**Netdata Cloud**: Use [Netdata Cloud](docs/netdata-cloud/) and the [Nodes View](docs/netdata-cloud/nodes-view.md) to view real-time, distributed health monitoring and performance troubleshooting data for all your systems in one place. Add as many nodes as you'd like!
**Advanced users**: For those who already understand how to access a Netdata dashboard and perform basic configuration, feel free to see what's behind any of these other doors.
- [Netdata Behind Nginx](docs/Running-behind-nginx.md): Use an Nginx web server instead of Netdata's built-in server to enable TLS, HTTPS, and basic authentication.
- [Add More Charts](docs/Add-more-charts-to-netdata.md): Enable new internal or external plugins and understand when auto-detection works.
- [Performance](docs/Performance.md): Tips on running Netdata on devices with limited CPU and RAM resources, such as embedded devices, IoT, and edge devices.
- [Streaming](streaming/): Information for those who want to centralize Netdata metrics from any number of distributed agents.
- [Backends](backends/): Learn how to archive Netdata's real-time metrics to a time series database (like Prometheus) for long-term archiving.
