This is the documentation for the Netdata Cloud web application, which works in parallel with the open-source Netdata
monitoring agent to help you monitor your entire infrastructure [for free <RiExternalLinkLine className="inline-block"
/>](https://netdata.cloud/pricing/) in real time and troubleshoot problems that threaten the health of your
nodes before they occur.

Netdata Cloud requires the open-source [Netdata](/docs/) monitoring agent, which is the basis for the metrics,
visualizations, and alarms that you'll find in Netdata Cloud. Every time you view a node in Netdata Cloud, its metrics
and metadata are streamed to Netdata Cloud, then proxied to your browser, with an infrastructure that ensures [data
privacy <RiExternalLinkLine className="inline-block" />](https://netdata.cloud/privacy/).


Read [_What is Netdata?_](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/overview/what-is-netdata.md) for details about how Netdata and Netdata Cloud work together
and how they're different from other monitoring solutions, or the
[FAQ <RiExternalLinkLine className="inline-block" />](https://community.netdata.cloud/tags/c/general/29/faq) for answers to common questions.
