+---
+
+With Netdata Cloud, you can build new dashboards that target your infrastructure's unique needs. 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.
+
+![Add or manage
+dashboards](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/108529360-a2145d00-7291-11eb-814b-2ea3303beb64.png)
+
+In the modal, give your new dashboard a name, and click **+ Add**.
+
+Click the **Add Chart** button to add your first chart card. From the dropdown, select either *All Nodes** or a specific
+node. If you select **All Nodes**, you will add a [composite chart](/docs/cloud/visualize/overview#composite-charts) to
+your new dashboard. Next, select the context. You'll see 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.
+
+Be sure to click the **Save** button any time you make changes to your dashboard.
+
+![An example multi-node dashboard for system CPU
+metrics](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/108526381-4f857180-728e-11eb-9d65-1613e60891a5.png)
+
+## 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
+
+Click the **Add Chart** button to add your first chart card. From the dropdown, select either *All Nodes** or a specific
+node. If you select **All Nodes**, you will add a [composite chart](/docs/cloud/visualize/overview#composite-charts) to
+your new dashboard. Next, select the context. You'll see a preview of the chart before you finish adding it.
+
+The charts you add to any dashboard are fully interactive, just like the charts in an Agent dashboard or a single node's
+dashboard in Cloud. Zoom in and out, highlight timeframes, and more. See our 
+[Agent dashboard docs](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/web#using-charts) for all the shortcuts.
+
+Charts also synchronize as you interact with them, even across contexts _or_ nodes.
+
+### Text cards
+
+The **Add Text** button creates a new card with user-defined text. When you create a new text card or edit an existing
+one, select/highlight characters or words to open a modal to make them **bold**, _italic_, or <ins>underlined</ins>. You
+can also create a link.
+
+### Move cards
+
+To move any card, click and hold on the top of the card, then 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.
+
+## Jump to single-node dashboards
+
+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.
+
+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 Agent
+dashboards.
+
+## Pin dashboards
+
+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, no matter how you
+organized your Spaces and War Rooms, and helps you discover root causes faster.
+
+## Manage your dashboards
+
+To see dashboards associated with the current War Room, click **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 Card** 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/invite-your-team.md) if
+you haven't already. You can add these new users to the same War Room to let them see the same dashboards without any
+effort.

+
+> ⚠️ This new version of charts is currently **only** available on Netdata Cloud. We didn't want to keep this valuable
+> feature from you, so after we get this into your hands on the Cloud, we will collect and implement your feedback.
+> Together, we will be able to provide the best possible version of charts on the Netdata Agent dashboard, as quickly as
+> possible.
+
+Netdata excels in collecting, storing, and organizing metrics in out-of-the-box dashboards.
+To make sense of all the metrics, Netdata offers an enhanced version of charts that update every second.
+
+These charts provide a lot of useful information, so that you can:
+
+- Enjoy the high-resolution, granular metrics collected by Netdata
+- Explore visualization with more options such as _line_, _stacked_ and _area_ types (other types like _bar_, _pie_ and
+  _gauges_ are to be added shortly)
+- Examine all the metrics by hovering over them with your cursor
+- Use intuitive tooling and shortcuts to pan, zoom or highlight your charts
+- On highlight, ease access
+  to [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md) to
+  see other metrics with similar patterns
+- Have the dimensions sorted based on name or value
+- View information about the chart, its plugin, context, and type
+- Get the chart status and possible errors. On top, reload functionality
+
+These charts will available
+on [Overview tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md), Single Node view and
+on your [Custom Dashboards](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/dashboards.md).
+
+## Overview
+
+Have a look at the can see the overall look and feel of the charts for both with a composite chart from
+the [Overview tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md) and a simple chart
+from the single node view:
+
+![NRve6zr325.gif](https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/5ecaf5ec-1229-480e-b122-62f63e9df227)
+
+With a quick glance you have immediate information available at your disposal:
+
+- Chart title and units
+- Action bars
+- Chart area
+- Legend with dimensions
+
+## Play, Pause and Reset
+
+Your charts are controlled using the
+available [Time controls](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/visualization-date-and-time-controls.mdx#time-controls).
