You already -created a Space and War Room when you first signed in to Cloud, assuming you weren't invited to an existing Space by -someone else. - -In either case, you can always create new Spaces and War Rooms based on your changing needs or a scaled-up -infrastructure. Let's talk through some strategies for building the most intuitive Cloud experience for your team. - -> This guide assumes you've already [signed in](https://app.netdata.cloud) to Netdata Cloud and finished creating your -> account. If you're not interested in Netdata Cloud's features, you can skip ahead to [node configuration -> basics](/docs/configure/nodes.md). - -## Spaces - -Spaces are high-level containers to help you organize your team members and the nodes they can view in each War Room. -You already have at least one Space in your Netdata Cloud account. - -To create a new Space, click the **+** icon, enter its name, and click **Save**. Netdata Cloud distinguishes between -Spaces with abbreviated versions of their name. Click on any of the icons to switch between them. - -![Spaces navigation in Netdata -Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/92177439-5b22d000-edf5-11ea-9323-383347f21c8d.png) - -The organization you choose will likely be based on two factors: - -1. The fact that any node can be claimed to a single Space. -2. The size of your team and the complexity of the infrastructure you monitor. - -A single Space puts all your metrics in one easily-accessible place, while multiple Spaces creates logical division -between different users and different pieces of a large infrastructure. - -For example, a large organization might have one SRE team for the user-facing SaaS application, and a second IT team for -managing employees' hardware. Since these teams don't monitor the same nodes, they can work in separate Spaces and then -further organize their nodes into War Rooms. - -You can also use multiple Spaces for different aspects of your monitoring "life," such as your work infrastructure -versus your homelab. - -## War Rooms - -War Rooms are granular containers for organizing nodes, viewing key metrics in real-time, and monitoring the health and -alarm status of many nodes. - -War Rooms organize the [at-a-glance Node view](/docs/visualize/view-all-nodes.md) and any [new -dashboards](/docs/visualize/create-dashboards.md) you build. - -We recommend a few strategies for organizing your War Rooms. - -**Service, purpose, location, etc.**: You can group War Rooms by a service (think Nginx, MySQL, Pulsar, and so on), -their purpose (webserver, database, application), their physical location, whether they're baremetal or a Docker -container, the PaaS/cloud provider it runs on, and much more. This allows you to see entire slices of your -infrastructure by moving from one War Room to another. - -**End-to-end apps/services**: If you have a user-facing SaaS product, or an internal service that said product relies -on, you may want to monitor that entire stack in a single War Room. This might include Kubernetes clusters, Docker -containers, proxies, databases, web servers, brokers, and more. End-to-end War Rooms are valuable tools for ensuring the -health and performance of your organization's essential services. - -**Incident response**: You can also create new War Rooms as one of the first steps in your incident response process. -For example, you have a user-facing web app that relies on Apache Pulsar for a message queue, and one of your nodes -using the [Pulsar collector](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/pulsar) begins -reporting a suspiciously low messages rate. You can create a War Room called `$year-$month-$day-pulsar-rate`, add all -your Pulsar nodes in addition to nodes they connect to, and begin diagnosing the root cause in a War Room optimized for -getting to resolution as fast as possible. - -For example, here is a War Room based on the node's provider and physical location (**us-east-1**). - -![An example War Room based on provider and -location](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/92178714-ff0d7b00-edf7-11ea-8411-09b2e75a5529.png) - -## What's next? - -Once you've figured out an organizational structure that works for your infrastructure, it's time to [invite your -team](/docs/configure/invite-collaborate.md). You can invite any number of colleagues to help you collectively -troubleshoot the most complex of infrastructure-wide performance issues. - -If you don't have a team or aren't ready to invite them, you can skip ahead to learn the [basics of node -configuration](/docs/configure/nodes.md). - -[![analytics](https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&aip=1&t=pageview&_s=1&ds=github&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnetdata%2Fnetdata&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fmy-netdata.io%2Fgithub%2Fdocs%2Fconfigure%2Fspaces-war-rooms&_u=MAC~&cid=5792dfd7-8dc4-476b-af31-da2fdb9f93d2&tid=UA-64295674-3)](<>) |
