Questions

Netdata in brief.

What is Netdata?

Netdata is a complete observability platform with per-second metrics, logs and traces, anomaly detection on every metric, and an AI SRE that shows you the root cause. It runs on your own servers, and your data never leaves your infrastructure.

What does Netdata monitor?

Servers, virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes; applications through OpenTelemetry traces; databases; networks through SNMP, NetFlow and topology; and digital experience through Real User Monitoring and browser synthetic checks. More than 800 integrations are discovered automatically.

Is Netdata open source?

Yes. The Netdata Agent is open source, with its core licensed under GPL v3 or later. You can read the code that runs on your servers, and change it if you need to.

Where is my monitoring data stored?

On your own infrastructure. All metrics and logs remain on your servers, whether you use Netdata Cloud or run everything yourself.

How does Netdata use AI?

Netdata scores every metric for anomalies every second, with models trained on each node. When something breaks, Anomaly Advisor ranks what changed and Netdata AI follows it to the cause. The MCP Server brings the same per-second data to the AI agents you already use.

Does Netdata work with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus?

Yes. Netdata takes in OpenTelemetry and Prometheus data alongside its own collectors, so there is nothing to rip and replace.

How is Netdata priced?

Netdata Cloud is priced per node, with volume discounts. See pricing for the current plans.

Try Netdata on your own infrastructure.
