Expanded Chart View: Investigate Without Leaving the Chart

Apr 8, 2026 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
Charts in Netdata have always been interactive. You can zoom, pan, select time ranges, and see per-second granularity across thousands of metrics. But when you spotted something interesting, the next steps usually meant leaving the chart: opening another tab to check a related metric, navigating to the correlation tool, or pulling up a different time range for comparison. The investigation workflow lived outside the chart, even though the chart was where the investigation started.

Conversations: Ask Netdata About Anything You're Looking At

Apr 2, 2026 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
Netdata AI can already troubleshoot your alerts and generate Insights reports. What it couldn’t do, until now, was have a back-and-forth conversation. You could get a one-shot analysis, but you couldn’t ask follow-up questions, pull in additional context, or go from a quick question to a full investigation without starting over. We’ve added a conversational layer to Netdata AI.

Node Groups: Organize Your Infrastructure Into Reusable Views

Apr 1, 2026 By Netdata Team In netdata
When you’re managing a handful of nodes, the flat list in the nodes tab works fine. When you’re managing hundreds or thousands, it becomes a wall of hostnames. You end up applying the same filters repeatedly: all the production database servers, all the nodes in eu-west, all the Kubernetes workers in the staging cluster. The filters work, but they don’t persist, and there’s no way to share them with the rest of your team. Node groups solve this.

Actionable Network Device Monitoring with Automated Anomaly Detection and AI Troubleshooting

Jan 26, 2026 By Netdata In netdata
Network device monitoring is often a mess of polling, graphs, and alerts that don't lead to answers. In this webinar, we'll show how to monitor routers, switches, and firewalls in a way that quickly surfaces what matters: interface health, errors, drops, saturation, latency signals, and performance regressions—without drowning in noise. You'll learn how Netdata turns raw SNMP metrics into high-signal insights using automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted troubleshooting, so your team can move from 'something is wrong' to 'here's the root cause' faster.

Text-to-Alert: Generating Netdata Alerts from Natural Language

Dec 18, 2025 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
Netdata has an incredibly powerful alerting engine. But this can sometimes be a double-edged sword: the flexibility to build incredibly specific, intelligent alerts is immense, but mastering its syntax can feel like learning a new language. We’ve heard this from so many of you. You tell us that configuring alerts is often the steepest part of the learning curve, a task that falls to the one “Netdata expert” on the team who has spent the time digging through the documentation.

Monitor Everything is an Anti-Pattern!

Dec 1, 2025 By Costa Tsaousis In netdata
Bullshit and nonsense. But let’s take it from the beginning. The industry’s story goes something like this: Then, in the same breath: You see the contradiction already, right? The same industry that tells you “collect less, simplify, trust the experts” is also the industry where: This isn’t an observability strategy. It’s observability by hindsight. Right. Good. Now we’re having fun.
