Re:Netdata: Open-source real-time monitoring platform by Abishek_Muthian on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @10:08AM (#26889885)
Neat project but I'm also confused with 'distributed'; It sounds like designed for monitoring multiple systems in a single dashbaord OOB with 'zero-config', But on further digging it seems like the distributed monitoring works 'only' with their cloud service[1].

Further clarity on this would be appreciated.

It's OOTB configured to use their free cloud service, but with 2 lines of config you can run your own central collection point instead. That's what I do for my home install.

BUT the UI for this is just a dropdown for each of your monitored servers. I've found I actually want to export data to a more robust system so I can view patterns across machines, too.

Thanks, So monitoring multiple machines is possible in a central console although not in a single dashboard. Hopefully it will be available soon and the project seems useful as it is as I like the idea of getting the system information of all the Servers, SBCs in my network.

This is what we do with Netdata Cloud. We want to keep the FOSS agent as a powerful single node monitoring tool and use the cloud for free infrastructure monitoring. You can see ktsaou's comment above on how we intend to monetize.
