39 -**WHAT CAN BE MONITORED WITH NETDATA**:

34 +**Netdata** is a high-performance, cloud-native, and on-premises observability platform designed to monitor metrics and logs with unparalleled efficiency. It delivers a simpler, faster, and significantly easier approach to real-time, low-latency monitoring for systems, containers, and applications.

35

41 -Netdata monitors all the following:

36 +What sets Netdata apart is its **cost-efficient, distributed design**. Unlike traditional monitoring solutions that centralize data, **Netdata distributes the code**. Instead of funneling all data into a few central databases, Netdata processes data at the edge, keeping it close to the source. The smart Netdata Agent acts as a distributed database, enabling the construction of complex observability pipelines with modular, Lego-like simplicity.

869 +The Netdata ecosystem is comprised of three key components:

870 +

871 +- **Netdata Agent**: The heart of the Netdata ecosystem, the Netdata Agent is an open-source tool that must be installed on all systems monitored by Netdata. It offers a wide range of essential features, including data collection via various plugins, an embedded high-performance time-series database (dbengine), unsupervised anomaly detection powered by edge-trained machine learning, alerting and notifications, as well as query and scoring engines with associated APIs. Additionally, it supports exporting data to third-party monitoring systems, among other capabilities.

872 +

873 + The Netdata Agent is released under the [GPLv3+ license](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/LICENSE) and redistributes several other open-source tools and libraries, which are listed in the [Netdata Agent third-party licenses](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/REDISTRIBUTED.md).

874 +

875 +- **Netdata Cloud**: A commercial, closed-source component, Netdata Cloud enhances the capabilities of the open-source Netdata Agent by providing horizontal scalability, centralized alert notification dispatch (including a mobile app), user management, role-based access control, and other enterprise-grade features. It is available both as a SaaS solution and for on-premises deployment, with a free-to-use community tier also offered.

876 +

877 +- **Netdata UI**: The Netdata UI is closed-source, and handles all visualization and dashboard functionalities related to metrics, logs and other collected data, as well as the central configuration and management of the Netdata ecosystem. It serves both the Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud. The Netdata UI is distributed in binary form with the Netdata Agent and is publicly accessible via a CDN, licensed under the [Netdata Cloud UI License 1 (NCUL1)](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/web/gui/v2/LICENSE.md). It integrates third-party open-source components, detailed in the [Netdata UI third-party licenses](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/web/gui/v2/3D_PARTY_LICENSES.txt).

879 +The binary installation packages provided by Netdata include the Netdata Agent and the Netdata UI in a single package. Since the Netdata Agent is open-source, it is frequently packaged by third parties (e.g. Linux Distributions) excluding the closed-source components (Netdata UI is not included). While their packages can still be useful in providing the necessary back-ends and the APIs of a fully functional monitoring solution, we recommend using the installation packages we provide to experience the full feature set of Netdata.
