110 + Each Netdata Agent has an API listening at the TCP port 19999 of each server.

111 + When you hit that port with a web browser (e.g. `http://server.ip:19999/`), the Netdata Agent UI is presented.

112 + When the Netdata Agent is also a Parent, the UI of the Parent includes data for all nodes that stream metrics to that Parent.

116 + Each Netdata Agent maintains each own database of metrics. But Parents can be given additional resources to maintain a much longer database than

121 + Netdata Agents and Parents can dispatch alert notifications multiple third party systems, including: `email`, `Alerta`, `AWS SNS`, `Discord`, `Dynatrace`, `flock`, `gotify`, `IRC`, `Matrix`, `MessageBird`, `Microsoft Teams`, `ntfy`, `OPSgenie`, `PagerDuty`, `Prowl`, `PushBullet`, `PushOver`, `RocketChat`, `Slack`, `SMS tools`, `StackPulse`, `Syslog`, `Telegram`, `Twilio`.

170 + Trains multiple Machine-Learning (ML) models per metric to learn the behavior of each metric individually. Netdata uses the `kmeans` algorithm and creates by default a model per metric per hour, based on the values collected for that metric over the last 6 hours. The trained models are persisted to disk.

173 Uses the trained machine learning (ML) models to detect outliers and mark collected samples as **anomalies**.
