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.
**KEY FEATURES**:<br/>
- :boom: **Collects metrics 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 metrics are collected per second and are on the dashboard immediately after data collection. Netdata is designed to be fast.
- :face_in_clouds: **Unsupervised Anomaly Detection**<br/>
Trains multiple Machine-Learning (ML) models for each metric collected and detects anomalies based on the past behavior of each metric individually.
- :fire: **Powerful Visualization**<br/>
Clear and precise visualization that allows you to quickly understand any dataset, but also to filter, slice and dice the data directly on the dashboard, without the need to learn any 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.
- 📖 **systemd Journal Logs Explorer** (beta, in the nightly release channel)<br/>
Provides a `systemd` journal logs explorer, to view, filter and analyze system and applications logs by directly accessing `systemd` journal files on individual hosts and infrastructure-wide logs centralization servers.
- :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.
---
NEW: **Netdata and LOGS !** 🥳</br>
Check the [systemd-journal plugin of Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/systemd-journal.plugin), that allows you to view, explore, analyze and query `systemd` journal logs!
The plugin is available from Oct 3, 2023 to nightly channel users.

### 1. **Install Netdata everywhere** :v:
Netdata can be installed on all Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD systems. We provide binary packages for the most popular operating systems and package managers.
- Install on [Ubuntu, Debian CentOS, Fedora, Suse, Red Hat, Arch, Alpine, Gentoo, even BusyBox](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/one-line-installer-for-all-linux-systems).
- Install with [Docker](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/docker).<br/>
Netdata is a [Verified Publisher on DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/netdata/netdata) and our users enjoy free unlimited DockerHub pulls :heart_eyes:.
- Install on [MacOS](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/macos) :metal:.
- Install on [FreeBSD](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/freebsd) and [pfSense](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/pfsense).
- Install [from source](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installing/build-the-netdata-agent-yourself/compile-from-source-code) ![github downloads](https://img.shields.io/github/downloads/netdata/netdata/total?color=success&logo=github)
- For Kubernetes deployments [check here](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/installation/install-on-specific-environments/kubernetes/).
Check also the [Netdata Deployment Strategies](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/architecture/deployment-strategies) to decide how to deploy it in your infrastructure.
By default, you will have immediately available a local dashboard. Netdata starts a web server for its dashboard at port `19999`. Open up your web browser of choice and
navigate to `http://NODE:19999`, replacing `NODE` with the IP address or hostname of your Agent. If installed on localhost, you can access it through `http://localhost:19999`.
### 2. **Configure Collectors** :boom:
Netdata auto-detects and auto-discovers most operating system data sources and applications. However, many data sources require some manual configuration, usually to allow Netdata to get access to the metrics.
- For a detailed list of the 800+ collectors available, check [this guide](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/data-collection/).
- To monitor Windows servers and applications use [this guide](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/data-collection/monitor-anything/system-metrics/windows-machines).
- To monitor SNMP devices check [this guide](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/data-collection/monitor-anything/networking/snmp).
### 3. **Configure Alert Notifications** :bell:
Netdata comes with hundreds of pre-configured alerts, that automatically check your metrics, immediately after they start getting collected.
Netdata can dispatch alert notifications to multiple third party systems, including: `email`, `Alerta`, `AWS SNS`, `Discord`, `Dynatrace`, `flock`, `gotify`, `IRC`, `Matrix`, `MessageBird`, `Microsoft Teams`, `ntfy`, `OPSgenie`, `PagerDuty`, `Prowl`, `PushBullet`, `PushOver`, `RocketChat`, `Slack`, `SMS tools`, `Syslog`, `Telegram`, `Twilio`.
By default, Netdata will send e-mail notifications, if there is a configured MTA on the system.
### 4. **Configure Netdata Parents** :family:
Optionally, configure one or more Netdata Parents. A Netdata Parent is a Netdata Agent that has been configured to accept [streaming connec
