# 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
- **[Java Processes](#java-processes)**, via JMX or Spring Boot Actuator
- **[Provisioning Systems](#provisioning-systems)**, like Puppet
- **[Game Servers](#game-servers)**, like SpigotMC
- **[Distributed Computing Clients](#distributed-computing-clients)**, like BOINC
- **[Skeleton Plugins](#skeleton-plugins)**, for writing your own data collectors

Check also [Third Party Plugins](Third-Party-Plugins.md) for a list of plugins distributed by third parties.

## 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
```

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`) 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:

## writing data collection modules

You can add custom plugins following the [External Plugins Guide](../collectors/plugins.d/).
