> *New to netdata? Here is a live demo: [http://my-netdata.io](http://my-netdata.io)*
**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 runs on **Linux**, **FreeBSD**, and **MacOS**.

</p>
- **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 alerting**<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, flock.com,
pushover.net, pushbullet.com, telegram.org, twilio.com, messagebird.com, kavenegar.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)