+Besides these, when interacting with the chart you can also activate these controls by:
+
+- hovering over any chart to temporarily pause it - this momentarily switches time control to Pause, so that you can
+  hover over a specific timeframe. When moving out of the chart time control will go back to Play (if it was it's
+  previous state)
+- clicking on the chart to lock it - this enables the Pause option on the time controls, to the current timeframe. This
+  is if you want to jump to a different chart to look for possible correlations.
+- double clicking to release a previously locked chart - move the time control back to Play
+

+
+| Interaction       | Keyboard/mouse | Touchpad/touchscreen | Time control          |
+|:------------------|:---------------|:---------------------|:----------------------|
+| **Pause** a chart | `hover`        | `n/a`                | Temporarily **Pause** |
+| **Stop** a chart  | `click`        | `tap`                | **Pause**             |
+| **Reset** a chart | `double click` | `n/a`                | **Play**              |
+
+Note: These interactions are available when the default "Pan" action is used. Other actions are accessible via
+the [Exploration action bar](#exploration-action-bar).
+
+## Title and chart action bar
+
+When you start interacting with a chart, you'll notice valuable information on the top bar. You will see information
+from the chart title to a chart action bar.
+
+The elements that you can find on this top bar are:
+
+- Netdata icon: this indicates that data is continuously being updated, this happens
+  if [Time controls](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/visualization-date-and-time-controls.mdx#time-controls)
+  are in Play or Force Play mode
+- Chart status icon: indicates the status of the chart. Possible values are: Loading, Timeout, Error or No data
+- Chart title: on the chart title you can see the title together with the metric being displayed, as well as the unit of
+  measurement
+- Chart action bar: here you'll have access to chart info, change chart types, enables fullscreen mode, and the ability
+  to add the chart to a custom dashboard
+
+![image.png](https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/c8f5f0bd-5f84-4812-970b-0e4340f4773b)
+
+### Chart action bar
+
+On this bar you have access to immediate actions over the chart, the available actions are:
+
+- Chart info: you will be able to get more information relevant to the chart you are interacting with
+- Chart type: change the chart type from _line_, _stacked_ or _area_
+- Enter fullscreen mode: allows you expand the current chart to the full size of your screen
+- Add chart to dashboard: This allows you to add the chart to an existing custom dashboard or directly create a new one
+  that includes the chart.

+
+## Exploration action bar
+
+When exploring the chart you will see a second action bar. This action bar is there to support you on this task. The
+available actions that you can see are:
+
+- Pan
+- Highlight
+- Horizontal and Vertical zooms
+- In-context zoom in and out
+
+<img src="https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/0417ad66-fcf6-42d5-9a24-e9392ec51f87" width="40%" height="40%" />
+
+### Pan
+
+Drag your mouse/finger to the right to pan backward through time, or drag to the left to pan forward in time. Think of
+it like pushing the current timeframe off the screen to see what came before or after.
+
+| Interaction | Keyboard | Mouse          | Touchpad/touchscreen |
+|:------------|:---------|:---------------|:---------------------|
+| **Pan**     | `n/a`    | `click + drag` | `touch drag`         |
+
+### Highlight
+
+Selecting timeframes is useful when you see an interesting spike or change in a chart and want to investigate further,
+from looking at the same period of time on other charts/sections or triggering actions to help you troubleshoot with an
+in-context action bar to help you troubleshoot (currently only available on
+Single Node view). The available actions:
+
+-
+
+run [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md)
+
+- zoom in on the selected timeframe
+
+[Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md)
+will only be available if you respect the timeframe selection limitations. The selected duration pill together with the
+button state helps visualize this.
+
+<img src="https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/2ffc157d-0f0f-402e-80bb-5ffa8a2091d5" width="50%" height="50%" />
+
+<p/>
+
+| Interaction                        | Keyboard/mouse                                           | Touchpad/touchscreen |
+|:-----------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------|
+| **Highlight** a specific timeframe | `Alt + mouse selection` or `⌘ + mouse selection` (macOS) | `n/a`                |
+
+### Zoom
+
+Zooming in helps you see metrics with maximum granularity, which is useful when you're trying to diagnose the root cause
+of an anomaly or outage. Zooming out lets you see metrics within the larger context, such as the last hour, day, or
+week, which is useful in understanding what "normal" looks like, or to identify long-term trends, like a slow creep in
+memory usage.
+
+The actions above are _normal_ vertical zoom actions. We also provide an horizontal zoom action that helps you focus on
+a
+specific Y-axis area to further investigate a spike or dive on your charts.
