Fleet Monitoring with Netdata: Live Demo

Oct 1, 2026

A walkthrough of monitoring a distributed fleet with Netdata, using a simulated fleet of about 1,000 devices spread across regions. We show how the whole fleet reports into a single view: per-second metrics from every node, grouping by region and by customer, a map view that colors each device by health, filtering and saved views for different teams, and an AI-assisted investigation that scans the fleet for anomalies and points to likely causes.

Netdata puts the monitoring at the edge. Every node collects and processes its own metrics at per-second granularity, parents aggregate at each site, and Netdata Cloud stitches it into one live view while your data stays inside your own infrastructure. That makes it a fit for constrained, intermittent, and air-gapped environments, from retail and IoT to robotics and EV charging.
