+ - Bearer - the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a **bearer token**. This setting will be a required input.
+
+#### Webhook service
+
+A webhook integration allows your application to receive real-time alerts from Netdata by sending HTTP requests to a specified URL. In this document, we'll go over the steps to set up a generic webhook integration, including adding headers, and implementing different types of authorization mechanisms.
+
+##### Netdata webhook integration
+
+A webhook integration is a way for one service to notify another service about events that occur within it. This is done by sending an HTTP POST request to a specified URL (known as the "webhook URL") when an event occurs.
+
+Netdata webhook integration service will send alert notifications to the destination service as soon as they are detected.
+
+The notification content sent to the destination service will be a JSON object having these properties:
+
+| field | type | description |
+| :-- | :-- | :-- |
+| message | string | A summary message of the alert. |
+| alarm | string | The alarm the notification is about. |
+| info | string | Additional info related with the alert. |
+| chart | string | The chart associated with the alert. |
+| context | string | The chart context. |
+| space | string | The space where the node that raised the alert is assigned. |
+| family | string | Context family. |
+| class | string | Classification of the alert, e.g. "Error". |
+| severity | string | Alert severity, can be one of "warning", "critical" or "clear". |
+| date | string | Date of the alert in ISO8601 format. |
+| duration | string | Duration the alert has been raised. |
+| critical_count | integer | umber of critical alerts currently existing on the same node. |
+| warning_count | integer | Number of warning alerts currently existing on the same node. |
+| alarm_url | string | Netdata Cloud URL for this alarm. |
+
+##### Extra headers
+
+When setting up a webhook integration, the user can specify a set of headers to be included in the HTTP requests sent to the webhook URL.
+
+By default, the following headers will be sent in the HTTP request
+
+| **Header** | **Value** |
+|:-------------------------------:|-----------------------------|
+| Content-Type | application/json |
+
+##### Authorization mechanism
+
+Netdata webhook integration supports 3 different authorization mechanisms:
+
+1. Mutual TLS (recommended)
+
+In mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) authorization, the client and the server authenticate each other using X.509 certificates. This ensures that the client is connecting to the intended server, and that the server is only accepting connections from authorized clients.
+
+To take advantage of mutual TLS, you can configure your server to verify Netdata's client certificate. To do that you need to download our [CA certificate file](http://localhost) and configure your server to use it as the
+
+This is the default authentication mechanism used if no other method is selected.
+
+2. Basic
+
+In basic authorization, the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a base64-encoded string in the format username:password. The server then uses this information to authenticate the client. If this authentication method is selected, the user can set the user and password that will be used when connecting to the destination service.
+
+3. Bearer
+
+In bearer token authorization, the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a bearer token. The server then uses this token to authenticate the client. Bearer tokens are typically generated by an authentication service, and are passed to the client after a successful authentication. If this method is selected, the user can set the token to be used for connecting to the destination service.

+| :- | :-: | :-: |
+| Enable / Disable | X | X |
+| Edit | | X | |
+| Delete | X | X |
+| Add multiple configurations for same method | | X |
+
+Notes:
+* For Netadata provided ones you can't delete the existing notification method configuration.
+* Enable, Edit and Add actions over specific notification methods will only be allowed if your plan has access to those ([service classification](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.mdx#service-classification))

+Netdata Cloud can send centralized alert notifications to your team whenever a node enters a warning, critical, or
+unreachable state. By enabling notifications, you ensure no alert, on any node in your infrastructure, goes unnoticed by
+you or your team.
+
+Having this information centralized helps you:
+* Have a clear view of the health across your infrastructure, [seeing all a alerts in one place](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/view-active-alerts.mdx)
+* Easily [setup your alert notification process](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md):
+methods to use and where to use them, filtering rules, etc.
+* Quickly troubleshoot using [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metrics-correlations.md)
+or [Anomaly Advisor](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/anomaly-advisor.mdx)
+
+If a node is getting disconnected often or has many alerts, we protect you and your team from alert fatigue by sending
+you a flood protection notification. Getting one of these notifications is a good signal of health or performance issues
+on that node.

