Learn Netdata#
Overview
Learn about Netdata's core features, how it's different, and how it integrates with your existing monitoring stack.
Quickstart
Five-minute introductions into how you'll visualize metrics and troubleshoot issues using Netdata's tools based how many nodes you need to monitor.
Configure
Learn how to set up the Netdata Agent on one or more nodes to maximize the immediate value you get from monitoring your systems, containers, and applications.
Collect
Learn what per-second metrics Netdata can collect using its 300+ built-in collectors, full compatibility with Prometheus endpoints, and zero configuration.
Visualize
Follow our guides on interacting with Netdata's visualizations and creating new dashboards so you can quickly drill down on anomalies and discover their root cause.
Monitor
Leverage Netdata's health watchdog and hundreds of pre-configured alarms to receive notifications on your favorite platforms whenever an anomaly affects the health or performance of your infrastructure.
Store
Netdata's distributed data architecture simplifies how you store metrics and dramatically reduces the cost compared to centralizing per-second metrics in one place. Configure your nodes to store the metrics you need.
Export
Send Netdata's metrics to other time-series databases to extend and improve your monitoring stack with per-second metrics. Archive or correlate metrics using other platforms.
