Netdata
App in the BluixApps catalog
What it is
Netdata is real-time, per-second infrastructure monitoring — auto-discovers metrics from your system, applications, containers, and services without configuration. 1-second resolution, beautiful dashboards, ML-powered anomaly detection, all running on a single agent with minimal overhead.
For sysadmins who want immediate visibility into "what's happening right now" on their servers, Netdata is the fastest-to-value monitoring tool.
What it's for
- System monitoring — CPU, RAM, disk, network at 1-second resolution
- Container monitoring — Docker / Kubernetes auto-discovery
- Application monitoring — Nginx, Postgres, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB auto-monitored
- Anomaly detection — ML-based outlier detection on metrics
- Free fleet monitoring — Netdata Cloud aggregates multiple agents
Who it's for
- Sysadmins wanting instant per-server visibility
- DevOps engineers monitoring fleet of VPS / containers

Tips & operations
- Use Netdata Cloud for fleet — single-agent view is great; Cloud aggregates multiple
- Disable unused collectors — auto-discovery may pull metrics you don't need; trim for performance
- Configure ML carefully — anomaly detection needs baseline; tune sensitivity over time
- Alert routing — set up channels per team / severity
- Persistent local storage — Netdata stores TSDB locally; volume mount for retention
- Pair with Loki/Prometheus — Netdata for real-time, Prometheus for long-term retention
