Netdata

Netdata is an open-source-based observability company founded in 2016 and remote-first. Its terms list Netdata, Inc. with a San Francisco address. It focuses on real-time infrastructure monitoring with zero-configuration setup, and the site cites more than 80,000 GitHub stars and 690 contributors.

Agents on Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, macOS and Windows collect metrics, logs, OpenTelemetry traces, eBPF data and SNMP or NetFlow data, with unsupervised machine learning for anomaly detection and AI-assisted root-cause analysis. Data can stay on the customer's nodes, with Netdata Cloud SaaS or a Cloud On-Premises option for air-gapped sites.

• Zero-config monitoring: auto-discovery and prebuilt dashboards across 800+ collectors.
• Machine learning: unsupervised anomaly detection and root-cause assistance.
• Logs and tracing: log management and OpenTelemetry distributed tracing.
• Network monitoring: SNMP devices, NetFlow, sFlow and IPFIX analysis, topology viewer.
• Flexible deployment: agents, Parents for central storage, SaaS or on-premises cloud.
• AI assistant: MCP-based AI chat and AI reporting on infrastructure data.

A Vietnamese data center or hosting provider can monitor thousands of servers and switches with per-node pricing. A manufacturer can deploy the on-premises edition in an isolated plant network. An IT team can use anomaly detection to find hidden performance issues in Kubernetes clusters.

Zero-configuration agents and auto-discovery shorten setup. Business pricing is per node with no per-metric or per-GB ingest charges for metrics and logs. Metrics stay on the customer's nodes, and an on-premises edition supports air-gapped deployments. SOC 2 Type 2 is listed; case studies report 30% cloud cost reduction (Falkland Islands Government) and 46% cost reduction (Codyas).

Infrastructure teams want real-time visibility without heavy tuning, and per-GB observability pricing pushes interest toward per-node models. Data-sovereignty and air-gapped needs favor tools that keep metrics on local nodes. Vietnamese data centers, ISPs and manufacturers running mixed server and network estates fit this pattern.

Founded 2016; remote-first; Netdata, Inc. with a San Francisco address per its terms. Agent licensed under GPLv3+. SOC 2 Type 2. G2 High Performer and Regional Leader (Winter 2026). Events in 2025 and 2026 included Gartner IOCS (Nov 2025) and India DevOps Show (Feb 2026).
