Key capabilities
- Metrics: Collect supported host and service measurements.
- Dashboards: Inspect changes around an incident.
- Alerts: Evaluate health rules and route notifications.
Infrastructure monitoring and health alerting are the primary functions.
Use Netdata when operators need detailed host and service signals. Choose a few actionable alerts first, then adjust thresholds after observing normal workload patterns.
A trial should reproduce a resource problem and show which chart and alert lead an operator to the cause.
