold configuration. The Anomaly Advisor correlates metrics to identify the root cause of incidents, providing evidence-based troubleshooting instead of guessing. It maps the blast radius of failures automatically to show how one component's dip affects others.

- Plain English insight reports
- Per-Second Granularity
Unlike legacy tools that sample data every 10 to 60 seconds, this agent collects metrics every single second. This high-fidelity approach captures transient spikes and micro-outages that lower-resolution tools miss. The engine is written in C and typically uses less than 5% of a single CPU core to maintain this resolution.
- 800+ out-of-the-box collectors
- Zero data sampling methodology
- Low 150MB RAM footprint
- Instant dashboard updates
- High-resolution visualizations
- Network Observability
Visualize network topology and analyze live connections directly within the interface. It handles NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX traffic while monitoring SNMP devices to provide a unified infrastructure view. The agent maps connections between services without requiring scheduled discovery scans or manual intervention.
- Live network topology viewer
- NetFlow and sFlow analyzer
- SNMP device monitoring support
- Per-port bandwidth tracking
- Automatic node discovery
- Unified Logs and Metrics
Manage system logs and performance metrics in one interface to eliminate context switching. It integrates with systemd journal and Windows event logs, allowing you to filter and search through entries directly alongside performance charts. You can click a performance dip and see the exact logs generated at that second.
- Systemd journal integration
- Windows event log support
- Cross-metric log correlation
- Advanced log search and filtering
- Customizable log dashboards

About This App
What this app does and where it fits.
High-Fidelity Infrastructure Observability
Netdata is a modern monitoring and troubleshooting platform built under the GPLv3+ license. Unlike legacy monitoring tools that rely on polling data at infrequent intervals, it is an edge-native agent designed to collect metrics every single second. This resolution allows you to see exactly what happened during a performance spike or system failure, rather than relying on averaged-out data points that hide the true nature of an incident.
How It Works
The core of the system is the Agent, a highly optimized C-based daemon. It uses an auto-discovery engine that identifies over 800 types of services, applications, and hardware components instantly. Whether you are running NGINX, PostgreSQL, Docker containers, or Kubernetes clusters, the agent identifies the stack and begins populating dashboards immediately. Its distributed architecture means that data processing happens locally on the host, which is why it maintains high granularity with less than 5% CPU usage. This avoids the latency and cost overhead of centralized processing found in tools like Prometheus.
Troubleshooting with AI
One of the standout features is its approach to AIOps. Instead of a simple chatbot, it uses unsupervised machine learning to establish a baseline for every metric. When a metric deviates from its normal pattern, the Anomaly Advisor highlights the shift. During an outage, the platform can correlate these anomalies across hundreds of charts to show the blast radius of a problem and suggest the root cause. This guided troubleshooting transforms how on-call engineers respond to incidents, moving from reactive fire-fighting to evidence-based resolution.
Open Source Maturity
With over 76,000 GitHub stars, the project is one of the most mature monitoring tools in the ecosystem. It is designed to be open-source first, meaning advanced features like machine learning are part of the core agent, not locked behind enterprise paywalls. By self-hosting, you gain access to a tool used by organizations to maintain mission-critical uptime while ensuring that sensitive infrastructure data never leaves your private network. Compared to a Grafana stack, it provides a much lower barriers to entry for real-time visibility.

Pro Tips
Expert tips to help you get the most out of Netdata and achieve better results.
Disk Allocation
Allocate at least 3GB of disk space per agent to ensure you can store a year of history at high resolution.
Parent-Child Streaming
When monitoring multiple servers, stream their data to a central Parent node to reduce resource usage on edge devices.
Anomaly Advisor First
During an incident, check the Anomaly Advisor tab first; it correlates metrics to find the source faster than manual browsing.
Notification Integrity
Test your notification channels immediately after setup to ensure that critical alerts are delivered to your mobile device.
