+**netdata** is a system for **distributed real-time performance and health monitoring**.
+It provides **unparalleled insights, in real-time**, of everything happening on the
+system it runs (including applications such as web and database servers), using
+**modern interactive web dashboards**.
+_netdata is **fast** and **efficient**, designed to permanently run on all systems
+(**physical** & **virtual** servers, **containers**, **IoT** devices), without
+disrupting their core function._
-# netdata
+netdata runs on **Linux**, **FreeBSD**, and **MacOS**.

## Features
-**netdata** is a highly optimized Linux daemon providing **real-time performance monitoring for Linux systems, Applications, SNMP devices, over the web**!
-
-It tries to visualize the **truth of now**, in its **greatest detail**, so that you can get insights of what is happening now and what just happened, on your systems and applications.

+
+ - **Stunning interactive bootstrap dashboards**<br/>
+ mouse and touch friendly, in 2 themes: dark, light
+
+ - **Amazingly fast**<br/>
+ responds to all queries in less than 0.5 ms per metric,
+ even on low-end hardware
+
+ - **Highly efficient**<br/>
+ collects thousands of metrics per server per second,
+ with just 1% CPU utilization of a single core, a few MB of RAM and no disk I/O at all
+
+ - **Sophisticated alarming**<br/>
+ hundreds of alarms, **out of the box**!<br/>
+ supports dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, alarm templates,
+ multiple role-based notification methods (such as email, slack.com,
+ pushover.net, pushbullet.com, telegram.org, twilio.com, messagebird.com)
+
+ - **Extensible**<br/>
+ you can monitor anything you can get a metric for,
+ using its Plugin API (anything can be a netdata plugin,
+ BASH, python, perl, node.js, java, Go, ruby, etc)
+
+ - **Embeddable**<br/>
+ it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs (even IoT)
+ and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too
+
+ - **Customizable**<br/>
+ custom dashboards can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary)
+
+ - **Zero configuration**<br/>
+ auto-detects everything, it can collect up to 5000 metrics
+ per server out of the box
+
+ - **Zero dependencies**<br/>
+ it is even its own web server, for its static web files and its web API
+
+ - **Zero maintenance**<br/>
+ you just run it, it does the rest
+
+ - **scales to infinity**<br/>
+ requiring minimal central resources
+
+ - **several operating modes**<br/>
+ autonomous host monitoring, headless data collector, forwarding proxy, store and forward proxy, central multi-host monitoring, in all possible configurations.
+ Each node may have different metrics retention policy and run with or without health monitoring.
+
+ - **time-series back-ends supported**<br/>
+ can archive its metrics on `graphite`, `opentsdb`, `prometheus`, json document DBs, in the same or lower detail
+ (lower: to prevent it from congesting these servers due to the amount of data collected)
-This is what you get:
-
-- **Stunning bootstrap dashboards**, out of the box (themable: dark, light)
-- **Blazingly fast** and **super efficient**, mostly written in C (for default installations, expect just 2% of a single core CPU usage and a few MB of RAM)
-- **Zero configuration** - you just install it and it autodetects everything
-- **Zero dependencies**, it is its own web server for its static web files and its web API
-- **Zero maintenance**, you just run it, it does the rest
-- **Custom dashboards** that can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary)
-- **Extensible**, you can monitor anything you can get a metric for, using its Plugin API (anything can be a netdata plugin - from BASH to node.js, so you can easily monitor any application, any API)
-- **Embeddable**, it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too

## What does it monitor?
-This is what it currently monitors (most with zero configuration):
+netdata collects several thousands of metrics per device.
+All these metrics are collected and visualized in real-time.
+
+> _Almost all metrics are auto-detected, without any configuration._