+
+![Y5IESOjD3s.gif](https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/f8722ee8-e69b-426c-8bcb-6cb79897c177)

+|:-------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------|
+| **Zoom** in or out                         | `Shift + mouse scrollwheel`          | `two-finger pinch` <br />`Shift + two-finger scroll` |
+| **Zoom** to a specific timeframe           | `Shift + mouse vertical selection`   | `n/a`                                                |
+| **Horizontal Zoom** a specific Y-axis area | `Shift + mouse horizontal selection` | `n/a`                                                |
+
+You also have two direct action buttons on the exploration action bar for in-context `Zoom in` and `Zoom out`.
+
+## Other interactions
+
+### Order dimensions legend
+
+The bottom legend of the chart where you can see the dimensions of the chart can now be ordered by:
+
+- Dimension name (Ascending or Descending)
+- Dimension value (Ascending or Descending)
+
+<img src="https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/d3031c35-37bc-46c1-bcf9-be29dea0b476" width="50%" height="50%" />
+
+### Show and hide dimensions
+
+Hiding dimensions simplifies the chart and can help you better discover exactly which aspect of your system might be
+behaving strangely.
+
+| Interaction                            | Keyboard/mouse  | Touchpad/touchscreen |
+|:---------------------------------------|:----------------|:---------------------|
+| **Show one** dimension and hide others | `click`         | `tap`                |
+| **Toggle (show/hide)** one dimension   | `Shift + click` | `n/a`                |
+
+### Resize
+
+To resize the chart, click-and-drag the icon on the bottom-right corner of any chart. To restore the chart to its
+original height,
+double-click the same icon.
+
+![AjqnkIHB9H.gif](https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/1bcc6a0a-a58e-457b-8a0c-e5d361a3083c)
+
+## What's next?
+
+We recommend you read up on the differences
+between [chart dimensions, contexts, and families](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/dimensions-contexts-families.mdx)
+to strengthen your understanding of how Netdata organizes its dashboards. Another valuable way to interact with charts
+is to use
+the [date and time controls](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/visualization-date-and-time-controls.mdx),
+which helps you visualize specific moments of historical metrics.

+description: "Netdata Cloud features rich, zero-configuration Kubernetes monitoring for the resource utilization and application metrics of Kubernetes (k8s) clusters."
+custom_edit_url: "https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/kubernetes.md"
+sidebar_label: "Kubernetes visualizations"

+learn_rel_path: "Operations/Visualizations"
+---
+
+Netdata Cloud features enhanced visualizations for the resource utilization of Kubernetes (k8s) clusters, embedded in
+the default [Overview](/docs/cloud/visualize/overview/) dashboard.
+
+These visualizations include a health map for viewing the status of k8s pods/containers, in addition to composite charts
+for viewing per-second CPU, memory, disk, and networking metrics from k8s nodes.
+
+## Before you begin
+
+In order to use the Kubernetes visualizations in Netdata Cloud, you need:
+
+- A Kubernetes cluster running Kubernetes v1.9 or newer.
+- A Netdata deployment using the latest version of the [Helm chart](https://github.com/netdata/helmchart), which
+  installs [v1.29.2](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases) or newer of the Netdata Agent.
+- To connect your Kubernetes cluster to Netdata Cloud.
+- To enable the feature flag described below.
+
+See our [Kubernetes deployment instructions](/docs/agent/packaging/installer/methods/kubernetes/) for details on
+installation and connecting to Netdata Cloud.
+
+## Available Kubernetes metrics
+
+Netdata Cloud organizes and visualizes the following metrics from your Kubernetes cluster from every container:
+
+- `cpu_limit`: CPU utilization as a percentage of the limit defined by the [pod specification
+  `spec.containers[].resources.limits.cpu`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/#resource-requests-and-limits-of-pod-and-container)
+  or a [`LimitRange`
+  object](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/manage-resources/cpu-default-namespace/#create-a-limitrange-and-a-pod).
+- `cpu`: CPU utilization of the pod/container. 100% usage equals 1 fully-utilized core, 200% equals 2 fully-utilized
+  cores, and so on.
+- `cpu_per_core`: CPU utilization averaged across available cores.
