-# Add more charts to Netdata
-
-Netdata collects system metrics by itself. It has many [internal plugins](../collectors) for collecting most of the metrics presented by default when it starts, collecting data from `/proc`, `/sys` and other Linux kernel sources.
-
-To collect non-system metrics, Netdata supports a plugin architecture. The following are the currently available external plugins:
-
-- **[Web Servers](#web-servers)**, such as apache, nginx, nginx_plus, tomcat, litespeed
-- **[Web Logs](#web-log-parsers)**, such as apache, nginx, lighttpd, gunicorn, squid access logs, apache cache.log
-- **[Load Balancers](#load-balancers)**, like haproxy
-- **[Message Brokers](#message-brokers)**, like rabbitmq, beanstalkd
-- **[Database Servers](#database-servers)**, such as mysql, mariadb, postgres, couchdb, mongodb, rethinkdb
-- **[Social Sharing Servers](#social-sharing-servers)**, like retroshare
-- **[Proxy Servers](#proxy-servers)**, like squid
-- **[HTTP accelerators](#http-accelerators)**, like varnish cache
-- **[Search engines](#search-engines)**, like elasticsearch
-- **[Name Servers](#name-servers)** (DNS), like bind, nsd, powerdns, dnsdist
-- **[DHCP Servers](#dhcp-servers)**, like ISC DHCP
-- **[UPS](#ups)**, such as APC UPS, NUT
-- **[RAID](#raid)**, such as MegaRAID
-- **[Mail Servers](#mail-servers)**, like postfix, exim, dovecot
-- **[File Servers](#file-servers)**, like samba, NFS, ftp, sftp, WebDAV
-- **[Print Servers](#print-servers)**, like CUPS
-- **[Hypervisors](#hypervisors)**, like XenServer, XCP-ng
-- **[System](#system)**, for processes and other system metrics
-- **[Sensors](#sensors)**, like temperature, fans speed, voltage, humidity, HDD/SSD S.M.A.R.T attributes
-- **[Network](#network)**, such as SNMP devices, `fping`, access points, dns_query_time, nfacct
-- **[Time Servers](#time-servers)**, like chrony
-- **[Security](#security)**, like FreeRADIUS, OpenVPN, Fail2ban
-- **[Telephony Servers](#telephony-servers)**, like openSIPS
-- **[Go applications](#go-applications)**
-- **[Household appliances](#household-appliances)**, like SMA WebBox (solar power), Fronius Symo solar power, Stiebel Eltron heating

-## configuring plugins
-
-Netdata comes with **internal** and **external** plugins:
-
-1. The **internal** ones are written in `C` and run as threads within the Netdata daemon.
-2. The **external** ones can be written in any computer language. The Netdata daemon spawns these as processes (shown with `ps fax`) and reads their metrics using pipes (so the `stdout` of external plugins is connected to Netdata for metrics collection and the `stderr` of external plugins is connected to `/var/log/netdata/error.log`).
-
-To make it easier to develop plugins, and minimize the number of threads and processes running, Netdata supports **plugin orchestrators**, each of them supporting one or more data collection **modules**. Currently we ship plugin orchestrators for 4 languages: `C`, `python`, `node.js` and `bash` and 2 more are under development (`go` and `java`).
-
-#### enabling and disabling plugins
-
-To control which plugins Netdata run, edit `netdata.conf` and check the `[plugins]` section. It looks like this:
-
-```
-[plugins]
- # enable running new plugins = yes
- # check for new plugins every = 60
- # proc = yes
- # diskspace = yes
- # cgroups = yes
- # cups = yes
- # tc = yes
- # nfacct = yes
- # idlejitter = yes
- # freeipmi = yes
- # node.d = yes
- # python.d = yes
- # fping = yes
- # ioping = yes
- # charts.d = yes
- # apps = yes
- # xenstat = yes
- # perf = no
- # slabinfo = no
-```
-
-The default for all plugins is the option `enable running new plugins`. So, setting this to `no` will disable all the plugins, except the ones specifically enabled.
-
-#### enabling and disabling modules
-
-Each of the **plugins** may support one or more data collection **modules**. To control which of its modules run, you have to consult the configuration of the **plugin** (see table below).
-
-#### modules configuration
-
-Most **modules** come with **auto-detection**, configured to work out-of-the-box on popular operating systems with the default settings.
-
-However, there are cases that auto-detection fails. Usually the reason is that the applications to be monitored do not allow Netdata to connect. In most of the cases, allowing the user `netdata` from `localhost` to connect and collect metrics, will automatically enable data collection for the application in question (it will require a Netdata restart).
-
-You can verify Netdata **external plugins and their modules** are able to collect metrics, following this procedure:
-
-```sh
-# become user netdata
-sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
-
-# execute the plugin in debug mode, for a specific module.
-# example for the python plugin, mysql module:
-/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/python.d.plugin 1 debug trace mysql
-```
-
-Similarly, you can use `charts.d.plugin` for BASH plugins and `node.d.plugin` for node.js plugins.
-Other plugins (like `apps.plugin`, `freeipmi.plugin`, `fping.plugin`, `ioping.plugin`, `nfacct.plugin`, `xenstat.plugin`, `perf.plugin`, `slabinfo.plugin`) use the native Netdata plugin API and can be run directly.
-
-If you need to configure a Netdata plugin or module, all user supplied configuration is kept at `/etc/netdata` while the stock versions of all files is at `/usr/lib/netdata/conf.d`.
-To copy a stock file and edit it, run `/etc/netdata/edit-config`. Running this command without an argument, will list the available stock files.
-
-Each file should provide plenty of examples and documentation about each module and plugin.
-
-This is a map of the all supported configuration options:
