Netdata collects metrics per second and presents them in beautiful low-latency dashboards. It is designed to run on all of your physical and virtual servers, cloud deployments, Kubernetes clusters, and edge/IoT devices, to monitor your systems, containers, and applications.
It scales nicely from just a single server to thousands of servers, even in complex multi/mixed/hybrid cloud environments, and given enough disk space it can keep your metrics for years.
**WHAT CAN BE MONITORED WITH NETDATA**:<br/>
Netdata monitors all the following:

When Netdata runs on Linux, it monitors every kernel feature available, providing full coverage of all kernel technologies that can be monitored.
Netdata provides full **enterprise hardware** coverage, monitoring all components that provide hardware error reporting, like PCI AER, RAM EDAC, IPMI, S.M.A.R.T., NVMe, Fans, Power, Voltages, and more.
<small> * Netdata runs on Linux, FreeBSD and macOS. For Windows, we rely on Windows Exporter (so a Netdata running on Linux, FreeBSD or macOS is required, next to the monitored Windows servers).</small>
**KEY CHARACTERISTICS**:<br/>
- :boom: **Collects data from 800+ integrations**<br/>
Operating system metrics, container metrics, virtual machines, hardware sensors, applications metrics, OpenMetrics exporters, StatsD, and logs.
- :muscle: **Real-Time, Low-Latency, High-Resolution**<br/>
All data are collected per second and are on the dashboard immediately after data collection.
- :face_in_clouds: **Unsupervised Anomaly Detection**<br/>
Trains multiple Machine-Learning (ML) models for each metric and uses AI to detect anomalies based on the past behavior of each metric.
- :fire: **Powerful Visualization**<br/>
Fully automated dashboard providing corellated visualization of all metrics, allowing you to understand any dataset at first sight, but also to filter, slice and dice the data directly on the dashboards, without the need to learn a query language.
- :bell: **Out of box Alerts**<br/>
Comes with hundreds of alerts out of the box to detect common issues and pitfalls, revealing issues that can easily go unnoticed. It supports several notification methods to let you know when your attention is needed.
- :sunglasses: **Low Maintenance**<br/>
Fully automated in every aspect: automated dashboards, out-of-the-box alerts, auto-detection and auto-discovery of metrics, zero-touch machine-learning, easy scalability and high availability, and CI/CD friendly.
- :star: **Open and Extensible**<br/>
Netdata is a modular platform that can be extended in all possible ways, and it also integrates nicely with other monitoring solutions.

### :boom: NEW: Network Connections Explorer :boom:
Network Connections viewer is currently in the nightly builds of Netdata!
![network-connections](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/assets/2662304/5f71c102-9146-463e-acba-329094b136a5)
This tool visualizes all the sockets each server has (IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP). It can classify them as `inbound`, `outbound`, `listen` and `local` and allow filtering on them.
The visualization has 4 sides:
- `public` (ie. public IPs),
- `private` (i.e. private and reserved IPs),
- `servers` (i.e. listening and inbound sockets),
- `clients` (i.e. sockets towards other servers).
The position of each application on the chart is determined by the classification of the sockets it has. To the top are clients, to the bottom are servers, to the right are internet facing applications, to the left is internal network applications.
The size of each application in the chart is determined by the number of sockets it has, and each application is a pie chart representing the percentage of each kind of sockets it has.

Dec 11, 2023: [University of Amsterdam published a study](https://twitter.com/IMalavolta/status/1734208439096676680) related to the impact of monitoring tools for Docker based systems, aiming to answer 2 questions:
1. **What is the impact of monitoring tools on the energy efficiency of Docker-based systems?**
2. **What is the impact of monitoring tools on the performance of Docker-based systems?**
- 🚀 Netdata excels in energy efficiency: **"... Netdata being the most energy-efficient tool ..."**, as the study says.
- 🚀 Netdata excels in CPU Usage, RAM Usage and Execution Time, and has a similar impact in Network Traffic as Prometheus.
The study did not normalize the results based on the number of metrics collected. Given that Netdata usually collects significantly more metrics than the other tools, Netdata managed to outperform the other tools, while ingesting a much higher number of metrics. [Read the full study here](https://www.ivanomalavolta.com/files/papers/ICSOC_2023.pdf).
