 ## News
 
+`Jul 9th, 2019` - **[Netdata v1.16.0 released!](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases)**
+
+Release v1.16.0 contains 40 bug fixes, 31 improvements and 20 documentation updates
+
+**Binary distributions.** To improve the security, speed and reliability of new netdata installations, we are delivering our own, industry standard installation method, with binary package distributions. The RPM binaries for the most common OSs are already available on packagecloud and we’ll have the DEB ones available very soon. All distributions are considered in Beta and, as always, we depend on our amazing community for feedback on improvements.
+
+ - Our stable distributions are at [netdata/netdata @ packagecloud.io](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata)
+ - The nightly builds are at [netdata/netdata-edge @ packagecloud.io](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata-edge)
+
+**Netdata now supports TLS encryption!** You can secure the communication to the [web server](https://docs.netdata.cloud/web/server/#enabling-tls-support), the [streaming connections from slaves to the master](https://docs.netdata.cloud/streaming/#securing-the-communication) and the connection to an [openTSDB backend](https://docs.netdata.cloud/backends/opentsdb/#https). 
+
+**This version also brings two long-awaited features to netdata’s health monitoring:**
+
+ - The [health management API](https://docs.netdata.cloud/web/api/health/#health-management-api) introduced in v1.12 allowed you to easily disable alarms and/or notifications while netdata was running. However, those changes were not persisted across netdata restarts. Since part of routine maintenance activities may involve completely restarting a monitoring node, netdata now saves these configurations to disk, every time you issue a command to change the silencer settings. The new [LIST command](https://docs.netdata.cloud/web/api/health/#list-silencers) of the API allows you to view at any time which alarms are currently disabled or silenced.
+ - A way for netdata to [repeatedly send alarm notifications](https://docs.netdata.cloud/health/#alarm-line-repeat) for some, or all active alarms, at a frequency of your choosing. As a result, you will no longer have to worry about missing a notification, forgetting about a raised alarm. The default is still to only send a single notification, so that existing users are not surprised by a different behavior.  
+
+As always, we’ve introduced new collectors, 5 of them this time:
+
+ - Of special interest to people with Windows servers in their infrastructure is the [WMI collector](https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/wmi/), though we are fully aware that we need to continue our efforts to do a proper port to Windows. 
+ - The new `perf` plugin collects system-wide CPU performance statistics from Performance Monitoring Units (PMU) using the `perf_event_open()` system call. You can read a wonderful article on why this is useful [here](http://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2017-05-09/cpu-utilization-is-wrong.html).
+ - The other three are collectors to monitor [Dnsmasq DHCP leases](https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/dnsmasq_dhcp/), [Riak KV servers](https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/python.d.plugin/riakkv/) and [Pihole instances](https://docs.netdata.cloud/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/pihole/). 
+
+Finally, the DB Engine introduced in v1.15.0 now uses much less memory and is more robust than before.

 Collects resource usage and performance data on MacOS systems
 
+By default, Netdata will enable monitoring metrics for disks, memory, and network only when they are not zero. If they are constantly zero they are ignored. Metrics that will start having values, after netdata is started, will be detected and charts will be automatically added to the dashboard (a refresh of the dashboard is needed for them to appear though). Use `yes` instead of `auto` in plugin configuration sections to enable these charts permanently. You can also set the `enable zero metrics` option to `yes` in the `[global]` section which enables charts with zero metrics for all internal Netdata plugins.

+Description: real-time charts for system monitoring
+ Netdata is a daemon that collects data in realtime (per second)
+ and presents a web site to view and analyze them. The presentation
+ is also real-time and full of interactive charts that precisely
+ render all collected values.

+# Read documentation on https://docs.netdata.cloud
+
+Welcome to the Netdata documentation! While you can read Netdata documentation here, or throughout the Netdata repository, our intention is that these pages are read on [docs.netdata.cloud](https://docs.netdata.cloud). 
+
+Links between documentation pages will work fine here, but the formatting may not be perfect, as our documentation site uses a few extra Markdown features that GitHub doesn't support natively. Other things might be missing or look less than perfect.
+
+Now get out there and build an exceptional infrastructure.

