+# Alerts and notifications
+
+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
+alerts that work without any configuration.
+
+The Agent's health monitoring system is also dynamic and fully customizable. You can write entirely new alerts, tune the
+community-configured alerts for every app/service [the Agent collects metrics from](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/COLLECTORS.md), or
+silence anything you're not interested in. You can even power complex lookups by running statistical algorithms against
+your metrics.
+
+You can [use various alert notification methods](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/edit/master/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md), 
+[customize alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/health/REFERENCE.md), and 
+[disable/silence](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/health/REFERENCE.md#disable-or-silence-alerts) alerts.
