# Netdata > Netdata is a distributed, real-time observability platform for metrics, logs and traces. Netdata Agents collect, store and analyze data where it is generated — per second, with machine learning anomaly detection on every metric — and Netdata Parents and Netdata Cloud combine them into one view, without centralizing the data. This index lists the Netdata documentation on learn.netdata.cloud in sidebar order.