+# Netdata via HAProxy
+
+> HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications. It is particularly suited for very high traffic web sites and powers quite a number of the world's most visited ones.
+
+If Netdata is running on a host running HAProxy, rather than connecting to Netdata from a port number, a domain name can be pointed at HAProxy, and HAProxy can redirect connections to the Netdata port. This can make it possible to connect to Netdata at https://example.com or https://example.com/netdata/, which is a much nicer experience then http://example.com:19999.
+
+To proxy requests from [HAProxy](https://github.com/haproxy/haproxy) to Netdata, the following configuration can be used:
+
+## Default Configuration
+
+For all examples, set the mode to `http`
+
+```
+defaults
+    mode    http
+```
+
+## Simple Configuration
+
+A simple example where the base URL, say http://example.com, is used with no subpath:
+
+### Frontend
+
+Create a frontend to recieve the request.
+
+```
+frontend http_frontend
+    ## HTTP ipv4 and ipv6 on all ips ##
+    bind :::80 v4v6
+
+    default_backend     netdata_backend
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Create the Netdata backend which will send requests to port `19999`.
+
+```
+backend netdata_backend
+    option       forwardfor
+    server       netdata_local     127.0.0.1:19999
+
+    http-request set-header Host %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+    http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Configuration with subpath
+
+A example where the base URL is used with a subpath `/netdata/`:
+
+### Frontend
+
+To use a subpath, create an ACL, which will set a variable based on the subpath.
+
+```
+frontend http_frontend
+    ## HTTP ipv4 and ipv6 on all ips ##
+    bind :::80 v4v6
+
+    # URL begins with /netdata
+    acl is_netdata url_beg  /netdata
+
+    # if trailing slash is missing, redirect to /netdata/
+    http-request redirect scheme https drop-query append-slash if is_netdata ! { path_beg /netdata/ }
+
+    ## Backends ##
+    use_backend     netdata_backend       if is_netdata
+
+    # Other requests go here (optional)
+    # put netdata_backend here if no others are used
+    default_backend www_backend
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Same as simple example, expept remove `/netdata/` with regex.
+
+```
+backend netdata_backend
+    option      forwardfor
+    server      netdata_local     127.0.0.1:19999
+
+    http-request set-path %[path,regsub(^/netdata/,/)]
+
+    http-request set-header Host %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+    http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Using TLS communication
+
+TLS can be used by adding port `443` and a cert to the frontend. This example will only use Netdata if host matches example.com (replace with your domain).
+
+### Frontend
+
+This frontend uses a certificate list.
+
+```
+frontend https_frontend
+    ## HTTP ##
+    bind :::80 v4v6
+    # Redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS with 301 redirect
+    redirect scheme https code 301 if !{ ssl_fc }
+
+    ## HTTPS ##
+    # Bind to all v4/v6 addresses, use a list of certs in file
+    bind :::443 v4v6 ssl crt-list /etc/letsencrypt/certslist.txt
+
+    ## ACL ##
+    # Optionally check host for Netdata
+    acl is_example_host  hdr_sub(host) -i example.com
+
+    ## Backends ##
+    use_backend     netdata_backend       if is_example_host
+    # Other requests go here (optional)
+    default_backend www_backend
+```
+
+In the cert list file place a mapping from a certificate file to the domain used:
+
+`/etc/letsencrypt/certslist.txt`:
+
+```
+example.com /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem
+```
+
+The file `/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem` should contain the key and certificate (in that order) concatenated into a `.pem` file.:
+
+```
+$ cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem \
+    /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem > \
+    /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/example.com.pem
+```
+
+### Backend
+
+Same as simple, except set protocol `https`.
+
+```
+backend netdata_backend
+    option forwardfor
+    server      netdata_local     127.0.0.1:19999
+
+    http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Proto https
+    http-request set-header Host %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-For %[src]
+    http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
+    http-request set-header Connection "keep-alive"
+```
+
+## Enable authentication
+
+To use basic HTTP Authentication, create a authentication list:
+
+```
+# HTTP Auth
+userlist basic-auth-list
+  group is-admin
+  # Plaintext password
+  user admin password passwordhere groups is-admin
+```
+
+You can create a hashed password using the `mkpassword` utility.
+
+```
+$ printf "passwordhere" | mkpasswd --stdin --method=sha-256
+$5$l7Gk0VPIpKO$f5iEcxvjfdF11khw.utzSKqP7W.0oq8wX9nJwPLwzy1
+```
+
+Replace `passwordhere` with hash:
+
+```
+user admin password $5$l7Gk0VPIpKO$f5iEcxvjfdF11khw.utzSKqP7W.0oq8wX9nJwPLwzy1 groups is-admin
+```
+
+Now add at the top of the backend:
+
+```
+acl devops-auth http_auth_group(basic-auth-list) is-admin
+http-request auth realm netdata_local unless devops-auth
+```
+
+## Full Example

