# Netdata

Connects Netdata with Netdata's free cloud dashboard and applies some system optimizations, if necessary

## Overview

This script connects Netdata with Netdata Cloud if Netdata is installed, the `NETDATA_TOKEN` is provided, and the
`NETDATA_ROOM` is defined. This allows you to graphically browse through system metrics on all your connected devices
from a single free web application.



## Source Code
