+**Netdata** is a daemon that collects system information from a linux system and presents a web site to view the data.
The presentation is full of charts that precisely render all system values, in realtime, for a short time (1 hour by default).
You can use it to monitor all your servers, linux PCs or linux embedded devices, without the need to ssh to them.
-Also, you can view a short history of all collected values.
+Also, you can view a short history of all collected values, so if something happens you can use **netdata** to find out what and when.
Check it live at:
Once you run it, the file conf.d/netdata.conf will be created. You can edit this file to set options for each graph.
To apply the changes you made, you have to run netdata.start again.
+If you run `netdata.start` as `root`, netdata will start by default as `nobody`. Otherwise it will run as the user that started it. If you run it as `root`, you can set the user you want it to run in the config file `conf.d/netdata.conf`.

To access the web site for all graphs, go to:
```
http://127.0.0.1:19999/
```
+You can get the running config file at any time, by accessing `http://127.0.0.1:19999/netdata.conf`.