-# Netdata via nginx
+# Running Netdata behind Nginx
 
-To pass Netdata via a nginx, use this:
+## Intro
+
+[Nginx](https://nginx.org/en/) is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server used to host websites and applications of all sizes. 
+
+The software is known for its low impact on memory resources, high scalability, and its modular, event-driven architecture which can offer secure, predictable performance.
+
+## Why Nginx
+
+- By default, Nginx is fast and lightweight out of the box.
+
+- Nginx is used and useful in cases when you want to access different instances of Netdata from a single server.
+
+- Password-protect access to Netdata, until distributed authentication is implemented via the Netdata cloud Sign In mechanism.
+
+- A proxy was necessary to encrypt the communication to netdata, until v1.16.0, which provided TLS (HTTPS) support.
+
+## Nginx configuration file
+
+All Nginx configurations can be found in the `/etc/nginx/` directory. The main configuration file is `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`. Website or app-specific configurations can be found in the `/etc/nginx/site-available/` directory.
+
+Configuration options in Nginx are known as directives. Directives are organized into groups known as blocks or contexts. The two terms can be used interchangeably.
+
+Depending on your installation source, you’ll find an example configuration file at `/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf` or `etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default`, in some cases you may have to manually create the `sites-available` and `sites-enabled` directories. 
+
+You can edit the Nginx configuration file with Nano, Vim or any other text editors you are comfortable with.
+
+After making changes to the configuration files:
+
+- Test Nginx configuration with `nginx -t`.
+
+- Restart Nginx to effect the change with `/etc/init.d/nginx restart` or `service nginx restart`.
+
+## Ways to access Netdata via Nginx
 