+- `mem_usage_limit`: Memory utilization, without cache, as a percentage of the limit defined by the [pod specification
+  `spec.containers[].resources.limits.memory`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/#resource-requests-and-limits-of-pod-and-container)
+  or a [`LimitRange`
+  object](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/manage-resources/cpu-default-namespace/#create-a-limitrange-and-a-pod).
+- `mem_usage`: Used memory, without cache.
+- `mem`: The sum of `cache` and `rss` (resident set size) memory usage.
+- `writeback`: The size of `dirty` and `writeback` cache.
+- `mem_activity`: Sum of `in` and `out` bandwidth.
+- `pgfaults`: Sum of page fault bandwidth, which are raised when the Kubernetes cluster tries accessing a memory page
+  that is mapped into the virtual address space, but not actually loaded into main memory.
+- `throttle_io`: Sum of `read` and `write` per second across all PVs/PVCs attached to the container.
+- `throttle_serviced_ops`: Sum of the `read` and `write` operations per second across all PVs/PVCs attached to the
+  container.
+- `net.net`: Sum of `received` and `sent` bandwidth per second.
+- `net.packets`: Sum of `multicast`, `received`, and `sent` packets.
+
+When viewing the [health map](#health-map), Netdata Cloud shows the above metrics per container, or aggregated based on
+their associated pods.
+
+When viewing the [composite charts](#composite-charts), Netdata Cloud aggregates metrics from multiple nodes, pods, or
+containers, depending on the grouping chosen. For example, if you group the `cpu_limit` composite chart by
+`k8s_namespace`, the metrics shown will be the average of `cpu_limit` metrics from all nodes/pods/containers that are
+part of that namespace.
+
+## Health map
+
+The health map places each container or pod as a single box, then varies the intensity of its color to visualize the
+resource utilization of specific k8s pods/containers.
+
+![The Kubernetes health map in Netdata
+Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/106964367-39f54100-66ff-11eb-888c-5a04f8abb3d0.png)
+
+Change the health map's coloring, grouping, and displayed nodes to customize your experience and learn more about the
+status of your k8s cluster.
+
+### Color by
+
+Color the health map by choosing an aggregate function to apply to an [available Kubernetes
+metric](#available-kubernetes-metrics), then whether you to display boxes for individual pods or containers. 
+
+The default is the _average, of CPU within the configured limit, organized by container_.
+
+### Group by
+
+Group the health map by the `k8s_cluster_id`, `k8s_controller_kind`, `k8s_controller_name`, `k8s_kind`, `k8s_namespace`,
+and `k8s_node_name`. The default is `k8s_controller_name`.
+
+### Filtering
+
+Filtering behaves identically to the [node filter in War Rooms](/docs/cloud/war-rooms#node-filter), with the ability to
+filter pods/containers by `container_id` and `namespace`.
+
+### Detailed information
+
+Hover over any of the pods/containers in the map to display a modal window, which contains contextual information
+and real-time metrics from that resource.
+
+![The modal containing additional information about a k8s
+resource](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/106964369-3a8dd780-66ff-11eb-8a8a-a5c8f0d5711f.png)
+
+The **context** tab provides the following details about a container or pod:
+
+- Cluster ID
+- Node
+- Controller Kind
+- Controller Name
+- Pod Name
+- Container
+- Kind
+- Pod UID
+
+This information helps orient you as to where the container/pod operates inside your cluster.
+
+The **Metrics** tab contains charts visualizing the last 15 minutes of the same metrics available in the [color by
+option](#color-by). Use these metrics along with the context, to identify which containers or pods are experiencing
+problematic behavior to investigate further, troubleshoot, and remediate with `kubectl` or another tool.
+
+## Composite charts
+
+The Kubernetes composite charts show real-time and historical resource utilization metrics from nodes, pods, or
+containers within your Kubernetes deployment.
+
+See the [Overview](/docs/cloud/visualize/overview#definition-bar) doc for details on how composite charts work. These
+work similarly, but in addition to visualizing _by dimension_ and _by node_, Kubernetes composite charts can also be
+grouped by the following labels:
+
+- `k8s_cluster_id`
+- `k8s_container_id`
+- `k8s_container_name`
+- `k8s_controller_kind`
+- `k8s_kind`
+- `k8s_namespace`
+- `k8s_node_name`
+- `k8s_pod_name`
+- `k8s_pod_uid`
+

+
+In addition, when you hover over a composite chart, the colors in the heat map changes as well, so you can see how
+certain pod/container-level metrics change over time.
