- - is **blazingly performance data visualization** - it responds to all queries in less than 0.5 ms per metric, even on low-end hardware!
- - is **highly efficient performance data collector** - it collects thousands of metrics per server per second, with just 1% CPU utilization of a single core on modern hardware!
- - has a **sophisticated alarming engine** - supporting dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, templating, multiple notification methods!
- - out of the box collects **2000+ metrics**!

-## Features
-
-This is what you get:
-
-- **Stunning bootstrap dashboards**, out of the box (theme-able: 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 auto-detects everything
-- **Zero dependencies**, it is even 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 python and node.js, so you can easily monitor any application, any API)
-- **Embeddable**, it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs (even IoT) and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too
-- **Powerful alarms and notifications**, it can send alarms as email, slack.com messages, pushover.net mobile push notifications, telegram.org messages, and more.
