Netdata versus Datadog: root cause analysis with metric correlations

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.