+
+## Caveats
+
+There are some caveats and known issues with Kubernetes monitoring with Netdata Cloud.
+
+- **No way to remove any nodes** you might have
+  [drained](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/safely-drain-node/) from your Kubernetes cluster. These
+  drained nodes will be marked "unreachable" and will show up in War Room management screens/dropdowns. The same applies
+  for any ephemeral nodes created and destroyed during horizontal scaling.
+
+## What's next?
+
+For more information about monitoring a k8s cluster with Netdata, see our guide: [_Kubernetes monitoring with Netdata: Overview and visualizations_](/guides/monitor/kubernetes-k8s-netdata/).

+
+The Nodes view lets you see and customize key metrics from any number of Agent-monitored nodes and seamlessly navigate
+to any node's dashboard for troubleshooting performance issues or anomalies using Netdata's highly-granular metrics.
+
+![The Nodes view in Netdata
+Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/119035218-2eebb700-b964-11eb-8b74-4ec2df0e457c.png)
+
+Each War Room's Nodes view is populated based on the nodes you added to that specific War Room. Each node occupies a
+single row, first featuring that node's alarm status (yellow for warnings, red for critical alarms) and operating
+system, some essential information about the node, followed by columns of user-defined key metrics represented in
+real-time charts.
+
+Use the [Overview](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md) for monitoring an infrastructure in real time using
+composite charts and Netdata's familiar dashboard UI.
+
+Check the [War Room docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md) for details on the utility bar, which contains the [node
+filter](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md#node-filter) and the [timeframe
+selector](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md#play-pause-force-play-and-timeframe-selector).
+
+## Add and customize metrics columns
+
+Add more metrics columns by clicking the gear icon. Choose the context you'd like to add, give it a relevant name, and
+select whether you want to see all dimensions (the default), or only the specific dimensions your team is interested in.
+
+Click the gear icon and hover over any existing charts, then click the pencil icon. This opens a panel to
+edit that chart. Edit the context, its title, add or remove dimensions, or delete the chart altogether.
+
+These customizations appear for anyone else with access to that War Room.
+
+## See more metrics in Netdata Cloud
+
+If you want to add more metrics to your War Rooms and they don't show up when you add new metrics to Nodes, you likely
+need to configure those nodes to collect from additional data sources. See our [collectors doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/collect/enable-configure.md) 
+to learn how to use dozens of pre-installed collectors that can instantly collect from your favorite services and applications.
+
+If you want to see up to 30 days of historical metrics in Cloud (and more on individual node dashboards), read our guide
+on [long-term storage of historical metrics](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/guides/longer-metrics-storage.md). Also, see our
+[calculator](/docs/store/change-metrics-storage#calculate-the-system-resources-RAM-disk-space-needed-to-store-metrics)

+
+## Home
+
+The Home tab provides a predefined dashboard of relevant information about entities in the War Room.
+
+This tab will
+automatically present summarized information in an easily digestible display. You can see information about your
+nodes, data collection and retention stats, alerts, users and dashboards.
+
+## Overview
+
+The Overview tab is another great way to monitor infrastructure using Netdata Cloud. While the interface might look
+similar to local
+dashboards served by an Agent Overview uses **composite charts**.
+These charts display real-time aggregated metrics from all the nodes (or a filtered selection) in a given War Room.
+
+With Overview's composite charts, you can see your infrastructure from a single pane of glass, discover trends or
+anomalies, then drill down by grouping metrics by node and jumping to single-node dashboards for root cause analysis.
+
+## Single Node view
+
+The Single Node view dashboard engine is the same as the Overview, meaning that it also uses **composite charts**, and
+displays real-time aggregated metrics from a specific node.
+
+As mentioned above, the interface is similar to local dashboards served by an Agent but this dashboard also uses *
+*composite charts** which, in the case of a single node, will aggregate
+multiple chart _instances_ belonging to a context into a single chart. For example, on `disk.io` context it will get
+into a single chart an aggregated view of each disk the node has.
+
+Further tools provided in composite chart [definiton bar](/docs/cloud/visualize/overview#definition-bar) will allow you
+to explore in more detail what is happening on each _instance_.
