The Hidden Costs of Monitoring

When it comes to monitoring IT infrastructure, the costs you see on the price tag of the tool are often just the tip of the iceberg. Below the waterline, a mass of hidden costs can lurk, which can significantly affect the total cost of ownership. In this blogpost we will cover the analysis of two traditional monitoring domains, Open Source observability and Commercial Centralized observability solutions, focusing the direct and indirect impacts when implementing these solution.

Netdata & Ansible example: ML demo room

We are always trying to lower the barrier to entry when it comes to monitoring and observability and one place we have consistently witnessed some pain from users is around adopting and approaching configuration management tools and practices as your infrastructure grows and becomes more complex. To that end, we have begun recently publishing our own little example ansible project used to maintain and manage the servers used in our public Machine Learning Demo room.

Netdata Parents (Streaming and Replication)

A “Parent” is a Netdata Agent, like the ones we install on all our systems, but is configured as a central node that receives, stores and processes metrics data from other Netdata “Child” nodes in our infrastructure. Netdata Parents are flexible. You can have one big active-active cluster of Netdata Parents, or you can spread a lot of independent Parents across the infrastructure. This “distributed still centralized” setup provides a lot of benefits.

Revolutionizing Operations Centers with Netdata's Real-time Monitoring Solution

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, 24-hour operations centers play a crucial role in managing and monitoring large-scale infrastructures. These centers must be equipped with an effective monitoring solution that addresses their unique needs, enabling them to respond quickly to incidents and maintain optimal system performance. Netdata, a comprehensive monitoring solution, has been designed to meet these critical requirements with its advanced capabilities and recent enhancements.

The Future of Infrastructure Monitoring: Scalability, Automation, and AI

In this blog post, we will explore the importance of scalability, automation, and AI in the evolving landscape of infrastructure monitoring. We will examine how Netdata's innovative solution aligns with these emerging trends, and how it can empower organizations to effectively manage their modern IT infrastructure.

Monitoring Multi-Cloud and Hybrid-Cloud Infrastructures: Challenges and Best Practices

The advent of multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud architectures has created new opportunities for organizations to leverage best-in-class features from various cloud service providers. However, these complex environments present their own unique challenges, especially when it comes to monitoring and managing performance.