+Space can then personalize their notifications settings from within their [account
+menu](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/#manage-user-notification-settings).
+
+<Callout type="notice">
+
+Centralized alert notifications from Netdata Cloud is a independent process from [notifications from
+Netdata](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md). You can enable one or the other, or both, based on your needs. However,
+the alerts you see in Netdata Cloud are based on those streamed from your Netdata-monitoring nodes. If you want to tweak
+or add new alert that you see in Netdata Cloud, and receive via centralized alert notifications, you must
+[configure](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) each node's alert watchdog.
+
+</Callout>
+
+### Alert notifications
+
+Netdata Cloud can send centralized alert notifications to your team whenever a node enters a warning, critical, or unreachable state. By enabling notifications,
+you ensure no alert, on any node in your infrastructure, goes unnoticed by you or your team.
+
+If a node is getting disconnected often or has many alerts, we protect you and your team from alert fatigue by sending you a flood protection notification.
+Getting one of these notifications is a good signal of health or performance issues on that node.
+
+Alert notifications can be delivered through different methods, these can go from an Email sent from Netdata to the use of a 3rd party tool like PagerDuty.
+
+Notification methods are classified on two main attributes:
+* Service level: Personal or System
+* Service classification: Community or Business
+
+Only administrators are able to manage the space's alert notification settings.
+All users in a Space can personalize their notifications settings, for Personal service level notification methods, from within their profile menu.
+
+> ⚠️ Netdata Cloud supports different notification methods and their availability will depend on the plan you are at.
+> For more details check [Service classification](#service-classification) or [netdata.cloud/pricing](https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing).
+
+#### Service level
+
+##### Personal
+
+The notifications methods classified as **Personal** are what we consider generic, meaning that these can't have specific rules for them set by the administrators.
+
+These notifications are sent to the destination of the channel which is a user-specific attribute, e.g. user's e-mail, and the users are the ones that will then be able to
+manage what specific configurations they want for the Space / Room(s) and the desired Notification level, they can achieve this from their User Profile page under
+**Notifications**.
+
+One example of such a notification method is the E-mail.
+
+##### System
+
+For **System** notification methods, the destination of the channel will be a target that usually isn't specific to a single user, e.g. slack channel.
+
+These notification methods allow for fine-grain rule settings to be done by administrators and more than one configuration can exist for them since. You can specify
+different targets depending on Rooms or Notification level settings.
+
+Some examples of such notification methods are: Webhook, PagerDuty, slack.
+
+#### Service classification
+
+##### Community
+
+Notification methods classified as Community can be used by everyone independent on the plan your space is at.
+These are: Email and discord
+
+##### Pro
+
+Notification methods classified as Pro are only available for **Pro** and **Business** plans
+These are: webhook
+
+##### Business
+
+Notification methods classified as Business are only available for **Business** plans
+These are: PagerDuty, slack
+
+## Flood protection
+
+If a node has too many state changes like firing too many alerts or going from reachable to unreachable, Netdata Cloud
+enables flood protection. As long as a node is in flood protection mode, Netdata Cloud does not send notifications about
+this node. Even with flood protection active, it is possible to access the node directly, either via Netdata Cloud or
+the local Agent dashboard at `http://NODE:19999`.
+
+## Anatomy of an alert notification
+
+Email alarm notifications show the following information:
+
+- The Space's name
+- The node's name
+- Alarm status: critical, warning, cleared
+- Previous alarm status
+- Time at which the alarm triggered
+- Chart context that triggered the alarm
+- Name and information about the triggered alarm
+- Alarm value
+- Total number of warning and critical alerts on that node
+- Threshold for triggering the given alarm state
+- Calculation or database lookups that Netdata uses to compute the value
+- Source of the alarm, including which file you can edit to configure this alarm on an individual node
+
+Email notifications also feature a **Go to Node** button, which takes you directly to the offending chart for that node
+within Cloud's embedded dashboards.
+
+Here's an example email notification for the `ram_available` chart, which is in a critical state:
+
+![Screenshot of an alarm notification email from Netdata Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/87461878-e933c480-c5c3-11ea-870b-affdb0801854.png)
+
+## What's next?
+
+Netdata Cloud's alarm notifications feature leverages the alarms configuration on each node in your infrastructure. If
+you'd like to tweak any of these alarms, or even add new ones based on your needs, read our [health
+quickstart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md).
+
+You can also [view active alarms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/view-active-alerts.mdx) in Netdata Cloud for an instant
+visualization of the health of your infrastructure.

+The Alerts view gives you a high level of availability and performance information for every node you're
+monitoring with Netdata Cloud. We expect it to become the "home base" for many Netdata Cloud users who want to instantly
+understand what's going on with their infrastructure and exactly where issues might be.
+
+The Alerts view is available entirely for free to all users and for any number of nodes.
+
+## Alerts table and filtering
+
+The Alerts view shows all active alerts in your War Room, including the alert's name, the most recent value, a
+timestamp of when it became active, and the relevant node.
+
+You can use the checkboxes in the filter pane on the right side of the screen to filter the alerts displayed in the
+table
+by Status, Class, Type & Componenet, Role, Operating System, or Node.
+
+Click on any of the alert names to see the alert.
+
+## View active alerts
+
+In the `Active` subtab, you can see exactly how many **critical** and **warning** alerts are active across your nodes.
+
+## View configured alerts
+
+You can view all the configured alerts on all the agents that belong to a War Room in the `Alert Configurations` subtab.
+From within the Alerts view, you can click the `Alert Configurations` subtab to see a high level view of the states of
+the alerts on the nodes within this War Room and drill down to the node level where each alert is configured with their
+latest status.

+Netdata Cloud receives information about active alerts on individual nodes in your infrastructure and updates the
+interface based on those status changes.
+
+Netdata Cloud doesn't produce alerts itself but rather receives and aggregates alerts from each node in your
+infrastructure based on their configuration. Every node comes with hundreds of pre-configured alerts that have been
+tested by Netdata's community of DevOps engineers and SREs, but you may want to customize existing alerts or create new
+ones entirely.
+
+Read our doc on [health alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) to
+learn how to tweak existing alerts or create new
+health entities based on the specific needs of your infrastructure. By taking charge of alert configuration, you'll
+ensure Netdata Cloud always delivers the most relevant alerts about the well-being of your nodes.
+
+## View all active alerts
+
+The [Alerts Smartboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx)
+provides a high-level interface for viewing the number of critical or warning alerts and where they are in your
+infrastructure.
+
+![The Alerts Smartboard](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/119025635-2fcb1b80-b959-11eb-9fdb-7f1a082f43c5.png)
+
+Click on the **Alerts** tab in any War Room to open the Smartboard. Alternatively, click on any of the alert badges in
+the [Nodes view](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/nodes.md) to jump to the Alerts
+Smartboard.
+
+From here, filter active alerts using the **critical** or **warning** boxes, or hover over a box in
+the [nodes map](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx#nodes-map)
+to see a
+popup node-specific alert information.
+
+## View alerts in context with charts
+
+If you click on any of the alerts, either in a nodes map popup or the alerts table, Netdata Cloud navigates you to the
+single-node dashboard and scrolls to the relevant chart. Netdata Cloud also draws a highlight and the value at the
+moment your node triggered this alert.
+
+![An alert in context with charts and dimensions](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/119039593-4a0cf580-b969-11eb-840c-4ecb123df9f5.png)
+
+You can
+then [select this area](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx#select)
+with `Alt/⌘ + mouse selection` to highlight the alerted timeframe while you explore other charts for root cause
+analysis.
+
+Or, select the area and
+run [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md) to
+filter the single-node
+dashboard to only those charts most likely to be connected to the alert.

+---
+
+To enhance the stability and reliability of Netdata Cloud, we did extensive work on our backend, and we would like to give you the opportunity
+to be among the first users to try these changes to our Cloud architecture and provide feedback.
+
+The backend architecture changes should offer notable improvements in reliability and stability in Netdata Cloud,
+but more importantly, it allows us to develop new features and enhanced functionality, including features and enhancements
+that you have specifically requested. Features that will be developed on the new architecture include:
+
+- Parent/Child Cloud relationships
+- Alert logs
+- Alert management
+- Much more
+
+## Enabling the new architecture
+
+To enable the new architecture, first ensure that you have installed the latest Netdata version following
+[our guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/get-started.mdx). Then, you or your administrator will need to retrieve the Space IDs
+within Netdata Cloud by clicking `Manage Space` in the left pane, selecting the `Space` tab, and copying the value in the `Space Id` field.
+You can then send an email to [beta@Netdata.cloud](mailto:beta@netdata.cloud) requesting to be included in our beta testers, and include
+in the body of the email a list of Space IDs for any space you would like to have whitelisted for the update. If you received an email
+invitation, you can also just reply to the invitation with your Space IDs in the body of the reply.
+
+Feel free to send the Space IDs for multiple spaces to test the new infrastructure on each of them.
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+After you are set up with the new architecture changes, we ask that you report any issues you encounter in our
+[designated Discord channel](https://discord.gg/dGzdemHwHh). This feedback
+will help us ensure the highest performance of the new architecture and expedite the development and release
+of the aforementioned enhancements and features.

+
+Open a new terminal and navigate to the netdata.conf file. Use the edit-config script to make changes: `sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf`
+
+The most popular settings to change are:
+
+#### Increase metrics retention (4GiB)
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+
+```
+[global]
+ dbengine multihost disk space = 4096
+```
+
+#### Reduce the collection frequency (every 5 seconds)
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+
+```
+[global]
+ update every = 5
+```
+
+#### Enable/disable plugins (groups of collectors)
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
+
+```
+[plugins]
+ go.d = yes # enabled
+ node.d = no # disabled
+```
+
+#### Enable/disable specific collectors
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config go.d.conf
+```
+
+> `Or python.d.conf, node.d.conf, edbpf.conf, and so on`.
+
+```
+modules:
+ activemq: no # disabled
+ bind: no # disabled
+ cockroachdb: yes # enabled
+```
+
+#### Edit a collector's config (example)
+
+```
+$ sudo ./edit-config go.d/mysql.conf
+$ sudo ./edit-config ebpf.conf
+$ sudo ./edit-config python.d/anomalies.conf
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+#### The Netdata config directory: `/etc/netdata`
+
+> If you don't have such a directory:
+> 📄 [Find your netdata.conf file](https://learn.netdata.cloud/guides/step-by-step/step-04#find-your-netdataconf-file)
+> The cheatsheet assumes you’re running all commands from within the Netdata config directory!
+
+#### Edit Netdata's main config file: `$ sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf`
+

