The console should not provide more metrics.* + +3. **[Meaningful presentation, optimized for visual anomaly detection.](meaningful-presentation.md)** + + *Metrics are a lot more than name-value pairs over time. The monitoring tool should know all the metrics. Users should not!* + +4. **[Immediate results, just install and use.](immediate-results.md)** + + *Most of our infrastructure is standardized. There is no point to configure everything metric by metric.* + +Unlike other monitoring solutions that focus on metrics visualization, +Netdata's helps us troubleshoot slowdowns without touching the console. + +So, everything is a bit different. + +[]() |
