Netdata is designed to be both simple to use and flexible for every monitoring, visualization, and troubleshooting use
case:
-- **Collect**: Netdata collects all available metrics from your system and applications with 300+ collectors,
- Kubernetes service discovery, and in-depth container monitoring, all while using only 1% CPU and a few MB of RAM. It
- even collects metrics from Windows machines.
-- **Visualize**: The dashboard meaningfully presents charts to help you understand the relationships between your
- hardware, operating system, running apps/services, and the rest of your infrastructure. Add nodes to Netdata Cloud
- for a complete view of your infrastructure from a single pane of glass.
-- **Monitor**: Netdata's health watchdog uses hundreds of preconfigured alarms to notify you via Slack, email,
- PagerDuty and more when an anomaly strikes. Customize with dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, alarm templates, and
- role-based notifications.
-- **Troubleshoot**: 1s granularity helps you detect and analyze anomalies other monitoring platforms might have
- missed. Interactive visualizations reduce your reliance on the console, and historical metrics help you trace issues
- back to their root cause.
-- **Store**: Netdata's efficient database engine efficiently stores per-second metrics for days, weeks, or even
- months. Every distributed node stores metrics locally, simplifying deployment, slashing costs, and enriching
- Netdata's interactive dashboards.
-- **Export**: Integrate per-second metrics with other time-series databases like Graphite, Prometheus, InfluxDB,
- TimescaleDB, and more with Netdata's interoperable and extensible core.
-- **Stream**: Aggregate metrics from any number of distributed nodes in one place for in-depth analysis, including
- ephemeral nodes in a Kubernetes cluster.
