📄 Description

Netdata dashboard is now closed-source, proprietary software, and there is no alternative tool to exploit data returned by the netdata agent.
The Netdata dashboard now imposes an arbitrary limit to the number of monitored nodes unless on a paid, monthly subscription plan.
Upgrading from Netdata's previous, Free and Open-source releases silently leads to installing proprietary (since v1.41) and artifically limited (since v2.2) software.
The new limitations and license were not mentioned in the release notes
Netdata has been removed from Debian repositories.
Free and Open-Source versions of Netdata, and versions without this limitation, have been removed from Netdata's APT repositories
Netdata has repeatedly added dependencies or interactions with third-party cloud services in the dashboard (telemetry, features required a Netdata cloud subscription, ...) and misrepresenting itself as Free and Open-source software
