Netdata delivers real-time, per-second monitoring for servers, containers, and applications with automatic detection of thousands of metrics out of the box. Its lightweight agent requires zero configuration to start collecting system, network, storage, and application metrics, making it one of the fastest ways to gain visibility into infrastructure health.
With built-in anomaly detection powered by machine learning, preconfigured alert templates, and beautiful real-time dashboards, Netdata helps teams identify and resolve performance issues before they impact users. It supports streaming metrics from distributed agents to a central parent node, making it suitable for monitoring entire fleets of servers from a single interface.

Netdata parent node spins up with tiered metric storage, ML anomaly detection, and alerting — typically under 3 minutes.
Install the one-line Netdata agent on your servers, containers, or Kubernetes nodes. Point them at your managed parent for centralized streaming.
Real-time dashboards with per-second granularity appear immediately. Tune alert thresholds and anomaly detection sensitivity for your workload.
You have 10-200 servers across cloud and on-prem and need per-second visibility with zero-config metric collection. Netdata auto-detects everything — CPU, memory, disks, network, containers, databases.
You need monitoring up and running in minutes, not days. Netdata's zero-config auto-detection and preconfigured alerts get you from install to dashboard in under five minutes.
You want ML-powered anomaly detection that learns your infrastructure's baseline and alerts on deviations automatically, without manually defining thresholds for thousands of metrics.
ManageStacks ensures your Netdata monitoring hub is always available and performant, with managed storage and backups so you never lose visibility into your infrastructure.
