Put key metrics from -any number of distributed systems in one place for a bird's eye view of your infrastructure. - -Click on the **Dashboards** tab in any War Room to get started. - -## Create your first dashboard - -From the Dashboards tab, click on the **+** button. - -<img width="98" alt=" Green plus button " src="https://github.com/netdata/netdata/assets/73346910/511e2b38-e751-4a88-bc7d-bcd49764b7f6"/> - - -In the modal, give your custom dashboard a name, and click **+ Add**. - -- The **Add Chart** button on the top right of the interface adds your first chart card. From the dropdown, select either **All Nodes** or a specific -node. Next, select the context. You'll see a preview of the chart before you finish adding it. In this modal you can also [interact with the chart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md), meaning you can configure all the aspects of the [NIDL framework](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md#nidl-framework) of the chart and more in detail, you can: - - define which `group by` method to use - - select the aggregation function over the data source - - select nodes - - select instances - - select dimensions - - select labels - - select the aggregation function over time - - After you are done configuring the chart, you can also change the type of the chart from the right hand side of the [Title bar](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md#title-bar), and select which of the final dimensions you want to be visible and in what order, from the [Dimensions bar](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md#dimensions-bar). - -- The **Add Text** button on the top right of the interface creates a new card with user-defined text, which you can use to describe or document a -particular dashboard's meaning and purpose. - -> ### Important -> -> Be sure to click the **Save** button any time you make changes to your dashboard. - - -## Using your dashboard - -Dashboards are designed to be interactive and flexible so you can design them to your exact needs. Dashboards are made -of any number of **cards**, which can contain charts or text. - -### Chart cards - -The charts you add to any dashboard are [fully interactive](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md), just like any other Netdata chart. You can zoom in and out, highlight timeframes, and more. - -Charts also synchronize as you interact with them, even across contexts _or_ nodes. - -### Text cards - -You can use text cards as notes to explain to other members of the [War Room](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/organize-your-infrastrucutre-invite-your-team.md#netdata-cloud-war-rooms) the purpose of the dashboard's arrangement. - -### Move cards - -To move any card, click and hold on **Drag & rearrange** at the top right of the card and drag it to a new location. A red placeholder indicates the -new location. Once you release your mouse, other charts re-sort to the grid system automatically. - -### Resize cards - -To resize any card on a dashboard, click on the bottom-right corner and drag to the card's new size. Other cards re-sort -to the grid system automatically. - -## Go to chart - -Quickly jump to the location of the chart in either the Overview tab or if the card refers to a single node, its single node dashboard by clicking the 3-dot icon in the corner of any card to open a menu. Hit the **Go to Chart** item. - -You'll land directly on that chart of interest, but you can now scroll up and down to correlate your findings with other -charts. Of course, you can continue to zoom, highlight, and pan through time just as you're used to with Netdata Charts. - -## Managing your dashboard - -To see dashboards associated with the current War Room, click the **Dashboards** tab in any War Room. You can select -dashboards and delete them using the 🗑️ icon. - -### Update/save a dashboard - -If you've made changes to a dashboard, such as adding or moving cards, the **Save** button is enabled. Click it to save -your most recent changes. Any other members of the War Room will be able to see these changes the next time they load -this dashboard. - -If multiple users attempt to make concurrent changes to the same dashboard, the second user who hits Save will be -prompted to either overwrite the dashboard or reload to see the most recent changes. - -### Remove an individual card - -Click on the 3-dot icon in the corner of any card to open a menu. Click the **Remove** item to remove the card. - -### Delete a dashboard - -Delete any dashboard by navigating to it and clicking the **Delete** button. This will remove this entry from the -dropdown for every member of this War Room. - -### Minimum browser viewport - -Because of the visual complexity of individual charts, dashboards require a minimum browser viewport of 800px. - -## What's next? - -Once you've designed a dashboard or two, make sure -to [invite your team](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/organize-your-infrastrucutre-invite-your-team.md#invite-your-team) if -you haven't already.