 ### As a virtual host

+
+## Why Netdata
+
+Netdata has a quite different approach to monitoring.
+
+Netdata is a monitoring agent you install on all your systems. 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 the above, are packaged together in a very flexible, extremely modular, distributed application.
+
+This is how Netdata compares to other monitoring solutions:
+
+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**, to help you understand the metrics|You have to know the metrics before you start
+Install and get results **immediately**|Long preparation is required to get any useful results
+Use it for **troubleshooting** performance problems|Use them to get *statistics of past performance*
+**Kills the console** for tracing performance issues|The console is always required for troubleshooting
+Requires **zero dedicated resources**|Require large dedicated resources
+
+Netdata is **open-source**, **free**, super **fast**, very **easy**, completely **open**, extremely **efficient**,
+**flexible** and integrate-able.
+
+It has been designed by **SysAdmins**, **DevOps** and **Developers** for troubleshooting performance problems,
+not just visualize metrics.
+
+## How it works
+
+Netdata is a highly efficient, highly modular, metrics management engine. Its lockless design makes it ideal for concurrent operations on the metrics.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2662304/48323827-b4c17580-e636-11e8-842c-0ee72fcb4115.png)
+
+This is how it works:
+
+Function|Description|Documentation
+:---:|:---|:---:
+**Collect**|Multiple independent data collection workers are collecting metrics from their sources using the optimal protocol for each application and push the metrics to the database. Each data collection worker has lockless write access to the metrics it collects.|[`collectors`](../collectors/#data-collection-plugins)
+**Store**|Metrics are stored in RAM in a round robin database (ring buffer), using a custom made floating point number for minimal footprint.|[`database`](../database/#database)
+**Check**|A lockless independent watchdog is evaluating **health checks** on the collected metrics, triggers alarms, maintains a health transaction log and dispatches alarm notifications.|[`health`](../health/#health-monitoring)
+**Stream**|An lockless independent worker is streaming metrics, in full detail and in real-time, to remote Netdata servers, as soon as they are collected.|[`streaming`](../streaming/#streaming-and-replication)
+**Archive**|A lockless independent worker is down-sampling the metrics and pushes them to **backend** time-series databases.|[`backends`](../backends/)
+**Query**|Multiple independent workers are attached to the [internal web server](../web/server/#web-server), servicing API requests, including [data queries](../web/api/queries/#database-queries).|[`web/api`](../web/api/#api)
+
+The result is a highly efficient, low latency system, supporting multiple readers and one writer on each metric.

+
+This is what you should expect from Netdata:
+
+### General
+- **1s granularity** - the highest possible resolution for all metrics.
+- **Unlimited metrics** - collects all the available metrics, the more the better.
+- **1% CPU utilization of a single core** - it is super fast, unbelievably optimized.
+- **A few MB of RAM** - by default it uses 25MB RAM. [You size it](../database).
+- **Zero disk I/O** - while it runs, it does not load or save anything (except `error` and `access` logs).
+- **Zero configuration** - auto-detects everything, it can collect up to 10000 metrics per server out of the box.
+- **Zero maintenance** - You just run it, it does the rest.
+- **Zero dependencies** - it is even its own web server, for its static web files and its web API (though its plugins may require additional libraries, depending on the applications monitored).
+- **Scales to infinity** - you can install it on all your servers, containers, VMs and IoTs. Metrics are not centralized by default, so there is no limit.
+- **Several operating modes** - Autonomous host monitoring (the default), 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.
+
+### Health Monitoring & Alarms
+- **Sophisticated alerting** - comes with hundreds of alarms, **out of the box**! Supports dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, alarm templates, multiple role-based notification methods.
+- **Notifications**: [alerta.io](../health/notifications/alerta/), [amazon sns](../health/notifications/awssns/), [discordapp.com](../health/notifications/discord/), [email](../health/notifications/email/), [flock.com](../health/notifications/flock/), [irc](../health/notifications/irc/), [kavenegar.com](../health/notifications/kavenegar/), [messagebird.com](../health/notifications/messagebird/), [pagerduty.com](../health/notifications/pagerduty/), [prowl](../health/notifications/prowl/), [pushbullet.com](../health/notifications/pushbullet/), [pushover.net](../health/notifications/pushover/), [rocket.chat](../health/notifications/rocketchat/), [slack.com](../health/notifications/slack/), [smstools3](../health/notifications/smstools3/), [syslog](../health/notifications/syslog/), [telegram.org](../health/notifications/telegram/), [twilio.com](../health/notifications/twilio/), [web](../health/notifications/web/) and [custom notifications](../health/notifications/custom/).
+
+### Integrations
+- **time-series dbs** - can archive its metrics to **Graphite**, **OpenTSDB**, **Prometheus**, **AWS Kinesis**, **JSON document DBs**, in the same or lower resolution (lower: to prevent it from congesting these servers due to the amount of data collected). Netdata also supports **Prometheus remote write API** which allows storing metrics to **Elasticsearch**, **Gnocchi**, **InfluxDB**, **Kafka**, **PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB**, **Splunk**, **VictoriaMetrics** and a lot of other [storage providers](https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/integrations/#remote-endpoints-and-storage).
+
+## Visualization
+
+- **Stunning interactive dashboards** - mouse, touchpad and touch-screen friendly in 2 themes: `slate` (dark) and `white`.
+- **Amazingly fast visualization** - responds to all queries in less than 1 ms per metric, even on low-end hardware.
+- **Visual anomaly detection** - the dashboards are optimized for detecting anomalies visually.
+- **Embeddable** - its charts can be embedded on your web pages, wikis and blogs. You can even use [Atlassian's Confluence as a monitoring dashboard](../web/gui/confluence/).
+- **Customizable** - custom dashboards can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary).
+
+### Positive and negative values
+
+To improve clarity on charts, Netdata dashboards present **positive** values for metrics representing `read`, `input`, `inbound`, `received` and **negative** values for metrics representing `write`, `output`, `outbound`, `sent`.
+
+![positive-and-negative-values](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2662304/48309090-7c5c6180-e57a-11e8-8e03-3a7538c14223.gif)
+
+*Netdata charts showing the bandwidth and packets of a network interface. `received` is positive and `sent` is negative.*
+
+### Autoscaled y-axis
+

