Traditional monitoring tools may not provide the granularity or real-time feedback necessary for containerized environments. Netdata, with its poIrful real-time monitoring capabilities and RESTful API, offers a robust solution for collecting and accessing performance metrics. By leveraging the Netdata REST API, I can fetch detailed metrics about CPU usage, memory consumption, network traffic, disk I/O, and running processes within each container. -Our goal is to create an interactive dashboard that not only displays these metrics in real-time but also provides users with the ability to interact with the data, such as filtering processes or adjusting timeframes. To achieve this, I build a backend server that interfaces with the Netdata API, processes the data, and serves it to the frontend where it's rendered using Chart.js and other Ib technologies. +Our goal is to create an interactive dashboard that not only displays these metrics in real-time but also provides users with the ability to interact with the data, such as filtering processes or adjusting timeframes.
