Excellent tool for continuous graphical monitoring of the status of resources and services
What do you like best about the product?
Netdata allows in a clear and aesthetically (as well as graphically) very pleasing way to identify and monitor various aspects and values of hardware resources, service status, load percentages, usage, errors, and averages of operating systems (mainly Linux) and the services that revolve around them. In my company, it finds application in multiple fields: 24/7 monitoring for 365 days a year of business-critical client assets, monitoring of networking devices, bandwidth controls, and unified monitoring of multiple physical hosts (used for example for the virtualization of VMs). It is open source and allows for modification and adaptation according to one's needs and requirements. I love its simplicity and the fact that it uses well-documented configuration files rather than languages with mandatory and confusing indentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is little possibility, except through the additional fping module, to monitor additional Linux nodes or services from a netdata node. In many use cases, it would simply be enough to monitor the status of some ports and display it on the netdata graph of the main node, but unfortunately, this is not possible because the fping module does not allow port tests but only the ICMP protocol. It would be useful to integrate Zenmap.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Thanks to netdata, I was able to create, almost at no cost, for the support ops team of my company, a screen that was then placed on a high-resolution videowall for continuous monitoring of the company's IT and networking infrastructure. This includes customer services with strict SLAs that are continuously monitored, as well as security appliances, backup, disaster recovery, and administration that require proactive alerting in case of issues or values outside the recommended threshold.
Ad-hoc tool, perhaps the best, for proactive graphical monitoring of important assets
What do you like best about the product?
Netdata is simply perfect, I say simply because besides being installed with a simple command from the CLI, it is very lightweight, fast, and does not impact system resources at all despite the remarkable features it contains. Most importantly, it allows for the complete configuration of an active, proactive monitoring system with just a few clicks. Even more importantly, it is graphical and GUI-based for every system parameter with truly astonishing granularity and depth for a free and open-source tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
The support for third-party applications and monitoring systems (or monitoring APIs) is poor, and often the parsing of external JSON parameters and various indices is complicated or so costly to obtain that one is forced to use proprietary monitoring systems rather than integrate into netdata. In any case, it is not necessarily a negative point; it is simply not yet mature enough to perform this type of action.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create a dashboard active 24/7 with real-time updates and alerting for a security operation center and a corporate network operation center to keep, for a team of about 6 people, every single network parameter, CPU, load, RAM, and additional values under control, which, if abnormal, could suggest issues with cybersecurity or networking, an excellent graphical alternative to Zabbix as well as beautiful, indeed stunning, to see on a wall-mounted videowall.
Best monitoring tool ever for dashboards and proactive monitoring of nodes and hosts
What do you like best about the product?
Netdata convinced me from the first use as it presents itself with an easy-to-use and configurable graphical interface, fully responsive with a minimal and material design. The vast amount of data it can read on the host system once installed is immense, allowing for both basic superficial monitoring (e.g., CPU %, RAM %, downstream and upstream bandwidth) and granular monitoring of parameters inherent in the operating system in use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like everything about netdata, a graphical customization menu for the web GUI would help many companies and industry specialists create personalized views and dashboards instead of the usual grey-themed dashboards that do not adapt well to large arrays of videowalls in dedicated monitoring rooms due to the dark color.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proactively monitor through a team that works 24/7 to view such data in real-time, the health status and activity status of certain hosts and their running services considered business critical for our operations and those of our clients. I never expected that such a lightweight and free tool could solve such a large and widespread problem, it amazed me!
Excellent for monitoring business-critical applications and services on video walls
What do you like best about the product?
We have used and continue to use netdata for all our virtual machines containing business and business-critical client services that need to be proactively monitored 24/7 for 365 days. I like netdata for its extensibility and the fact that it is completely free and without limitations, as well as being easily installable and really lightweight to install even on machines that already have intensive CPU usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like everything about netdata, it would just need to improve the multi-user mode and alerting via SMTP to the interested users included in a group in case of reaching alarming thresholds on a graph. Additionally, I have already proposed on GitHub as a solution a blink or an auto-focus of the parameters that go above a certain threshold to draw the operator's attention to the concerned value without them having to continuously scroll and search for everything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proactively monitor and give access to a team of operators on rotation through a dashboard to all business-critical services that, in case of shutdown, crash, or various issues, could lead to legal or contractual problems due to the SLA agreed upon between our company and the client companies.
Excellent tool for monitoring active services on Linux hosts
What do you like best about the product?
Netdata is the ultimate free and open-source tool for monitoring Linux systems of all kinds, their hardware specifications, and almost all the services running on them. It allows multiple users (multi-user mode) the ability to create fully customized dashboards and views, enabling the division of monitoring by areas, teams, or applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The APIs are a bit outdated and poorly documented in the official documentation, however, in my scenario they are of little use as access to the monitoring dashboard is sufficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed to check the status of nginx and its load percentages through a GUI, which is not provided in the community version of nginx. Netdata turned out to be the ideal tool for this problem.
super tool for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
netdata allows you to monitor all the resources of a server. allows to activate alarms. very simple to use and install
What do you dislike about the product?
netdata does not seem very suitable for monitoring a server cluster, but they are one server at a time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we utilize netdata for monitoring all the resources of our servers. we create and activate alarms based on cpu, hard disk, memory etcetera.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
you cannot monitoring multiple servers
monitoring for servers, which are virtual machines or bare metal
What do you like best about the product?
netdata is very simple to install, especially as a container. netdata is just as simple to use, in fact it will be enough to say its url in the browser. it allows you to monitor all the vital parameters of a server and set alarms on them.
What do you dislike about the product?
of netdata I do not like the fact that it is not possible to monitor many servers that make up a cluster, for example, from a single interface. would have been useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
with netdata we monitor the most important servers of our architecture, set alarms on the vital parameters of the machine so we are sighted if the use of resources for example is beyond normal operation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
netdata software is not implemented for monitoring multiple server cluster.
Great optimization tool for server
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and provide all data stats in graph's corresponding to what i see the result in graph. Its also track the status or data from the last few hours activities of server. We can also see/track live/realtime performance of the system memory like Ram and storage of system. Very good tool i recommend to all of you use this tool to monitor your server.
What do you dislike about the product?
It works for a single server system at a time not to track all the system of server at once and it is little bit unsecure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Awesome tool monitor the system server performance like Ram or storage of single system at a time.
Great and simple server monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
It provides beautiful graphs of everything that in our server, get the system overview of everything. Really like the UI, easy to use, not require a lot of setup, the interface is modern. You can see real time system CPU/memory update.
What do you dislike about the product?
Little bit unsecure. It's good for tracking stats of the last few hours only, but not so good for analyze data. Also, it works for a single server, but you can not compare date of multiply server, I think it is also an important feature!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can monitor my server very easy, as a data collector, it is cool. It stores collected stats, convenient for me for sending alert, get almost everything you can imagine that a Linux system exposes.
