- - **Stunning interactive bootstrap dashboards**<br/>2 themes are provided: dark, light
- - **Blazingly fast visualization**<br/>responds to all queries in less than 0.5 ms per metric, even on low-end hardware
- - **Highly efficient data collection**<br/>collects thousands of metrics per server per second, with just 1% CPU utilization of a single core on modern hardware
- - **Sophisticated alarming**<br/>supports dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, templating, multiple notification methods
- - **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, etc)
- - **Zero configuration**<br/>auto-detects everything, out of the box it can collect up to 5000 metrics per server
- - **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
- - **Embeddable**<br/>it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs (even IoT) and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too
- - **Custom dashboards**<br/>that can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary)
- - **scales to infinity**<br/>requiring minimal central resources!

## What does it monitor?
-This is what it currently monitors (most with zero configuration):
+netdata monitors several thousands of metrics per device.
+All these metrics are collected and visualized in real-time.
-- **CPU usage, interrupts, softirqs and frequency** (total and per core)
+> _Almost all metrics are auto-detected, without any configuration._
-- **RAM, swap and kernel memory usage** (including KSM and kernel memory deduper)
+This is a list of what it currently monitors:
-- **Disks** (per disk: I/O, operations, backlog, utilization, space, etc)
+- **CPU**<br/>
