As with most commercial products, software today is mass produced for reasons of simple economics. But making the same software work for as many people as possible while also meeting the unique requirements different people and organizations have is a challenging task.

I’m excited to announce an extension to Netdata’s series A funding in the amount of $14.2M, bringing the total amount of funding to $31M.

In case you missed it, our mission is to redefine infrastructure monitoring. Our unique approach to building the right solution with and for the community is no easy task.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve been named to the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100 Rising Stars. This is a list of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. The 20 Rising Stars represent young, high-growth and category-leading cloud companies who are poised to join the Cloud 100 ranks.

The v1.25.0 release of the Netdata Agent delivers on our commitment to make our metrics collection, visualization, and troubleshooting platform more stable and usable. We enhanced our recently-added Prometheus collector with user-configurable filtering and grouping, made dramatic improvements to the reliability of the Agent-Cloud link that streams metrics on-demand to your browser when you use Netdata Cloud, and more. Let’s jump in and look at each improvement.

When an incident strikes, and every minute spent on root cause analysis delays the time to resolution, the real-world consequences can be dire. Troubleshooting an event requires a certain data set: every metric, at the greatest granularity, in one place, available in real time. Limits on the number or type of metrics, collection frequency, or time to visualization can mean the difference between timely resolution and unacceptable losses in time, money, and productivity.

Today, we are excited to launch our first Netdata Cloud Insights feature, Metric Correlations, developed for discovering underlying issues more quickly and identifying the root cause more efficiently. Read on to learn more about our approach to developing this new feature, how it works, and the many benefits you’ll find incorporating this into your team’s troubleshooting workflow.