+
+## Before you get started
+
+Only nodes with v1.25.0-127 or later of the the [open-source Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata) monitoring
+agent can contribute to composite charts. If your node(s) use an earlier version of Netdata, you will see them marked as
+**needs upgrade** in various dropdowns.
+
+See our [update docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/UPDATE.md) for the preferred
+update method based on how you installed
+Netdata.
+
+## Composite charts
+
+The Overview uses composite charts, which aggregate metrics from all the nodes (or a filtered selection) in a given War
+Room.
+
+## Definition bar
+
+Each composite chart has a definition bar to provide information about the following:
+
+* Grouping option
+* Aggregate function to be applied in case multiple data sources exist
+* Instances
+* Nodes
+* Dimensions, and
+* Aggregate function over time to be applied if one point in the chart consists of multiple data points aggregated
+
+### Group by dimension, node, or chart
+
+Click on the **dimension** dropdown to change how a composite chart groups metrics.
+
+The default option is by _dimension_, so that each line/area in the visualization is the aggregation of a single
+dimension.
+This provides a per dimension view of the data from all the nodes in the War Room, taking into account filtering
+criteria if defined.
+
+A composite chart grouped by _node_ visualizes a single metric across contributing nodes. If the composite chart has
+five
+contributing nodes, there will be five lines/areas. This is typically an absolute value of the sum of the dimensions
+over each node but there
+are some opinionated-but-valuable exceptions where a specific dimension is selected.
+Grouping by nodes allows you to quickly understand which nodes in your infrastructure are experiencing anomalous
+behavior.
+
+A composite chart grouped by _instance_ visualizes each instance of one software or hardware on a node and displays
+these as a separate dimension. By grouping the
+`disk.io` chart by _instance_, you can visualize the activity of each disk on each node that contributes to the
+composite
+chart.
+
+Another very pertinent example is composite charts over contexts related to cgroups (VMs and containers). You have the
+means to change the default group by or apply filtering to
+get a better view into what data your are trying to analyze. For example, if you change the group by to _instance_ you
+get a view with the data of all the instances (cgroups) that
+contribute to that chart. Then you can use further filtering tools to focus the data that is important to you and even
+save the result to your own dashboards.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/82235632/201902017-04b76701-0ff9-4498-aa9b-6d507b567bea.png)
+
+### Aggregate functions over data sources
+
+Each chart uses an opinionated-but-valuable default aggregate function over the data sources. For example,
+the `system.cpu` chart shows the
+average for each dimension from every contributing chart, while the `net.net` chart shows the sum for each dimension
+from every contributing chart, which can also come from multiple networking interfaces.
+
+The following aggregate functions are available for each selected dimension:
+
+- **Average**: Displays the average value from contributing nodes. If a composite chart has 5 nodes with the following
+  values for the `out` dimension&mdash;`-2.1`, `-5.5`, `-10.2`, `-15`, `-0.1`&mdash;the composite chart displays a
+  value of `−6.58`.
+- **Sum**: Displays the sum of contributed values. Using the same nodes, dimension, and values as above, the composite
+  chart displays a metric value of `-32.9`.
+- **Min**: Displays a minimum value. For dimensions with positive values, the min is the value closest to zero. For
+  charts with negative values, the min is the value with the largest magnitude.
+- **Max**: Displays a maximum value. For dimensions with positive values, the max is the value with the largest
+  magnitude. For charts with negative values, the max is the value closet to zero.
+
+### Dimensions
+
+Select which dimensions to display on the composite chart. You can choose **All dimensions**, a single dimension, or any
+number of dimensions available on that context.
+
+### Instances
+
+Click on **X Instances** to display a dropdown of instances and nodes contributing to that composite chart. Each line in
+the
+dropdown displays an instance name and the associated node's hostname.
+
+### Nodes
+
+Click on **X Nodes** to display a dropdown of nodes contributing to that composite chart. Each line displays a hostname
+to help you identify which nodes contribute to a chart. You can also use this component to filter nodes directly on the
+chart.
+
+If one or more nodes can't contribute to a given chart, the definition bar shows a warning symbol plus the number of
+affected nodes, then lists them in the dropdown along with the associated error. Nodes might return errors because of
+networking issues, a stopped `netdata` service, or because that node does not have any metrics for that context.
