Claiming is a security feature that proves you have administrative privileges to a given node, ensuring only you or your team can monitor your infrastructure using Netdata Cloud. To claim a node, you need a claiming script, and a node running the Netdata Agent.

Live webinar with Ryan Duffield, VP of Product, Netdata

We've tried really hard to make Netdata's open-source monitoring and troubleshooting Agent as simple and hassle-free as possible. This includes installation, which involves a single command, a few minutes of your time, and zero configuration. Once you've installed Netdata, you'll have access to thousands of metrics on hundreds of interactive charts that update every second, with zero configuration required. It'll even auto-detect your favorite services, like an Nginx web server or MySQL database, and collect metrics from those.

In this video, we’ll take a look at the Netdata's real-time dashboard, which has hundreds of charts, designed by both our team and the community. We’ll cover the elements related to the dashboard, such as contexts, dimensions, menus, and even raised alarms. By default, Netdata listens at port 19999. So, to get to the dashboard, open a web browser and enter your SERVER-IP ADDRESS plus port number or localhost plus port number.
