Netdata is zero-configuration monitoring. It’s a principle that we’ve stood behind since the project’s beginning, when it was only our CEO Costa trying to solve a “painful, real-world problem,” and it’s one we stand by today. Our insistence on zero-configuration guides every product decision we make, every grooming process, and every React component our frontend teams design.
On our journey to democratize monitoring, we are proud to have open source at the core of both our products and our company values.

Yesterday we were excited to announce Logz.io Distributed Tracing, the most recent addition to our Cloud-Native Observability Platform. This is such a special launch for us because it makes Logz.io the only place where engineers can use the best open source monitoring tools for logs, metrics, and traces – known as the ‘three pillars’ to observability – together in one place.

What if everything is subject to change, all the time?
