We're glad you're interested in our health monitoring and performance troubleshooting system. - -Because Netdata is entirely open-source software, you can use it free of charge, whether you want to monitor one or ten -thousand systems!

If you're -completely new to Netdata, or have never tried health monitoring/performance troubleshooting systems before, this -guide is perfect for you. - -If you have monitoring experience, or would rather get straight into configuring Netdata to your needs, you can jump -straight into code and configurations with our [getting started guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/get-started.mdx). - -> This guide contains instructions for Netdata installed on a Linux system. Many of the instructions will work on -> other supported operating systems, like FreeBSD and macOS, but we can't make any guarantees. - -## Where to go if you need help - -No matter where you are in this Netdata guide, if you need help, head over to our [GitHub -repository](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/).

Monitor more than one system with Netdata](step-03.md) - -While the dashboard lets you quickly move from one agent to another, Netdata Cloud is our SaaS solution for monitoring -the health of many systems. We'll cover its features and the benefits of using Netdata Cloud on top of the dashboard. - -[Step 4. The basics of configuring Netdata](step-04.md) - -While Netdata can monitor thousands of metrics in real-time without any configuration, you may _want_ to tweak some -settings based on your system's resources. - -## Intermediate steps - -[Step 5. Health monitoring alarms and notifications](step-05.md) - -Learn how to tune, silence, and write custom alarms. Then enable notifications so you never miss a change in health -status or performance anomaly. - -[Step 6.
