Description of Netdata

Netdata is distributed, real-time, performance and health monitoring for systems and applications. It is a highly optimized monitoring agent you install on all your systems and containers. Netdata provides unparalleled insights, in real-time, of everything happening on the systems it runs (including web servers, databases, applications), using highly interactive web dashboards. It can run autonomously, without any third-party components, or it can be integrated to existing monitoring toolchains (Prometheus, Graphite, OpenTSDB, Kafka, Grafana, etc). Netdata is fast and efficient, designed to permanently run on all systems (physical & virtual servers, containers, IoT devices), without disrupting their core function. Netdata is free, open-source software and it currently runs on a wide variety of operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and more.

Great for monitoring your server, great response times

The application itself works really well - if it's working that means I'm getting data to analyze from my servers pretty efficiently (although sometimes when sending information back to nagios there are small delays/lag). So far nothing terrible but not something amazing either which isn't horrible at this point in time since its still new in terms of maturity so maybe some problems will be solved as they work out their kinks with product development? Nothing really so don't get too worried…

Pros
  • All kinds fo services run together under ONE umbrella here unlike previous versions
Cons
  • Zero

Netdata - Excellent visualization software

Monitoring of our containerized applications from multiple locations. We also are able to see which users are accessing what resources at what time, this helps with security concerns. The dashboard could use some improvement in design. I wish it was easier to filter out specific projects and applications. I wish there were more metrics available for monitoring. I would like to be able to see more information about application use, but that's not possible with Netdata. Netdata has helped us…

Pros
  • Ease of setup
  • Comprehensive data gathering (including custom variables)
  • Multiple visualizations/dashboards included within UI.
  • Abilityto query historical records across different servers simultaneously via PromQL queries
  • Flexibility when setting up alerts & thresholds along woth defining alert conditions

Very useful daemonset for containers

The ease of setup - just drop in our docker container with netdaemon installed (which makes it easy to use without any prerequisites or complex configuration). Also we like that they're constantly adding new features which helps us stay up to date as well! I can't think of anything specific about this tool right now but if there's something i should mention here let me know :) We are using some internal tools developed by ourselves so having an open source alternative was very helpful since…

Pros
  • Easy way for end users get notified when certain events have occurred, also providing detailed statistics including graphs/charts is super nice once you understand how everything works
