# Example

You can add custom data collectors using Python.

Netdata provides an [example python data collection module](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/example).

If you want to write your own collector, read our [writing a new Python module](/collectors/python.d.plugin/README.md#how-to-write-a-new-module) tutorial.
