-# Netdata ini config files
-
-Configuration files `netdata.conf` and `stream.conf` are Netdata ini files.
-
-## Motivation
-
-The whole idea came up when we were evaluating the documentation involved
-in maintaining a complex configuration system. Our intention was to give
-configuration options for everything imaginable. But then, documenting all
-these options would require a tremendous amount of time, users would have
-to search through endless pages for the option they need, etc.
-
-We concluded then that **configuring software like that is a waste of time
-and effort**. Of course there must be plenty of configuration options, but
-the implementation itself should require a lot less effort for both the
-developers and the users.
-
-So, we did this:
-
-1.  No configuration is required to run Netdata
-2.  There are plenty of options to tweak
-3.  There is minimal documentation (or no at all)
-
-## Why this works?
-
-The configuration file is a `name = value` dictionary with `[sections]`.
-Write whatever you like there as long as it follows this simple format.
-
-Netdata loads this dictionary and then when the code needs a value from
-it, it just looks up the `name` in the dictionary at the proper `section`.
-In all places, in the code, there are both the `names` and their
-`default values`, so if something is not found in the configuration
-file, the default is used. The lookup is made using B-Trees and hashes
-(no string comparisons), so they are super fast. Also the `names` of the
-settings can be `my super duper setting that once set to yes, will turn the world upside down = no`
-
--   so goodbye to most of the documentation involved.
-
-Next, Netdata can generate a valid configuration for the user to edit.
-No need to remember anything or copy and paste settings. Just get the
-configuration from the server (`/netdata.conf` on your Netdata server),
-edit it and save it.
-
-Last, what about options you believe you have set, but you misspelled?
-When you get the configuration file from the server, there will be a
-comment above all `name = value` pairs the server does not use.
-So you know that whatever you wrote there, is not used.
