Netdata comes with **internal** and **external** plugins:
-1. The **internal** ones are written in `C` and run as threads within the Netdata daemon.
-2. The **external** ones can be written in any computer language. The Netdata daemon spawns these as processes (shown with `ps fax`) and reads their metrics using pipes (so the `stdout` of external plugins is connected to Netdata for metrics collection and the `stderr` of external plugins is connected to `/var/log/netdata/error.log`).

The Netdata daemon spawns these as processes (shown with `ps fax`) and reads their metrics using pipes (so the `stdout` of external plugins is connected to Netdata for metrics collection and the `stderr` of external plugins is connected to `/var/log/netdata/error.log`).
To make it easier to develop plugins, and minimize the number of threads and processes running, Netdata supports **plugin orchestrators**, each of them supporting one or more data collection **modules**. Currently we ship plugin orchestrators for 4 languages: `C`, `python`, `node.js` and `bash` and 2 more are under development (`go` and `java`).