-For some alarms we need compare two time-frames, to detect anomalies. For example, `health.d/httpcheck.conf` has an alarm template called `web_service_slow` that compares the average http call response time over the last 3 minutes, compared to the average over the last hour. It triggers a warning alarm when the average of the last 3 minutes is twice the average of the last hour. In such cases, it is easy to trigger the alarm, but difficult to tell when the alarm is cleared. As time passes, the newest window moves into the older, so the average response time of the last hour will keep increasing. Eventually, the comparison will find the averages in the two time-frames close enough to clear the alarm. However, the issue was not resolved, it's just a matter of the newer data "polluting" the old.

 ### Docker container names resolution
 
-If you want to have your container names resolved by netdata, you need to do two things:
-1) Make netdata user be part of the group that owns the socket.
-   To achieve that just add environment variable `PGID=[GROUP NUMBER]` to the netdata container,
-   where `[GROUP NUMBER]` is practically the group id of the group assigned to the docker socket, on your host.
-   This group number can be found by running the following (if socket group ownership is docker):
-   ```bash
-   grep docker /etc/group | cut -d ':' -f 3
-   ```
-
-2) Change docker socket access level to read/write like so:
-   from
-   ```
-   /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
-   ```
-
-   change to
-   ```
-   /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:rw
-   ```
+There are a few options for resolving container names within netdata. Some methods of doing so will allow root access to your machine from within the container. Please read the following carefully.
+
+#### Docker Socket Proxy (Safest Option)
+
+Deploy a Docker socket proxy that accepts and filter out requests using something like [HAProxy](https://docs.netdata.cloud/docs/running-behind-haproxy/) so that it restricts connections to read-only access to the CONTAINERS endpoint.
+
+The reason it's safer to expose the socket to the proxy is because netdata has a TCP port exposed outside the Docker network. Access to the proxy container is limited to only within the network.
+
+#### Giving group access to Docker Socket (Less safe)
 
 **Important Note**: You should seriously consider the necessity of activating this option,
-as it grants to the netdata user access to the privileged socket connection of docker service
+as it grants to the netdata user access to the privileged socket connection of docker service and therefore your whole machine.

