Sheltie vs Netdata

Netdata collects thousands of metrics per second with deep, expert-grade dashboards and anomaly detection.

Netdata is great at

  • Per-second metrics for almost everything
  • Deep diagnostics for experts
  • Hundreds of integrations

Sheltie adds

  • A calm, answer-first view instead of a chart wall
  • Website checks and Docker crash events in one place
  • Auto-heal and fix-it buttons
  • A much smaller resource footprint

Choose Netdata if…

You need to diagnose why something is slow at a fine-grained level.

Choose Sheltie if…

You need to know quickly that something broke and fix it, without reading charts.

Or run both

Use Sheltie for “is it broken?” and Netdata for “why is it slow?”. Sheltie also exposes Prometheus metrics.

The live demo runs the real Sheltie dashboard with a simulated homelab: a power cut last night, a healed container and a site that is down right now.
