Coming soonPricing Model
| Capability | Traditional Monitors | NodX |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Model | Variable usage-based pricing calculated per-seat or per-GB of ingested log data. | Flat per-rack tier logic ($5/mo Starter, $12/mo Pro) preventing scale penalties. |
| Telemetry Footprint | Heavy agent execution footprint that impacts host performance under high load. | Ultra-lightweight lite agent utilizing isolated telemetry loops to protect compute fluidity. |
| Deployment Flexibility | Standard cloud-only SaaS. | Standard SaaS, On-Premise air-gapped options, and decoupled Lite configurations. |
| Alert Lifecycle | Custom rules engines requiring manual threshold tuning. | Full lifecycle: incident.fire → incident.resolve with HMAC-signed webhooks, retry/backoff, preset integrations (Slack/Teams/Discord/PagerDuty). |
| Retention & Export | Limited by storage costs; often truncated or sampled. | Configurable 30-day/1yr/2yr rollups; full raw + summarized exports; webhook hook (Slack/Teams/Discord/PagerDuty). |
Capacity Focus
| Capability | Traditional Monitors | NodX |
|---|---|---|
| Telemetry Type | Generic CPU/RAM infrastructure counters. | Physical infrastructure truth. Per-device p95 actual draw vs stranded power math. |
| Time-to-Value | Weeks of dashboard building and alert-rule tuning. | Under 1 minute. Out-of-the-box U-slot heatmaps and 3σ anomaly baselines. |