+### Binary Packages
+![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/web/gui/images/packaging-beta-tag.svg?sanitize=true)
+
+We provide our own flavour of binary packages for the most common operating systems that comply with .RPM and .DEB packaging formats.
+
+We have currently released packages following the .RPM format with version [1.16.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.16.0).
+We have planned to release packages following the .DEB format with version [1.17.0](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases/tag/v1.17.0).
+Early adopters may experiment with our .DEB formatted packages using our nightly releases. Our current packaging infrastructure provider is [Package Cloud](https://packagecloud.io).
+
+Netdata is committed to support installation of our solution to all operating systems. This is a constant battle for Netdata, as we strive to automate and make things easier for our users. For the operating system support matrix, please visit our [distributions](../../packaging/DISTRIBUTIONS.md) support page.
+
+We provide two separate repositories, one for our stable releases and one for our nightly releases.
+
+1. Stable releases: Our stable production releases are hosted in [netdata/netdata](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata) repository of package cloud
+2. Nightly releases: Our latest releases are hosted in [netdata/netdata-edge](https://packagecloud.io/netdata/netdata-edge) repository of package cloud
+
+Visit the repository pages and follow the quick set-up instructions to get started.

+
+## Nightly vs. stable releases
+
+The Netdata team maintains two releases of the Netdata agent: **nightly** and **stable**. By default, Netdata's installation scripts will give you **automatic, nightly** updates, as that is our recommended configuration.
+
+**Nightly**: We create nightly builds every 24 hours. They contain fully-tested code that fixes bugs or security flaws, or introduces new features to Netdata. Every nightly release is a candidate for then becoming a stable release—when we're ready, we simply change the release tags on GitHub. That means nightly releases are stable and proven to function correctly in the vast majority of Netdata use cases. That's why nightly is the *best choice for most Netdata users*.
+
+**Stable**: We create stable releases whenever we believe the code has reached a major milestone. Most often, stable releases correlate with the introduction of new, significant features. Stable releases might be a better choice for those who run Netdata in *mission-critical production systems*, as updates will come more infrequently, and only after the community helps fix any bugs that might have been introduced in previous releases.
+
+**Pros of using nightly releases:**
+
+  - Get the latest features and bugfixes as soon as they're available
+  - Receive security-related fixes immediately
+  - Use stable, fully-tested code that's always improving
+  - Leverage the same Netdata experience our community is using
+
+**Pros of using stable releases:**
+
+  - Protect yourself from the rare instance when major bugs slip through our testing and negatively affect a Netdata installation
+  - Retain more control over the Netdata version you use
+
+
+## Automatic updates
+
+By default, Netdata's installation scripts enable automatic updates for both nightly and stable release channels.
+
+If you would prefer to manually update your Netdata agent, you can disable automatic updates by using the `--no-updates` option when you install or update Netdata using the [one-line installation script](#one-line-installation).
+
+```bash
+bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh) --no-updates
+```
+
+With automatic updates disabled, you can choose exactly when and how you [update Netdata](UPDATE.md).

With encryption enabled on the receiving side, you need to instruct the slave to use TLS/SSL as well. On the slave's `stream.conf`, configure the destination as follows:

+??? info "Differences in TLS and SSL terminology"
+    While Netdata uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 to encrypt communications rather than the obsolete SSL protocol, it's still common practice to refer to encrypted web connections as `SSL`. Many vendors, like Nginx and even Netdata itself, use `SSL` in configuration files, whereas documentation will always refer to encrypted communications as `TLS` or `TLS/SSL`.

+When TLS/SSL is enabled on the slave, the default behavior will be to not connect with the master unless the server's certificate can be verified via the default chain. In case you want to avoid this check, add the following to the slave's `stream.conf` file:
 
 ```
 [stream]
     ssl skip certificate verification = yes
 ```
 
