New to netdata? Here is a live demo: http://my-netdata.io

netdata is a system for distributed real-time performance and health monitoring. It provides unparalleled insights, in real-time, of everything happening on the system it runs (including applications such as web and database servers), using modern interactive web dashboards.

netdata is fast and efficient, designed to permanently run on all systems (physical & virtual servers, containers, IoT devices), without disrupting their core function.

netdata runs on Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOS.

Since May 16th 2016 (the date the global public netdata registry was released):

in the last 24 hours:

Netdata is featured at GitHub's State Of The Octoverse 2016

Jan 22nd, 2017 - netdata v1.5.0 released!

• netdata now runs on FreeBSD and MacOS
• netdata now supports Graphite, OpenTSDB, Prometheus and compatible backends
• netdata now monitors systemd Services
• new plugins: fping, postgres, varnish, elasticsearch, haproxy, freeradius, mdstat, ISC dhcpd, fail2ban, openvpn, NUMA memory, CPU Idle States, gunicorn, ECC memory errors, IPC semaphores, uptime
• improved plugins: netfilter conntrack, mysql/mariadb, ipfs, cpufreq, hddtemp, sensors, nginx, nginx_log, phpfpm, redis, dovecot, containers and cgroups, disk space, apps.plugin, tc (QoS) and almost all internal plugins (memory, IPv4 and IPv6, network interfaces, QoS, etc)
• dozens of new and improved alarms (including performance monitoring alarms for mysql)
• new alarm notifications: messagebird.com, pagerduty.com, pushbullet.com, twilio.com, hipchat, kafka
• dozens more improvements and performance optimizations

• Stunning interactive bootstrap dashboards
  mouse and touch friendly, in 2 themes: dark, light

• Amazingly fast
  responds to all queries in less than 0.5 ms per metric, even on low-end hardware

• Highly efficient
  collects thousands of metrics per server per second, with just 1% CPU utilization of a single core, a few MB of RAM and no disk I/O at all

• Sophisticated alarming
  hundreds of alarms, out of the box!
  supports dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, alarm templates, multiple role-based notification methods (such as email, slack.com, pushover.net, pushbullet.com, telegram.org, twilio.com, messagebird.com)

• Extensible
  you can monitor anything you can get a metric for, using its Plugin API (anything can be a netdata plugin, BASH, python, perl, node.js, java, Go, ruby, etc)

• Embeddable
  it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs (even IoT) and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too

• Customizable
  custom dashboards can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary)

• Zero configuration
  auto-detects everything, it can collect up to 5000 metrics per server out of the box

• Zero dependencies
  it is even its own web server, for its static web files and its web API

• Zero maintenance
  you just run it, it does the rest

• scales to infinity
  requiring minimal central resources

• several operating modes
  autonomous host monitoring, headless data collector, forwarding proxy, store and forward proxy, central multi-host monitoring, in all possible configurations. Each node may have different metrics retention policy and run with or without health monitoring.

• time-series back-ends supported
  can archive its metrics on graphite, opentsdb, prometheus, json document DBs, in the same or lower detail (lower: to prevent it from congesting these servers due to the amount of data collected)

netdata collects several thousands of metrics per device. All these metrics are collected and visualized in real-time.

Almost all metrics are auto-detected, without any configuration.

This is a list of what it currently monitors:

• CPU
  usage, interrupts, softirqs, frequency, total and per core, CPU states

• Memory
  RAM, swap and kernel memory usage, KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging), NUMA

• Disks
  per disk: I/O, operations, backlog, utilization, space, software RAID (md)

  

• Network interfaces
  per interface: bandwidth, packets, errors, drops

  

• IPv4 networking
  bandwidth, packets, errors, fragments, tcp: connections, packets, errors, handshake, udp: packets, errors, broadcast: bandwidth, packets, multicast: bandwidth, packets

• IPv6 networking
  bandwidth, packets, errors, fragments, ECT, udp: packets, errors, udplite: packets, errors, broadcast: bandwidth, multicast: bandwidth, packets, icmp: messages, errors, echos, router, neighbor, MLDv2, group membership, break down by type

• Interprocess Communication - IPC
  such as semaphores and semaphores arrays

• netfilter / iptables Linux firewall
  connections, connection tracker events, errors

• Linux DDoS protection
  SYNPROXY metrics

• fping latencies
  for any number of hosts, showing latency, packets and packet loss

  

• Processes
  running, blocked, forks, active

• Entropy
  random numbers pool, using in cryptography

• NFS file servers and clients
  NFS v2, v3, v4: I/O, cache, read ahead, RPC calls

• Network QoS
  the only tool that visualizes network tc classes in realtime

  

• Linux Control Groups
  containers: systemd, lxc, docker

• Applications
  by grouping the process tree and reporting CPU, memory, disk reads, disk writes, swap, threads, pipes, sockets - per group

  

• Users and User Groups resource usage
  by summarizing the process tree per user and group, reporting: CPU, memory, disk reads, disk writes, swap, threads, pipes, sockets

• Apache and lighttpd web servers

• SNMP devices
  can be monitored too (although you will need to configure these)

And you can extend it, by writing plugins that collect data from any source, using any computer language.

Use our automatic installer to build and install it on your system.

It should run on any Linux system (including IoT). It has been tested on:
