Netdata is a real-time infrastructure monitoring and observability platform that collects per-second metrics from physical servers, virtual machines, cloud deployments, Kubernetes clusters, and IoT devices. It provides a REST API for querying metrics, alerts, and configuration on individual nodes (Agent API) as well as a Cloud API for programmatic access to Netdata Cloud resources including spaces, rooms, and nodes across distributed infrastructure. Authentication uses Bearer tokens generated from the Netdata Cloud account settings, with scopes controlling access to agent UI, Grafana plugin, MCP, and full API access. The platform includes AI-powered troubleshooting, role-based access control, and supports both cloud-hosted and on-premises deployments.
