When NOT to use netdata
Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.
- When the team requires customization options that extend beyond what Netdata’s current integrations offer, such as less mainstream databases or alerting services.
- If your environment strictly adheres to commercial licensing models which are incompatible with GPL-3.0 licensed software like Netdata.
