This setup allows Netdata to gather rich metrics by periodically sending HTTP requests to <a href="https://github.com/MauveSoftware/lynis_exporter">lynis_exporter</a>. Netdata is adept at ingesting data from any Prometheus exporter, empowering users to visualize information with automated dashboards and receive instant alerts without needing a separate Prometheus server or Grafana installation.</p>