+#### Trusted certificate
+
+If you've enabled [certificate verification](#certificate-verification), you might see errors from the OpenSSL library when there's a problem with checking the certificate chain (`X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY`). More importantly, OpenSSL will reject self-signed certificates.
+
+Given these known issues, you have two options. If you trust your certificate, you can set the options `CApath` and `CAfile` to inform Netdata where your certificates, and the certificate trusted file, are stored.
+
+For more details about these options, you can read about [verify locations](https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations.html).
+
+Before you changed your streaming configuration, you need to copy your trusted certificate to your slave system and add the certificate to OpenSSL's list.
+
+On most Linux distributions, the `update-ca-certificates` command searches inside the `/usr/share/ca-certificates` directory for certificates. You should double-check by reading the `update-ca-certificate` manual (`man update-ca-certificate`), and then change the directory in the below commands if needed.
+
+If you have `sudo` configured on your slave system, you can use that to run the following commands. If not, you'll have to log in as `root` to complete them.
+
+```
+# mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/netdata
+# cp master_cert.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/netdata/master_cert.crt
+# chown -R netdata.netdata /usr/share/ca-certificates/netdata/
+```
+
+First, you create a new directory to store your certificates for Netdata. Next, you need to change the extension on your certificate from `.pem` to `.crt` so it's compatible with `update-ca-certificate`. Finally, you need to change permissions so the user that runs Netdata can access the directory where you copied in your certificate.
+
+Next, edit the file `/etc/ca-certificates.conf` and add the following line:
+
+```
+netdata/master_cert.crt
+```
+
+Now you update the list of certificates running the following, again either as `sudo` or `root`:
+
+```
+# update-ca-certificates
+```
+
+!!! note
+    Some Linux distributions have different methods of updating the certificate list. For more details, please read this guide on [addding trusted root certificates](https://github.com/Busindre/How-to-Add-trusted-root-certificates).
+
+Once you update your certificate list, you can set the stream parameters for Netdata to trust the master certificate. Open `stream.conf` for editing and change the following lines:
+
+```
+[stream]
+    CApath = /etc/ssl/certs/
+    CAfile = /etc/ssl/certs/master_cert.pem
+```
+
+With this configuration, the `CApath` option tells Netdata to search for trusted certificates inside `/etc/ssl/certs`. The `CAfile` option specifies the Netdata master certificate is located at `/etc/ssl/certs/master_cert.pem`. With this configuration, you can skip using the system's entire list of certificates and use Netdata's master certificate instead.
+
 #### Expected behaviors
 
-With the introduction of SSL, the master-slave communication behaves as shown in the table below, depending on the following configurations:
-- Master TLS (Yes/No): Whether the `[web]` section in `netdata.conf` has `ssl key` and `ssl certificate`.
-- Master port SSL (-/force/optional): Depends on whether the `[web]` section `bind to` contains a `^SSL=force` or `^SSL=optional` directive on the port(s) used for streaming.
-- Slave TLS (Yes/No): Whether the destination in the slave's `stream.conf` has `:SSL` at the end.
-- Slave SSL Verification (yes/no): Value of the slave's `stream.conf` `ssl skip certificate verification` parameter (default is no).
+With the introduction of TLS/SSL, the master-slave communication behaves as shown in the table below, depending on the following configurations:
+
+- **Master TLS (Yes/No)**: Whether the `[web]` section in `netdata.conf` has `ssl key` and `ssl certificate`.
+- **Master port TLS (-/force/optional)**: Depends on whether the `[web]` section `bind to` contains a `^SSL=force` or `^SSL=optional` directive on the port(s) used for streaming.
+- **Slave TLS (Yes/No)**: Whether the destination in the slave's `stream.conf` has `:SSL` at the end.

 ### Enabling TLS support
 
+Since v1.16.0, Netdata supports encrypted HTTP connections to the web server, plus encryption of streaming data between a slave and its master, via the TLS 1.2 protocol.
 
-Netdata since version 1.16 supports encrypted HTTP connections to the web server and encryption of the data stream between a slave and a master. 
-Inbound unix socket connections are unaffected, regardless of the SSL settings.  
-To enable SSL, provide the path to your certificate and private key in the `[web]` section of `netdata.conf`:
+Inbound unix socket connections are unaffected, regardless of the TLS settings.  
+??? info "Differences in TLS and SSL terminology"
+    While Netdata uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 to encrypt communications rather than the obsolete SSL protocol, it's still common practice to refer to encrypted web connections as `SSL`. Many vendors, like Nginx and even Netdata itself, use `SSL` in configuration files, whereas documentation will always refer to encrypted communications as `TLS` or `TLS/SSL`.
 