+```
+sudo touch health.d/example-alarm.conf
+sudo ./edit-config health.d/example-alarm.conf
+```
+
+#### Configure a specific alarm
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config health.d/example-alarm.conf
+```
+
+#### Silence a specific alarm
+
+```
+sudo ./edit-config health.d/example-alarm.conf
+ to: silent
+```
+
+#### Disable alarms and notifications
+
+```
+[health]
+ enabled = no
+```
+
+> After any change, reload the Netdata health configuration
+
+```
+netdatacli reload-health
+```
+
+or if that command doesn't work on your installation, use:
+
+```
+killall -USR2 netdata

+
+```
+[web]
+default port = 39999
+```
+
+#### Opt out from anonymous statistics
+
+```
+sudo touch .opt-out-from-anonymous-statistics
+```
+
+## Understanding the dashboard
+
+**Charts**: A visualization displaying one or more collected/calculated metrics in a time series. Charts are generated
+by collectors.
+
+**Dimensions**: Any value shown on a chart, which can be raw or calculated values, such as percentages, averages,
+minimums, maximums, and more.
+
+**Families**: One instance of a monitored hardware or software resource that needs to be monitored and displayed
+separately from similar instances. Example, disks named
+**sda**, **sdb**, **sdc**, and so on.
+
+**Contexts**: A grouping of charts based on the types of metrics collected and visualized.
+**disk.io**, **disk.ops**, and **disk.backlog** are all contexts.

+
+[Data privacy](https://netdata.cloud/privacy/) is very important to us. We firmly believe that your data belongs to
+you. This is why **we don't store any metric data in Netdata Cloud**.
+
+Your local installations of the Netdata Agent form the basis for the Netdata Cloud. All the data that you see in the web browser when using Netdata Cloud, is actually streamed directly from the Netdata Agent to the Netdata Cloud dashboard.
+The data passes through our systems, but it isn't stored. You can learn more about [the Agent's security design](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-security.md) in the Agent documentation.
+
+However, to be able to offer the stunning visualizations and advanced functionality of Netdata Cloud, it does store a limited number of _metadata_.
+
+## Metadata
+
+Let's look at the metadata Netdata Cloud stores using the publicly available demo server `frankfurt.my-netdata.io`:
+
+- The email address you used to sign up/or sign in
+- For each node connected to your Spaces in Netdata Cloud:
+ - Hostname (as it appears in Netdata Cloud)
+ - Information shown in `/api/v1/info`. For example: [https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/info](https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/info).
+ - The chart metadata shown in `/api/v1/charts`. For example: [https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/info](https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/info).
+ - Alarm configurations shown in `/api/v1/alarms?all`. For example: [https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/alarms?all](https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/alarms?all).
+ - Active alarms shown in `/api/v1/alarms`. For example: [https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/alarms](https://frankfurt.my-netdata.io/api/v1/alarms).
+
+How we use them:
+
+- The data is stored in our production database on AWS. Some of it is also used in Google BigQuery, our data lake, for analytics purposes. These analytics are crucial for our product development process.
+- Email is used to identify users in regards to product use and to enrich our tools with product use, such as our CRM.
+- This data is only available to Netdata and never to a 3rd party.
+
+## Delete all personal data
+
+To remove all personal info we have about you (email and activities) you need to delete your cloud account by logging into https://app.netdata.cloud and accessing your profile, at the bottom left of your screen.

