+Metric retention is not important in certain use cases, such as:
+ - Data collection nodes stream collected metrics collected to a centralization point.
+ - Data collection nodes export their metrics to another time series DB, or are scraped by Prometheus
+ - Netdata installed only during incidents, to get richer information.
+In such cases, you may not want to use the dbengine at all and instead opt for memory mode `memory mode = ram` or `memory mode = none`.

## Run Netdata behind Nginx
A dedicated web server like Nginx provides far more robustness than the Agent's internal [web server](/web/README.md).
