-# Use the Agent with Netdata Cloud
-
-While the Netdata Agent is an enormously powerful _distributed_ health monitoring and performance troubleshooting tool,
-many of its users need to monitor dozens or hundreds of systems at the same time. That's why we built Netdata Cloud, a
-hosted web interface that gives you real-time visibility into your entire infrastructure.
-
-There are two main ways to use your Agent(s) with Netdata Cloud. You can use both these methods simultaneously, or just
-one, based on your needs:
-
-- Use Netdata Cloud's web interface for monitoring an entire infrastructure, with any number of Agents, in one
- centralized dashboard.
-- Use **Visited nodes** to quickly navigate between the dashboards of nodes you've recently visited.
-
-## Monitor an infrastructure with Netdata Cloud
-
-We designed Netdata Cloud to help you see health and performance metrics, plus active alarms, in a single interface.
-Here's what a small infrastructure might look like:

-
-[Read more about Netdata Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx) to better
-understand how it gives you real-time
-visibility into your entire infrastructure, and why you might consider using it.
-
-Next, [get started in 5 minutes](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/get-started.mdx), or read our
-[connection to Cloud reference](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) for a complete
-investigation of Cloud's security and encryption features, plus instructions for Docker containers.
-
-## Navigate between dashboards with Visited nodes
-
-If you don't want to use Netdata Cloud's web interface, you can still connect multiple nodes through the **Visited
-nodes** menu, which appears on the left-hand side of the dashboard.
-
-You can use the Visited nodes menu to navigate between the dashboards of many different Agent-monitored systems quickly.
-
-To add nodes to your Visited nodes menu, you first need to navigate to that node's dashboard, then click the **Sign in**
-button at the top of the dashboard. On the screen that appears, which states your node is requesting access to your
-Netdata Cloud account, sign in with your preferred method.
-
-Cloud redirects you back to your node's dashboard, which is now connected to your Netdata Cloud account. You can now see
-the Visited nodes menu, which is populated by a single node.

-
-If you previously went through the Cloud onboarding process to create a Space and War Room, you will also see these in
-the Visited Nodes menu. You can click on your Space or any of your War Rooms to navigate to Netdata Cloud and continue
-monitoring your infrastructure from there.

-
-To add more Agents to your Visited nodes menu, visit them and sign in again. This process connects that node to your
-Cloud account and further populates the menu.
-
-Once you've added more than one node, you can use the menu to switch between various dashboards without remembering IP
-addresses or hostnames or saving bookmarks for every node you want to monitor.

-## What's next?
-
-The Agent-Cloud integration is highly adaptable to the needs of any infrastructure or user. If you want to learn more
-about how you might want to use or configure Cloud, we recommend the following:
-
-- Get an overview of Cloud's features by
- reading [Cloud documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx).
-- Follow the
- 5-minute [get started with Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx)
- guide to finish
- onboarding and connect your first nodes.
-- Better understand how agents connect securely to the Cloud
- with [connect agent to Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) and
- [Agent-Cloud link](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/aclk/README.md) documentation.