+
+Ready to get real-time visibility into your entire infrastructure with Netdata Cloud? This guide will walk you through
+the onboarding process, such as setting up your Space and War Room and connecting your first nodes.
+
+## Before you start
+
+Before you get started with Netdata Cloud, you should have the open-source Netdata monitoring agent installed. See our
+[installation guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/get-started.mdx) for details.
+
+If you already have the Netdata agent running on your node(s), make sure to update it to v1.32 or higher. Read the
+[updating documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/UPDATE.md) for information
+on how to update based on the method you used to install Netdata on that node.
+
+## Begin the onboarding process
+
+Get started by signing in to Netdata. Read
+the [sign in](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/sign-in.mdx) doc for details on the
+authentication methods we use.
+
+<Link to="https://app.netdata.cloud" className="group">
+ <button className="relative text-text bg-gray-200 px-4 py-2 rounded">
+ <span className="z-10 relative font-semibold group-hover:text-gray-100">Sign in to Netdata</span>
+ <div className="opacity-0 group-hover:opacity-100 transition absolute z-0 inset-0 bg-gradient-to-r from-green to-green-lighter rounded"></div>
+ </button>
+</Link>
+
+Once signed in with your preferred method, a
+General [War Room](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md) and
+a [Space](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/spaces.md)
+named for your login email are automatically created. You can configure more Spaces and War Rooms to help you you
+organize your team
+and the many systems that make up your infrastructure. For example, you can put product and infrastructure SRE teams in
+separate
+Spaces, and then use War Rooms to group nodes by their service (`nginx`), purpose (`webservers`), or physical
+location (`IAD`).
+
+Don't worry! You can always add more Spaces and War Rooms later if you decide to reorganize how you use Netdata Cloud.
+
+## Connect your nodes
+
+From within the created War Rooms, Netdata Cloud prompts you
+to [connect](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) your nodes to Netdata Cloud. Non-admin
+users can users can select from existing nodes already connected to the space or select an admin from a provided list to
+connect node.
+You can connect any node running Netdata, whether it's a physical or virtual machine, a Docker container, IoT device,
+and more.
+
+The connection process securely connects any node to Netdata Cloud using
+the [Agent-Cloud link](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/aclk/README.md). By
+connecting a node, you prove you have write and administrative access to that node. Connecting to Cloud also prevents
+any third party
+from connecting a node that you control. Keep in mind:
+
+- _You can only connect any given node in a single Space_. You can, however, add that connected node to multiple War
+ Rooms
+ within that one Space.
+- You must repeat the connection process on every node you want to add to Netdata Cloud.
+
+<Callout type="notice">
+
+**Netdata Cloud ensures your data privacy by not storing metrics data from your nodes**. See our statement on Netdata
+Cloud [data privacy](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/aclk/README.md/#data-privacy) for details on the
+data that's streamed from your nodes and the
+[connecting to cloud](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) doc for details about why we
+implemented the connection process and the encryption methods we use to secure your data in transit.
+
+</Callout>
+
+To connect a node, select which War Rooms you want to add this node to with the dropdown, then copy the script given by
+Netdata Cloud into your node's terminal.
+
+Hit **Enter**. The script should return `Agent was successfully claimed.`. If the claiming script returns errors, or if
+you don't see the node in your Space after 60 seconds, see
+the [troubleshooting information](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#troubleshooting).
+
+Repeat this process with every node you want to add to Netdata Cloud during onboarding. You can also add more nodes once
+you've finished onboarding by clicking the **Connect Nodes** button in
+the [Space management area](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/spaces.md/#manage-spaces).
+
+### Alternatives and other operating systems
+
+**Docker**: You can execute the claiming script Netdata running as a Docker container, or attach the claiming script
+when creating the container for the first time, such as when you're spinning up ephemeral containers. See
+the [connect an agent running in Docker](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#connect-an-agent-running-in-docker)
+documentation for details.
+
+**Without root privileges**: If you want to connect an agent without using root privileges, see our [connect
+documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#connect-an-agent-without-root-privileges).
+
+**With a proxy**: If your node uses a proxy to connect to the internet, you need to configure the node's proxy settings.
+See
+our [connect through a proxy](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md#connect-through-a-proxy)
+doc for details.
+
+## Add bookmarks to essential resources
+
+When an anomaly or outage strikes, your team needs to access other essential resources quickly. You can use Netdata
+Cloud's bookmarks to put these tools in one accessible place. Bookmarks are shared between all War Rooms in a Space, so
+any users in your Space will be able to see and use them.
+
+Bookmarks can link to both internal and external resources. You can bookmark your app's status page for quick updates
+during an outage, a messaging system on your organization's intranet, or other tools your team uses to respond to
+changes in your infrastructure.
+
+To add a new bookmark, click on the **Add bookmark** link. In the panel, name the bookmark, include its URL, and write a
+short description for your team's reference.
+
+## What's next?
+
+You finish onboarding
+by [inviting members of your team](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/invite-your-team.md)
+to your Space. You
+can also invite them later. At this point, you're ready to use Cloud.
+
+Next, learn about the organization and interfaces
+behind [Spaces](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/spaces.md)
+and [War
+Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md).
+
+If you're ready to explore, check out how to use
+the [Overview dashboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md), which is the
+default view for each new War Room you create.

