Netdata Integration
ilert integrates with Netdata to provide real-time actionable alerts, enabling fast response and resolution via multiple notification channels.
Netdata is a high-performance, open-source monitoring tool that provides real-time insights into system and application metrics. It allows users to track and visualize performance data across distributed systems with minimal resource overhead. Pairing Netdata with ilert's incident management platform enhances the monitoring experience by adding powerful alerting and incident response capabilities. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to connect Netdata with ilert.

Search for Netdata, click its tile, and click Next.
Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.
Choose who gets notified: select Use existing escalation policy and pick a policy, or Generate new escalation policy to start with a basic one that notifies you first. Click Next.
