| memory mode | `dbengine` | `dbengine`: The default for long-term metrics storage with efficient RAM and disk usage. Can be extended with `page cache size` and `dbengine disk space`. <br />`save`: Netdata will save its round robin database on exit and load it on startup. <br />`map`: Cache files will be updated in real-time. Not ideal for systems with high load or slow disks (check `man mmap`). <br />`ram`: The round-robin database will be temporary and it will be lost when Netdata exits. <br />`none`: Disables the database at this host, and disables health monitoring entirely, as that requires a database of metrics. |