+The Anomaly Advisor feature lets you quickly surface potentially anomalous metrics and charts related to a particular highlight window of
+interest.
+
+<ReactPlayer playing true controls true url='https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/24860547/165943403-1acb9759-7446-4704-8955-c566d04ad7ab.mp4' />
+
+## Getting Started
+
+If you are running a Netdata version higher than `v1.35.0-29-nightly` you will be able to use the Anomaly Advisor out of the box with zero configuration. If you are on an earlier Netdata version you will need to first enable ML on your nodes by following the steps below.
+
+To enable the Anomaly Advisor you must first enable ML on your nodes via a small config change in `netdata.conf`. Once the anomaly detection models have trained on the Agent (with default settings this takes a couple of hours until enough data has been seen to train the models) you will then be able to enable the Anomaly Advisor feature in Netdata Cloud.
+
+### Enable ML on Netdata Agent
+
+To enable ML on your Netdata Agent, you need to edit the `[ml]` section in your `netdata.conf` to look something like the following example.
+
+```bash
+[ml]
+ enabled = yes
+```
+
+At a minimum you just need to set `enabled = yes` to enable ML with default params. More details about configuration can be found in the [Netdata Agent ML docs](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/ml#configuration).
+
+**Note**: Follow [this guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/guides/step-by-step/step-04.md) if you are unfamiliar with making configuration changes in Netdata.
+
+When you have finished your configuration, restart Netdata with a command like `sudo systemctl restart netdata` for the config changes to take effect. You can find more info on restarting Netdata [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md).
+
+After a brief delay, you should see the number of `trained` dimensions start to increase on the "dimensions" chart of the "Anomaly Detection" menu on the Overview page. By default the `minimum num samples to train = 3600` parameter means at least 1 hour of data is required to train initial models, but you could set this to `900` if you want to train initial models quicker but on less data. Over time, they will retrain on up to `maximum num samples to train = 14400` (4 hours by default), but you could increase this is you wanted to train on more data.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/166474099-ba6f5ebe-12b2-4ef2-af9f-e84a05349791.png)
+
+Once this line flattens out all configured metrics should have models trained and predicting anomaly scores each second, ready to be used by the new "anomalies" tab of the Anomaly Advisor.
+
+## Using Anomaly Advisor
+
+To use the Anomaly Advisor, go to the "anomalies" tab. Once you highlight a particular timeframe of interest, a selection of the most anomalous dimensions will appear below.
+
+The aim here is to surface the most anomalous metrics in the space or room for the highlighted window to try and cut down on the amount of manual searching required to get to the root cause of your issues.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/164427337-a40820d2-8d36-4a94-8dfb-cfd3194941e0.png)
+
+The "Anomaly Rate" chart shows the percentage of anomalous metrics over time per node. For example, in the following image, 3.21% of the metrics on the "ml-demo-ml-disabled" node were considered anomalous. This elevated anomaly rate could be a sign of something worth investigating.
+
+**Note**: in this example the anomaly rates for this node are actually being calculated on the parent it streams to, you can run ml on the Agent itselt or on a parent the Agent stream to. Read more about the various configuration options in the [Agent docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/ml/README.md).
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/164428307-6a86989a-611d-47f8-a673-911d509cd954.png)
+
+The "Count of Anomalous Metrics" chart (collapsed by default) shows raw counts of anomalous metrics per node so may often be similar to the anomaly rate chart, apart from where nodes may have different numbers of metrics.
+
+The "Anomaly Events Detected" chart (collapsed by default) shows if the anomaly rate per node was sufficiently elevated to trigger a node level anomaly. Anomaly events will appear slightly after the anomaly rate starts to increase in the timeline, this is because a significant number of metrics in the node need to be anomalous before an anomaly event is triggered.
+
+Once you have highlighted a window of interest, you should see an ordered list of anomaly rate sparklines in the "Anomalous metrics" section like below.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/164427592-ab1d0eb1-57e2-4a05-aaeb-da4437a019b1.png)
+
+You can expand any sparkline chart to see the underlying raw data to see how it relates to the corresponding anomaly rate.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/164430105-f747d1e0-f3cb-4495-a5f7-b7bbb71039ae.png)
+
+On the upper right hand side of the page you can select which nodes to filter on if you wish to do so. The ML training status of each node is also displayed.
+
+On the lower right hand side of the page an index of anomaly rates is displayed for the highlighted timeline of interest. The index is sorted from most anomalous metric (highest anomaly rate) to least (lowest anomaly rate). Clicking on an entry in the index will scroll the rest of the page to the corresponding anomaly rate sparkline for that metric.
+
+### Usage Tips
+
+- If you are interested in a subset of specific nodes then filtering to just those nodes before highlighting tends to give better results. This is because when you highlight a region, Netdata Cloud will ask the Agents for a ranking over all metrics so if you can filter this early to just the subset of nodes you are interested in, less 'averaging' will occur and so you might be a less noisy ranking.
+- Ideally try and highlight close to a spike or window of interest so that the resulting ranking can narrow in more easily on the timeline you are interested in.
+
+You can read more detail on how anomaly detection in the Netdata Agent works in our [Agent docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/ml/README.md).

