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.

- ohthehugemanate 6y agoIt'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.
- Abishek_Muthian 6y agoThanks, 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.
- cakrit 6y agoThis 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.
