Netdata Agents update Netdata Cloud only about status changes on all the above (e.g., an alert being triggered, or a metric stopped being collected). So, there is an initial handshake and exchange of information when Netdata starts, and then there only updates when required. Of course, when you view Netdata Cloud dashboards that need to query the database a Netdata agent maintains, this query is forwarded to an agent that can satisfy it. This means that Netdata Cloud receives metric samples only when a user is accessing a dashboard and the samples transferred are usually aggregations to allow rendering the dashboards. |
