+# Health monitoring
+
+The Netdata Agent is a health watchdog for the health and performance of your systems, services, and applications. We've
+worked closely with our community of DevOps engineers, SREs, and developers to define hundreds of production-ready
+alarms that work without any configuration.
+
+The Agent's health monitoring system is also dynamic and fully customizable. You can write entirely new alarms, tune the
+community-configured alarms for every app/service [the Agent collects metrics from](/collectors/COLLECTORS.md), or
+silence anything you're not interested in. You can even power complex lookups by running statistical algorithms against
+your metrics.

+## Guides
+
+Every infrastructure is different, so we're not interested in mandating how you should configure Netdata's health
+monitoring features. Instead, these guides should give you the details you need to tweak alarms to your heart's
+content.