+sidebar_label: "Metric Correlations"

+learn_rel_path: "Operations"
+---
+
+The Metric Correlations (MC) feature lets you quickly find metrics and charts related to a particular window of interest that you want to explore further. By displaying the standard Netdata dashboard, filtered to show only charts that are relevant to the window of interest, you can get to the root cause sooner.
+
+Because Metric Correlations uses every available metric from your infrastructure, with as high as 1-second granularity, you get the most accurate insights using every possible metric.
+
+## Using Metric Correlations
+
+When viewing the overview or a single-node dashboard, the **Metric Correlations** button appears in the top right corner of the page.
+
+![The Metric Correlations button](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/201082551-d805b20d-0472-455d-9f11-b2329adf3098.png)
+
+To start correlating metrics, click the **Metric Correlations** button, then hold the `Alt` key (or `⌘` on macOS) and click-and-drag a selection of metrics on a single chart. The selected timeframe needs to be at least 15 seconds for Metric Correlation to work.
+
+The menu then displays information about the selected area and reference baseline. Metric Correlations uses the reference baseline to discover which additional metrics are most closely connected to the selected metrics. The reference baseline is based upon the period immediately preceding the highlighted window and is the length of 4 times the highlighted window. This is to ensure that the reference baseline is always immediately before the highlighted window of interest and a bit longer so as to ensure it's a more representative short term baseline.
+
+Press the **Find Correlations** button to start up the correlations process, the button is only enabled when a valid timeframe is selected (at least 15 seconds). Once pressed, the process will score all available metrics on your nodes and return a filtered version of the Netdata dashboard. Now, you'll see only those metrics that have changed the most between a baseline window and the highlighted window you have selected.
+
+![Metric Correlations results](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/181751182-25e0890d-a5f4-4799-9936-1523603cf97d.png)
+
+These charts are fully interactive, and whenever possible, will only show the _dimensions_ related to the timeline you selected.
+
+You can interact with all the scored metrics via the slider. Slide toward **show less** for more nuanced and significant results, or toward **show more** to "loosen" the threshold to explore other charts that may have changed too, but in a less significant manner.
+
+If you find something else interesting in the results, you can select another window and press **Find Correlations** again to kick the process off again.
+
+## Metric Correlations options
+
+MC enables a few input parameters that users can define to iteratively explore their data in different ways. As is usually the case in Machine Learning (ML), there is no "one size fits all" algorithm, what approach works best will typically depend on the type of data (which can be very different from one metric to the next) and even the nature of the event or incident you might be exploring in Netdata.
+
+So when you first run MC it will use the most sensible and general defaults. But you can also then vary any of the below options to explore further.
+
+### Method
+
+There are two algorithms available that aim to score metrics based on how much they have changed between the baseline and highlight windows.
+
+- `KS2` - A statistical test ([Two-sample Kolmogorov Smirnov](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test#Two-sample_Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test)) comparing the distribution of the highlighted window to the baseline to try and quantify which metrics have most evidence of a significant change. You can explore our implementation [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/d917f9831c0a1638ef4a56580f321eb6c9a88037/database/metric_correlations.c#L212).
+- `Volume` - A heuristic measure based on the percentage change in averages between highlighted window and baseline, with various edge cases sensibly controlled for. You can explore our implementation [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/d917f9831c0a1638ef4a56580f321eb6c9a88037/database/metric_correlations.c#L516).
+
+### Aggregation
+
+Behind the scenes, Netdata will aggregate the raw data as needed such that arbitrary window lengths can be selected for MC. By default, Netdata will just `Average` raw data when needed as part of pre-processing. However other aggregations like `Median`, `Min`, `Max`, `Stddev` are also possible.
+
+### Data
+
+Netdata is different from typical observability agents since, in addition to just collecting raw metric values, it will by default also assign an "[Anomaly Bit](/docs/agent/ml#anomaly-bit)" related to each collected metric each second. This bit will be 0 for "normal" and 1 for "anomalous". This means that each metric also natively has an "[Anomaly Rate](/docs/agent/ml#anomaly-rate)" associated with it and, as such, MC can be run against the raw metric values or their corresponding anomaly rates.
+
+**Note**: Read more [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/guides/monitor/anomaly-detection.md) to learn more about the native anomaly detection features within netdata.
+
+- `Metrics` - Run MC on the raw metric values.
+- `Anomaly Rate` - Run MC on the corresponding anomaly rate for each metric.
+
+## Metric Correlations on the agent
+
+As of `v1.35.0` Netdata is able to run the Metric Correlations algorithm ([Two Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test#Two-sample_Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test)) on the agent itself. This avoids sending the underlying raw data to the original Netdata Cloud based microservice and so typically will be much much faster as no data moves around and the computation happens instead on the agent.
+
+When a Metric Correlations request is made to Netdata Cloud, if any node instances have MC enabled then the request will be routed to the node instance with the highest hops (e.g. a parent node if one is found or the node itself if not). If no node instances have MC enabled then the request will be routed to the original Netdata Cloud based service which will request input data from the nodes and run the computation within the Netdata Cloud backend.
+
+#### Enabling/Disabling Metric Correlations on the agent
+
+As of `v1.35.0-22-nightly` Metric Correlation has been enabled by default on all agents. After further optimizations to the implementation, the impact of running the metric correlations algorithm on the agent was less than the impact of preparing all the data to send to cloud for MC to run in the cloud, as such running MC on the agent is less impactful on local resources than running via cloud.
+
+Should you still want to, disabling nodes for Metric Correlation on the agent is a simple one line config change. Just set `enable metric correlations = no` in the `[global]` section of `netdata.conf`
+
+## Usage tips!
+
+- When running Metric Correlations from the [Overview tab](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/cloud/visualize/overview#overview) across multiple nodes, you might find better results if you iterate on the initial results by grouping by node to then filter to nodes of interest and run the Metric Correlations again. So a typical workflow in this case would be to:
+ - If unsure which nodes you are interested in then run MC on all nodes.
+ - Within the initial results returned group the most interesting chart by node to see if the changes are across all nodes or a subset of nodes.
+ - If you see a subset of nodes clearly jump out when you group by node, then filter for just those nodes of interest and run the MC again. This will result in less aggregation needing to be done by Netdata and so should help give clearer results as you interact with the slider.
+- Use the `Volume` algorithm for metrics with a lot of gaps (e.g. request latency when there are few requests), otherwise stick with `KS2`
+ - By default, Netdata uses the `KS2` algorithm which is a tried and tested method for change detection in a lot of domains. The [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%E2%80%93Smirnov_test) article gives a good overview of how this works. Basically, it is comparing, for each metric, its cumulative distribution in the highlight window with its cumulative distribution in the baseline window. The statistical test then seeks to quantify the extent to which we can say these two distributions look similar enough to be considered the same or not. The `Volume` algorithm is a bit more simple than `KS2` in that it basically compares (with some edge cases sensibly handled) the average value of the metric across baseline and highlight and looks at the percentage change. Often both `KS2` and `Volume` will have significant agreement and return similar metrics.
+ - `Volume` might favour picking up more sparse metrics that were relatively flat and then came to life with some spikes (or vice versa). This is because for such metrics that just don't have that many different values in them, it is impossible to construct a cumulative distribution that can then be compared. So `Volume` might be useful in spotting examples of metrics turning on or off. ![example where volume captured network traffic turning on](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/182336924-d02fd3d3-7f09-41da-9cfc-809d01396d9d.png)
+ - `KS2` since it relies on the full distribution might be better at highlighting more complex changes that `Volume` is unable to capture. For example a change in the variation of a metric might be picked up easily by `KS2` but missed (or just much lower scored) by `Volume` since the averages might remain not all that different between baseline and highlight even if their variance has changed a lot. ![example where KS2 captured a change in entropy distribution that volume alone might not have picked up](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/182338289-59b61e6b-089d-431c-bc8e-bd19ba6ad5a5.png)
+- Use `Volume` and `Anomaly Rate` together to ask what metrics have turned most anomalous from baseline to highlighted window. You can expand the embedded anomaly rate chart once you have results to see this more clearly. ![example where Volume and Anomaly Rate together help show what dimensions where most anomalous](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2178292/182338666-6d19fa92-89d3-4d61-804c-8f10982114f5.png)

