+## Supported functionalities accross different distribution channels
92
+
93
+On the following section we try to depict what functionalities are available, across the different distribution channels.
94
+There are various limitations and problems we try to attend as we evolve and grow. Through this report we want to provide some clarity as to what is available and in what way. Of course we strive to deliver our full solution through all channels, but that may not be feasible yet for some cases.
95
+
96
+**Legend**:
97
+
98
+- **Auto-detect**: Depends on the programs package dependencies. If the required dependencies are covered during compile time, capability is enabled
99
+- **YES**: This flag implies that the functionality is available for that distribution channel
100
+- **NO**: Not available at the moment for that distribution channel at this time, but may be a work-in-progress effort from the Netdata team.
101
+- **At Runtime**: The given module or functionality is available and only requires configuration after install to enable it
102
+
103
+### Core functionality
104
+
105
+#### Core
106
+This is the base netdata capability, that includes basic monitoring, embedded web server, and so on.

114
+- **What packages required for auto-detect?**: `install-required-packages.sh netdata`
115
+
116
+#### DB Engine
117
+This is the brand new database engine capability of netdata. It is a mandatory facility required by netdata. Given it's special needs and dependencies though, it remains an optional facility so that users can enjoy netdata even when they cannot cover the dependencies or the H/W requirements.

126
+
127
+#### Encryption Support (HTTPS)
128
+This is Netdata's TLS capability that incorporates encryption on the web server and the APIs between master and slaves. Also a mandatory facility for Netdata, but remains optional for users who are limited or not interested in tight security
