-# Step 3. Monitor more than one system with Netdata
-
-The Netdata agent is _distributed_ by design. That means each agent operates independently from any other, collecting
-and creating charts only for the system you installed it on. We made this decision a long time ago to [improve security
-and performance](step-01.md).
-
-You might be thinking, "So, now I have to remember all these IP addresses, and type them into my browser
-manually, to move from one system to another? Maybe I should just make a bunch of bookmarks. What's a few more tabs
-on top of the hundred I have already?"
-
-We get it. That's why we built [Netdata Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx), which connects many distributed
-agents for a seamless experience when monitoring an entire infrastructure of Netdata-monitored nodes.

-## What you'll learn in this step

-In this step of the Netdata guide, we'll talk about the following:

- - [What you'll learn in this step](#what-youll-learn-in-this-step)

- - [What's next?](#whats-next)
-
-## Why use Netdata Cloud?
-
-Our [Cloud documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx) does a good job (we think!) of explaining why Cloud
-gives you a ton of value at no cost:
-
-> Netdata Cloud gives you real-time visibility for your entire infrastructure. With Netdata Cloud, you can run all your
-> distributed Agents in headless mode _and_ access the real-time metrics and insightful charts from their dashboards.
-> View key metrics and active alarms at-a-glance, and then seamlessly dive into any of your distributed dashboards
-> without leaving Cloud's centralized interface.
-
-You can add as many nodes and team members as you need, and as our free and open source Agent gets better with more
-features, new collectors for more applications, and improved UI, so will Cloud.
-
-## Get started with Netdata Cloud
-
-Signing in, onboarding, and connecting your first nodes only takes a few minutes, and we have a [Get started with
-Cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/cloud.mdx) guide to help you walk through every step.
-
-Or, if you're feeling confident, dive right in.
-
-<p><a href="https://app.netdata.cloud" className="button button--lg">Sign in to Cloud</a></p>
-
-When you finish that guide, circle back to this step in the guide to learn how to use the Visited Nodes feature on
-top of Cloud's centralized web interface.
-
-## Navigate between dashboards with Visited Nodes
-
-To add nodes to your visited nodes, 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 menu populated by a single visited node.

-
-If you previously went through the Cloud onboarding process to create a Space and War Room, you will also see these
-alongside your visited nodes. 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 other visited nodes, navigate to their dashboard and sign in to Cloud by clicking on the **Sign in** button. 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?
-
-Now that you have a Netdata Cloud account with a connected node (or a few!) and can navigate between your dashboards with
-Visited nodes, it's time to learn more about how you can configure Netdata to your liking. From there, you'll be able to
-customize your Netdata experience to your exact infrastructure and the information you need.
