You can create more meaningful visualizations for troubleshooting or +keep a watchful eye on your infrastructure's most meaningful metrics without moving from node to node. + +In the War Room you want to monitor with this dashboard, click on your War Room's dropdown, then click on the green **+ +Add** button next to **Dashboards**. In the panel, give your new dashboard a name, and click **+ Add**. + +Click the **Add Chart** button to add your first chart card. From the dropdown, select the node you want to add the +chart from, then the context. Netdata Cloud shows you a preview of the chart before you finish adding it. + +The **Add Text** button creates a new card with user-defined text, which you can use to describe or document a +particular dashboard's meaning and purpose.

You can +pan through time, zoom, highlight specific timeframes, and more. + +Move any card by clicking on their top panel and dragging them to a new location. Other cards re-sort to the grid system +automatically. You can also resize any card by grabbing the bottom-right corner and dragging it to its new size. + +Hit the **Save** button to finalize your dashboard. Any other member of the War Room can now access it and make changes. + +## Jump to single-node Cloud dashboards + +While dashboards help you associate essential charts from distributed nodes on a single pane of glass, you might need +more detail when troubleshooting an issue. Quickly jump to any node's dashboard by clicking the 3-dot icon in the corner +of any card to open a menu. Hit the **Go to Chart** item. + +Netdata Cloud takes you to the same chart on that node's dashboard. You can now navigate all that node's metrics and +[interact with charts](/docs/visualize/interact-dashboards-charts.md) to further investigate anomalies or troubleshoot +complex performance problems. + +When viewing a single-node Cloud dashboard, you can also click on the add to dashboard icon Dashboard +icon to quickly add that chart to a new or existing dashboard. You might find this useful when +investigating an anomaly and want to quickly populate a dashboard with potentially correlated metrics. + +## Pin dashboards and navigate through Netdata Cloud + +Click on the **Pin** button in any dashboard to put those charts into a separate panel at the bottom of the screen. You +can now navigate through Netdata Cloud freely, individual Cloud dashboards, the Nodes view, different War Rooms, or even +different Spaces, and have those valuable metrics follow you. + +Pinning dashboards helps you correlate potentially related charts across your infrastructure and discover root causes +faster. + +## What's next? + +While it's useful to see real-time metrics on flexible dashboards, you need ways to know precisely when an anomaly +strikes. Every Netdata Agent comes with a health watchdog that uses [alarms](/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) and +[notifications](/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md) to notify you of issues seconds after they strike. + +[![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%2Fvisualize%2Fcreate-dashboards&_u=MAC~&cid=5792dfd7-8dc4-476b-af31-da2fdb9f93d2&tid=UA-64295674-3)](<>) -- cgit v1.2.3
