Unsupervised ML

Consensus-based ML replaces noisy thresholds, cutting false positives by 99% with zero configuration.

Anomaly Advisor

18 consensus ML models per metric cut false positives by 99% in 15 minutes, with no configuration or tuning.

AI Co-Engineer

Edge-native ML with 18-model consensus cuts false positives by 99% and correlates metrics in under two seconds.

Anomaly Detection

See what broke, when, and why with ML-speed analysis and AI explanations, cutting resolution from 75 minutes to 5.

Root Cause Analysis

Netdata’s correlation engine shows failure propagation across systems in seconds, with no dependency maps.

AI Reporting

AI trained on 18 ML models per metric surfaces root causes per second, before competitors load dashboards.

Blast Radius Detection

Netdata’s AI reporting turns observability data into actionable summaries, forecasts, and root cause analysis.

AI Chat

MCP via Netdata Cloud (infrastructure-wide) and on every Agent/Parent (local) exposes real-time metrics, anomalies, logs, and system state to AI assistants.

Zero Configuration

Deploy full observability instantly. Netdata automatically discovers, visualizes, and monitors everything with no setup.

Distributed Pipeline

Traditional observability centralizes telemetry, creating bottlenecks. Netdata runs full observability on every node.

Real-Time at Scale

Real-time observability at any scale. Netdata keeps per-second data and sub-2-second latency from 10 to 100,000 nodes.

Algorithmic Dashboards

Algorithmic dashboards auto-generate for each metric and node, cutting months of setup while delivering insights.

Edge Computing

Netdata delivers per-second observability at the edge with low overhead and autonomous operation, even offline.

Infinite Scalability

Monitor 1 or 100,000 nodes with per-second data, sub-2-second latency, and predictable costs on Netdata.

Zero Downtime

Maintain visibility during deployments and outages. Netdata keeps monitoring running with zero data loss.

Tiered Retention

Netdata’s parallel-tiering updates all retention tiers during collection for efficient storage with zero maintenance.

Extreme Cardinality

Netdata’s edge intelligence captures every metric per second while isolating cardinality, preventing cost spikes.

AI Automation

Model Context Protocol

Connect any MCP-compatible AI to your observability data. Automate workflows, playbooks, and incident response with AI-powered infrastructure intelligence.
