+While Netdata's charts require no configuration and are [easy to interact with](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md),
they have a lot of underlying complexity. To meaningfully organize charts out of the box based on what's happening in
your nodes, Netdata uses the concepts of **dimensions**, **contexts**, and **families**.

The chart shows 13 unique dimensions, such as `httpd` for the CPU utilization for web servers, `kernel` for anything
related to the Linux kernel, and so on. In your dashboard, these specific dimensions will almost certainly be different.

If you feel comfortable with the [dashboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/how-dashboard-works.md) and interacting with charts, we
recommend learning about [configuration](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md). While Netdata doesn't _require_ a complicated setup
process or a query language to create charts, there are a lot of ways to tweak the experience to match your needs.
