There are tons of monitoring tools that are used for keeping an eye on systems performance and sending notifications in case something goes wrong. However, the installation and configuration steps involved are often tedious.

Netdata is an open-source real-time monitoring & troubleshooting tool that only requires a few steps to get installed. The Git repository comes with an automated script that handles the bulk of the installation and configuration process and takes away the cumbersome configuration associated with other monitoring tools.

Netdata has become hugely popular since its initial release in October 2013. It collects real-time metrics such as CPU and RAM usage, bandwidth statistics, and disk utilization and displays them on easy-to-interpret charts/graphs.

It has made huge leaps and bounds and this has earned it a place in Forbes 2020 Cloud 100 rising stars. This list constitutes the top 100 private cloud companies.

In this article, we will see how you can install Netdata on CentOS 8/7 to monitor real-time, performance, and health monitoring of servers and applications.