+
+### Aggregate functions over time
+
+When the granularity of the data collected is higher than the plotted points on the chart an aggregation function over
+time
+is applied. By default the aggregation applied is _average_ but the user can choose different options from the
+following:
+
+* Min
+* Max
+* Average
+* Sum
+* Incremental sum (Delta)
+* Standard deviation
+* Median
+* Single exponential smoothing
+* Double exponential smoothing
+* Coefficient variation
+* Trimmed Median `*`
+* Trimmed Mean `*`
+* Percentile `**`
+
+:::info
+
+- `*` For **Trimmed Median and Mean** you can choose the percentage of data tha you want to focus on: 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%,
+  10%, 15%, 20% and 25%.
+- `**` For **Percentile** you can specify the percentile you want to focus on: 25th, 50th, 75th, 80th, 90th, 95th, 97th,
+  98th and 99th.
+
+:::
+
+For more details on each, you can refer to our Agent's HTTP API details
+on [Data Queries - Data Grouping](/docs/agent/web/api/queries#data-grouping).
+
+### Reset to defaults
+
+Click on the 3-dot icon (**⋮**) on any chart, then **Reset to Defaults**, to reset the definition bar to its initial
+state.
+
+## Jump to single-node dashboards
+
+Click on **X Charts**/**X Nodes** to display one of the two dropdowns that list the charts and nodes contributing to a
+given composite chart. For example, the nodes dropdown.
+
+![The nodes dropdown in a composite
+chart](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/99305049-7c019b80-2810-11eb-942a-8ebfcf236b7f.png)
+
+To jump to a single-node dashboard, click on the link icon <img class="img__inline img__inline--link"
+src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/95762109-1d219300-0c62-11eb-8daa-9ba509a8e71c.png" /> next to the
+node you're interested in.
+
+The single-node dashboard opens in a new tab. From there, you can continue to troubleshoot or run [Metric
+Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md) for faster root
+cause analysis.
+
+## Add composite charts to a dashboard
+
+Click on the 3-dot icon (**⋮**) on any chart, then click on **Add to Dashboard**. Click the **+** button for any
+dashboard you'd like to add this composite chart to, or create a new dashboard an initiate it with your chosen chart by
+entering the name and clicking **New Dashboard**.
+
+## Interacting with composite charts: pan, zoom, and resize
+
+You can interact with composite charts as you would with other Netdata charts. You can use the controls beneath each
+chart to pan, zoom, or resize the chart, or use various combinations of the keyboard and mouse. See
+the [chart interaction doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx) for
+details.
+
+## Menu
+
+The Overview uses a similar menu to local Agent dashboards and single-node dashboards in Netdata Cloud, with sections
+and sub-menus aggregated from every contributing node. For example, even if only two nodes actively collect from and
+monitor an Apache web server, the **Apache** section still appears and displays composite charts from those two nodes.
+
+![A menu in the Overview
+screen](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/95785094-fa0ad980-0c89-11eb-8328-2ff11ac630b4.png)
+
+One difference between the Overview's menu and those found in single-node dashboards or local Agent dashboards is that
+the Overview condenses multiple services, families, or instances into single sections, sub-menus, and associated charts.
+
+For services, let's say you have two concurrent jobs with the [web_log
+collector](https://github.com/netdata/go.d.plugin/blob/master/modules/weblog/README.md), one for Apache and another for
+Nginx. A single-node or
+local dashboard shows two section, **web_log apache** and **web_log nginx**, whereas the Overview condenses these into a
+single **web_log** section containing composite charts from both jobs.
+
+The Overview also consdenses multiple families or multiple instances into a single **all** sub-menu and associated
+charts. For example, if Node A has 5 disks, and Node B has 3, each disk contributes to a single `disk.io` composite
+chart. The utility bar should show that there are 8 charts from 2 nodes contributing to that chart.
+
+This action applies to disks, network devices, and other metric types that involve multiple instances of a piece of
+hardware or software. The Overview currently does not display metrics from filesystems. Read more about [families and
+instances](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/dimensions-contexts-families.mdx)
+
+## Persistence of composite chart settings
+
+When you change a composite chart via its definition bar, Netdata Cloud persists these settings in a query string
+attached to the URL in your browser. You can "save" these settings by bookmarking this particular URL, or share it with
+colleagues by having them copy-paste it into their browser.
