Release HIGHLIGHTS:

Netdata now has a mobile app for alert notifications, new custom dashboards, network connections monitoring, dynamic configuration for data collection jobs and alerts, and many more!

After those changes we wanted to evaluate how Netdata stands against the most advanced commercial offerings available today, so we did an analysis on how Dynatrace, Datadog, Instana, Grafana and Netdata compare.

  • Mobile App for Alert Notifications
  • With the Netdata Mobile Notifications App, you can now receive and manage alerts and reachability notifications directly from your mobile phone. Choose your space and see all the available notifications since you last signed in!
  • Homelab Plan
  • For non-professional use, get the whole and the latest of Netdata! For the cost of a beer per month, you can get access to all Business features of Netdata, for your home lab or personal project!
  • Custom Dashboards
  • You can now create advanced custom dashboards with Netdata!
  • Drag and Drop, Quick Dashboard Creation, Refreshed Text Cards, Rename Charts and New Chart Types
  • Network Viewer
  • Select network-connections from the Top tab inside the dashboard!
  • The tool reports all IPv4 and IPv6, TCP and UDP sockets a system and all its processes have. Also, it automatically and reliably classifies them as inbound, outbound, local (i.e. within the host itself), or listen (for daemons).
  • User Settings
  • We've improved immensely the customization capabilities of Netdata with the introduction of User Settings. We are focusing on the customization of charts, either on the Metrics tab or the Single Node view tab. You can now create for any chart: Personal views, Room specific views & Space dedicated views
  • Dynamic Configuration (BETA)
  • Netdata agents are now deployed with the ability to dynamically accept configuration from the UI, for data collection jobs and alerts. In this area, we have a production-ready feature that is the Alerts Configuration Manager.
  • Alerts Silencing Rules
  • Improvements have been done to make it easier to interact and see Alert Silencing Rules.
  • MacOS Processes Monitoring
  • Netdata's apps.plugin has been ported to macOS, allowing users to view processes information on Linux, FreeBSD and macOS!
