-
- - **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)

-## What does it monitor?
-
-netdata collects several thousands of metrics per device.
-All these metrics are collected and visualized in real-time.
-
-> _Almost all metrics are auto-detected, without any configuration._
-
-This is a list of what it currently monitors:
-
-- **CPU**<br/>
-  usage, interrupts, softirqs, frequency, total and per core, CPU states
-
-- **Memory**<br/>
-  RAM, swap and kernel memory usage, KSM (Kernel Samepage Merging), NUMA
-
-- **Disks**<br/>
-  per disk: I/O, operations, backlog, utilization, space, software RAID (md)
-
-   ![sda](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2662304/14093195/c882bbf4-f554-11e5-8863-1788d643d2c0.gif)
-
-- **Network interfaces**<br/>
-  per interface: bandwidth, packets, errors, drops
-
-   ![dsl0](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2662304/14093128/4d566494-f554-11e5-8ee4-5392e0ac51f0.gif)
-
-- **IPv4 networking**<br/>
-  bandwidth, packets, errors, fragments,
-  tcp: connections, packets, errors, handshake,
-  udp: packets, errors,
-  broadcast: bandwidth, packets,
-  multicast: bandwidth, packets
-
-- **IPv6 networking**<br/>
-  bandwidth, packets, errors, fragments, ECT,
-  udp: packets, errors,
-  udplite: packets, errors,
-  broadcast: bandwidth,
-  multicast: bandwidth, packets,
-  icmp: messages, errors, echos, router, neighbor, MLDv2, group membership,
-  break down by type
-
-- **Interprocess Communication - IPC**<br/>
-  such as semaphores and semaphores arrays
-
-- **netfilter / iptables Linux firewall**<br/>
-  connections, connection tracker events, errors
+## Why use Netdata?
 
-- **Linux DDoS protection**<br/>
-  SYNPROXY metrics
+Netdata is a monitoring agent you install on all your systems.
 
-- **fping** latencies</br>
-  for any number of hosts, showing latency, packets and packet loss
+It is:

+- a **metrics collector** - for system and application metrics (including web servers, databases, containers, etc)
+- a **time-series database** - all stored in memory (does not touch the disks while it runs)
+- a **metrics visualizer** - super fast, interactive, modern, optimized for anomaly detection
+- an **alarms notification engine** - an advanced watchdog for detecting performance and availability issues
 
+All packaged together in a very flexible, extremely modular, distributed application.
 
-- **Processes**<br/>
-  running, blocked, forks, active
+This is how netdata compares to other monitoring solutions:
 
-- **Entropy**<br/>
-  random numbers pool, using in cryptography
+netdata|others (open-source and commercial)
+:---:|:---:
+**High resolution metrics** (1s granularity)|Low resolution metrics (10s granularity at best)
+Monitors everything, **thousands of metrics per node**|Monitor just a few metrics
+UI is super fast, optimized for **anomaly detection**|UI is good for just an abstract view
+**Meaningful presentation** for all metrics (educational)|You have to know the metrics before you start
+Install and get results **immediately**|A long preparation is required to get any useful results
+Use it to **troubleshooting** performance problems|Use them to get statistics of past performance
+**Kills the console** for tracing performance issues|The console is required for troubleshooting
+Requires **zero dedicated resources**|Require dedicated resources
 
-- **NFS file servers and clients**<br/>
-  NFS v2, v3, v4: I/O, cache, read ahead, RPC calls
+Netdata is **free**, super **fast**, very **easy**, completely **open**, **flexible** and integrate-able.
+It has been designed by **SysAdmins**, **DevOps** and **Developers** for troubleshooting performance problems, not just
+visualizing metrics. 
 
-- **Network QoS**<br/>
-  the only tool that visualizes network `tc` classes in realtime
+## Quick Start

+
+More installation methods can be found at the [installation page](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/wiki/Installation).
+
+Once the installation is complete, use your web browser to navigate to: `http://IP:19999/`, where `IP` is the IP of the server you installed Netdata.
+
+> **IMPORTANT:**<br/>
+> There is no need to bookmark your servers at your browser.
+> Check the `my-netdata` menu at the top left of the dashboard.
+> **It learns your servers automatically**, so that all your netdata become **one distributed application**!

+  
+ - **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)
