-# Supported collectors list
+# Monitor anything with Netdata
Netdata uses collectors to help you gather metrics from your favorite applications and services and view them in
real-time, interactive charts. The following list includes collectors for both external services/applications and
internal system metrics.

Some collectors have both Go and Python versions as we continue our effort to migrate all collectors to Go. In these
cases, _Netdata always prioritizes the Go version_, and we highly recommend you use the Go versions for the best
experience.
If you want to use a Python version of a collector, you need to

+explicitly [disable the Go version](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/REFERENCE.md#enable-and-disable-a-specific-collection-module),
and enable the Python version. Netdata then skips the Go version and attempts to load the Python version and its
accompanying configuration file.
+## Add your application to Netdata
+
If you don't see the app/service you'd like to monitor in this list:
+- If your application has a Prometheus endpoint, Netdata can monitor it! Look at our
+ [generic Prometheus collector](https://github.com/netdata/go.d.plugin/blob/master/modules/prometheus/README.md).
+
+- If your application is instrumented to expose [StatsD](https://blog.netdata.cloud/introduction-to-statsd/) metrics,
+ see our [generic StatsD collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/statsd.plugin/README.md).
+
+- If you have data in CSV, JSON, XML or other popular formats, you may be able to use our
+ [generic structured data (Pandas) collector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/pandas/README.md),
+
- Check out our [GitHub issues](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues). Use the search bar to look for previous
discussions about that collector—we may be looking for assistance from users such as yourself!
+
- If you don't see the collector there, you can make
a [feature request](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/new/choose) on GitHub.
+
- If you have basic software development skills, you can add your own plugin
- in [Go](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin#how-to-develop-a-collector)
