Simplifying Virtual Machine Monitoring
Comtegra, a leader in IT solutions for storage and virtualization, faced a significant challenge in managing a dynamic environment of virtual machines (VMs). The frequent deployment and deletion of VMs, often within a single day, created a complex scenario that was both time-consuming and difficult to monitor. This challenge was particularly pronounced for Mariusz Mieszkowski, a storage specialist at Comtegra, who noted the inefficiency of performance testing and overall infrastructure management under these conditions.
The introduction of Netdata into Comtegra’s monitoring stack marked a turning point. Its easy-to-deploy agent significantly reduced the time and effort required to monitor these transient VMs. This feature alone has been pivotal in enabling Comtegra to maintain operational efficiency and deliver high-quality IT solutions.
“Easy to deploy agent help to save my time. As a storage specialist, I occasionally run some performance tests, and Netdata helps with monitoring and correlating data outputs.”

Transforming Infrastructure Management with Netdata
Integrating Netdata brought measurable improvements to Comtegra’s operations. Key features like the ease of deployment on new VMs, efficient alerting, and a comprehensive overview of monitored machines directly addressed their initial challenges.
- Time and Productivity Gains: Implementing Netdata resulted in a 40% reduction in time spent on monitoring tasks for Comtegra. This efficiency not only freed up resources for strategic initiatives but also improved the team’s productivity.
- Enhanced Troubleshooting: The troubleshooting process became about 50% easier with Netdata, thanks to its clear metric correlations. This efficiency in identifying and resolving issues has significantly decreased downtime.
- Real-time Alerts: The alerting system in Netdata proved invaluable, notifying the Comtegra team of critical issues, such as CPU utilization spikes during performance tests. Although these instances were not in a production environment, they highlighted Netdata’s capability to promptly detect potential problems.
“The implementation process was smooth, highlighting Netdata’s user-friendly nature. Its impact on our operations has been significant, offering time savings, productivity improvements, and enhanced troubleshooting capabilities,” reflects Mieszkowski.
“Try it, it’s really easy to deploy and will give you a really good overview of your infrastructure. And if needed, you can go deeper, and it will help you find problems that may be affecting performance.”