-```
+To enable TLS, provide the path to your certificate and private key in the `[web]` section of `netdata.conf`:
+
+``` conf
 [web]
 	ssl key = /etc/netdata/ssl/key.pem
 	ssl certificate = /etc/netdata/ssl/cert.pem
 ```
 
-Both files must be readable by the netdata user. If any of the two files does not exist or is unreadable, Netdata falls back to HTTP.
-
-For a master/slave connection, only the master needs these settings.
+Both files must be readable by the `netdata` user. If either of these files do not exist or are unreadable, Netdata will fall back to HTTP. For a master/slave connection, only the master needs these settings.
 
 For test purposes, you can generate self-signed certificates with the following command:
 
-```
+``` bash
 $ openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha512 -x509 -days 365 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem
 ```
 
-TIP: If you use 4096 bits for the key and the certificate, netdata will need more CPU to process the whole communication. 
-rsa4096 can be until 4 times slower than rsa2048, so we recommend using 2048 bits. You can verify the difference by running
-
-```
-$ openssl speed rsa2048 rsa4096
-```
+!!! note
+    If you use 4096 bits for your key and the certificate, Netdata will need more CPU to process the communication. `rsa4096` can be up to 4 times slower than `rsa2048`, so we recommend using 2048 bits. You can verify the difference by running:
+ 
+    ```
+    $ openssl speed rsa2048 rsa4096
+    ```
 
-#### SSL enforcement
+#### TLS/SSL enforcement
 
 When the certificates are defined and unless any other options are provided, a Netdata server will:
+
 - Redirect all incoming HTTP web server requests to HTTPS. Applies to the dashboard, the API, netdata.conf and badges.
 - Allow incoming slave connections to use both unencrypted and encrypted communications for streaming.
  
-To change this behavior, you need to modify the `bind to` setting in the `[web]` section of `netdata.conf`.
-At the end of each port definition, you can append `^SSL=force` or `^SSL=optional`. What happens with these settings differs, depending on whether the port is used for HTTP/S requests, or for streaming.

+For information how to configure the slaves to use TLS, check [securing the communication](../../streaming#securing-streaming-communications) in the streaming documentation. There you will find additional details on the expected behavior for client and server nodes, when their respective TLS options are enabled.
+
+When we define the use of SSL in a Netdata agent for different ports,  Netdata will apply the behavior specified on each port. For example, using the configuration line below:
+
+```
+[web]
+    bind to = *=dashboard|registry|badges|management|streaming|netdata.conf^SSL=force *:20000=netdata.conf^SSL=optional *:20001=dashboard|registry
+```
+
+Netdata will:
+
+- Force all HTTP requests to the default port to be redirected to HTTPS (same port).
+- Refuse unencrypted streaming connections from slaves on the default port.
+- Allow both HTTP and HTTPS requests to port 20000 for netdata.conf
+- Force HTTP requests to port 20001 to be redirected to HTTPS (same port). Only allow requests for the dashboard, the read API and the registry on port 20001.
+
+#### TLS/SSL errors
+
+When you start using Netdata with TLS, you may find errors in the Netdata log, which is stored at `/var/log/netdata/error.log` by default.
 
-#### SSL error
+Most of the time, these errors are due to incompatibilities between your browser's options related to TLS/SSL protocols and Netdata's internal configuration. The most common error is `error:00000006:lib(0):func(0):EVP lib`. 
 
-It is possible that when you start to use the Netdata with SSL some erros will be register in the logs, this happens due possible incompatibilities between the browser options related to SSL like Ciphers and TLS/SSL version and the Netdata internal configuration. The most common error would be `error:00000006:lib(0):func(0):EVP lib`. In a near future the Netdata will allow our users to change the internal configuration to avoid errors like this, but until there we are setting the most common and safety options to the communication.
+In the near future, Netdata will allow our users to change the internal configuration to avoid similar errors. Until then, we're recommending only the most common and safe encryption protocols, which you can find above.
