 Chronos is a comprehensive developer tool that monitors the health and web traffic of servers, microservices, and containers. Use Chronos to see real-time data monitoring and receive automated notifications over Slack or email.
 
 #
 
 ## What's New?
+- Bug Fixes
 - Metric query tool so you can filter out specific metrics — now you only have to see what you want on the dashboard.
 - Additional metrics added, bringing Chronos up from only 12 to 100+ metrics that are currently available
 - Option to filter by category and individual metric, and flip between services and categories with ease
 - Kubernetes monitoring via Prometheus server
 - Apache Kafka monitoring capability, all you need to do is run Prometheus JMX exporter on the system your Chronos application is running on. A sample JMX config.yaml file is provided in the Chronos repository for a quick and easy setup, however you are free to configure however you like.
-- Bug fixes and UI tweaks — Chronos is now a more seamless experience than ever.

 ### Viewing Chronos Data
 Once you have configured and intialized Chronos Tracker, it will automatically record monitoring data when your servers are running. The data will be saved into your database of choice, and then start the Chronos desktop app to view by cloning our [GitHub repo](https://github.com/open-source-labs/Chronos). Folow the ReadMe in that repo to setup the Chronos desktop app.
