Release Summary
3 months have passed since the previous Netdata release. A lot has changed since then! Netdata now has a mobile app for alert notifications, new drag-and-drop custom dashboards, network connections monitoring, dynamic configuration for data collection jobs and alerts, and many more...
To see how Netdata stacks up against the most advanced commercial offerings available today, we did an analysis on how Dynatrace, Datadog, Instana, Grafana and Netdata commercial offerings compare.
It is nice to see that Netdata stands out for its:
-
Excellent technology coverage
Netdata's monitoring coverage is significantly higher compared to others, in all areas!
-
High-fidelity, real-time insights
Netdata is the only monitoring solution offering this kind of fidelity (per-second for all metrics), at this extend!
-
Real AI and Machine-Learning.
Netdata is the only monitoring system that offers real machine learning, running at the edge.
-
Lightweight
Netdata is among the lightest agents, despite the fact that it does a lot more than the others.
-
Best cost efficiency
Netdata's cost efficiency is unbeatable, making Netdata the most cost-efficient monitoring solution available today!
Release Highlights
Netdata Mobile App
You can now receive Netdata alerts directly on your mobile phone!
Choose your space and see all the available notifications since you last signed in!
Check the full demo here.
The Mobile App is available for Homelab and Business plan users.
Custom Dashboards
You can now create advanced custom dashboards with Netdata!
-
Drag-and-Drop
Easily move charts from Metrics or Single Node views straight to your dashboards. It's intuitive and fun.
-
New Chart Types
Discover your data in new ways with Bar, Circle, Gauge, Pie, Value, and Group boxes.
-
Quick Dashboard Creation
Hit the plus button, drag, and you've got a new dashboard. Simple as that.
-
Rename Charts
Customize your dashboard by renaming charts to whatever makes sense to you.
-
Refreshed Text Cards
We've upgraded text cards for better clarity and aesthetics.
On the Agent UI and the Community plan of Netdata Cloud 1 custom dashboard is allowed. The Homelab and Business plans of Netdata Cloud support an unlimited number of custom dashboards.
Network Viewer
Explore the network connections of your servers and processes!
Netdata got a 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).
The visualization graph has 4 sides:
public(i.e. public IPs),private(i.e. private and reserved IPs),servers(i.e. listening and inbound sockets),clients(i.e. sockets towards other servers).
The position of each application on the chart is determined by the classification of the sockets it has. To the top are clients, to the bottom are servers, to the right are internet facing applications, to the left is internal network applications.
The size of each application in the chart is determined by the number of sockets it has, and each application is a pie chart representing the percentage of each kind of sockets it has.
For servers with dozens of thousands of sockets, the tool provides an aggregated view, grouping similar sockets together and reporting the total. Users can switch to a detailed view from the UI.
User Settings
We've improved immensely the customization capabilities of Netdata with the introduction of User Settings.
Our first release on this front is focused 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
With this, you can define what is best for your team to visualise a given chart but still allow each teammate to define their own. Users will be presented with the view they should see, based on setting hierarchy, but they
can interchangeably select which of the select views they want.
More areas of customization will come soon, Filters saved views, Dashboards Table of Content (TOC) ordering, etc.
Dynamic Configuration (beta)
Netdata agents are now deployed with the ability to dynamically accept configuration from the UI, for data collection jobs and alerts. The feature is released in beta.
Alerts Configuration Manager
The Alerts Configuration Manager is transforming the way users configure and manage alerts in their Netdata environment. This powerful tool integrates directly into the Netdata Dashboard, offering a streamlined and intuitive interface for both novice and experienced users.
Check the full demo here
Alerts Silencing Rules
🔕Improvements done to make it easier to interact and see Alert Silencing Rules.
With this release, you will be able to:
- See silencing rules status directly on entities like Alerts, Rooms, and Nodes
- Immediately create a silencing rule for an Alert, a Room, or a Node
We hope this makes it easier for you to interact with the Alert Silencing Rule Manager.
Stay tuned for more improvements!
