You can see information about your -nodes, data collection and retention stats, alerts, users and dashboards. - -## Overview and single node tab - -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. - -When you [interact with composite charts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md) -you can see your infrastructure from a single pane of glass, discover trends or anomalies, and perform root cause analysis. - -The Single Node tab dashboard is exactly the same as the Overview, but with a hard-coded filter to only show a single node. - -### Chart navigation Menu - -Netdata Cloud uses a similar menu to local Agent dashboards, 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. - - - -One difference between the Netdata Cloud menu and those found in 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/netdata/blob/master/src/go/collectors/go.d.plugin/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 Cloud also condenses 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. -The aggregation applies to disks, network devices, and other metric types that involve multiple instances of a piece of hardware or software. - -## Persistence of composite chart settings - -Of course you can [change the filtering or grouping](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md) of metrics in the composite charts that aggregate all these instances, to see only the information you are interested in, and save that tab in a custom dashboard. - -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. |
