-# What is Netdata?
-
-Netdata helps sysadmins, SREs, DevOps engineers, and IT professionals collect all possible metrics from systems and
-applications, visualize these metrics in real-time, and troubleshoot complex performance problems.
-
-Netdata's solution uses two components, the Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud, to deliver real-time performance and health
-monitoring for both single nodes and entire infrastructure.
-
-## Netdata Agent
-
-Netdata's distributed monitoring Agent collects thousands of metrics from systems, hardware, and applications with zero
-configuration. It runs permanently on all your physical/virtual servers, containers, cloud deployments, and edge/IoT
-devices.
-
-You can [install](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/get-started.mdx) Netdata on most Linux
-distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and more),
-container/microservice platforms (Kubernetes clusters, Docker), and many other operating systems (FreeBSD, macOS), with
-no `sudo` required.

-
-## Netdata Cloud
-
-Netdata Cloud is a web application that gives you real-time visibility for your entire infrastructure. With Netdata
-Cloud, you can view key metrics, insightful charts, and active alarms from all your nodes in a single web interface.
-When an anomaly strikes, seamlessly navigate to any node to troubleshoot and discover the root cause with the familiar
-Netdata dashboard.
-
-**[Netdata Cloud is free](https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/why-netdata-is-free/)**! You can add an entire infrastructure
-of nodes, invite all your colleagues, and visualize any number of metrics, charts, and alarms entirely for free.
-
-While Netdata Cloud offers a centralized method of monitoring your Agents, your metrics data is not stored or
-centralized in any way. Metrics data remains with your nodes and is only streamed to your browser, through Cloud, when
-you're viewing the Netdata Cloud interface.

-## What you can do with Netdata
-
-Netdata is designed to be both simple to use and flexible for every monitoring, visualization, and troubleshooting use
-case:
-
-- **Collect**: Netdata collects all available metrics from your system and applications with 300+ collectors,
- Kubernetes service discovery, and in-depth container monitoring, all while using only 1% CPU and a few MB of RAM. It
- even collects metrics from Windows machines.
-- **Visualize**: The dashboard meaningfully presents charts to help you understand the relationships between your
- hardware, operating system, running apps/services, and the rest of your infrastructure. Add nodes to Netdata Cloud
- for a complete view of your infrastructure from a single pane of glass.
-- **Monitor**: Netdata's health watchdog uses hundreds of preconfigured alarms to notify you via Slack, email,
- PagerDuty and more when an anomaly strikes. Customize with dynamic thresholds, hysteresis, alarm templates, and
- role-based notifications.
-- **Troubleshoot**: 1s granularity helps you detect and analyze anomalies other monitoring platforms might have
- missed. Interactive visualizations reduce your reliance on the console, and historical metrics help you trace issues
- back to their root cause.
-- **Store**: Netdata's efficient database engine efficiently stores per-second metrics for days, weeks, or even
- months. Every distributed node stores metrics locally, simplifying deployment, slashing costs, and enriching
- Netdata's interactive dashboards.
-- **Export**: Integrate per-second metrics with other time-series databases like Graphite, Prometheus, InfluxDB,
- TimescaleDB, and more with Netdata's interoperable and extensible core.
-- **Stream**: Aggregate metrics from any number of distributed nodes in one place for in-depth analysis, including
- ephemeral nodes in a Kubernetes cluster.