+
+You can [sign in to Netdata](https://app.netdata.cloud/sign-in?cloudRoute=spaces?utm_source=docs&utm_content=sign_in_button_first_section) through one of three methods: email, Google, or GitHub. Email uses a
+time-sensitive link that authenticates your browser, and Google/GitHub both use OAuth to associate your email address
+with a Netdata Cloud account.
+
+No matter the method, your Netdata Cloud account is based around your email address. Netdata Cloud does not store
+passwords.
+
+
+## Email
+
+To sign in with email, visit [Netdata Cloud](https://app.netdata.cloud/sign-in?cloudRoute=spaces?utm_source=docs&utm_content=sign_in_button_email_section), enter your email address, and click
+the **Sign in by email** button.
+
+![Verify your email!](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/82235632/125475486-c667635a-067f-4866-9411-9f7f795a0d50.png)
+
+Click the **Verify** button in the email to begin using Netdata Cloud.
+
+To use this same Netdata Cloud account on additional devices, request another sign in email, open the email on that
+device, and sign in.
+
+### Don't have a Netdata Cloud account yet?
+
+If you don't have a Netdata Cloud account yet you won't need to worry about it. During the sign in process we will create one for you and make the process seamless to you.
+
+After your account is created and you sign in to Netdata, you first are asked to agree to Netdata Cloud's [Privacy
+Policy](https://www.netdata.cloud/privacy/) and [Terms of Use](https://www.netdata.cloud/terms/). Once you agree with these you are directed
+through the Netdata Cloud onboarding process, which is explained in the [Netdata Cloud
+quickstart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/get-started.mdx).
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+You should receive your sign in email in less than a minute. The subject is **Verify your email!** and the sender is `no-reply@app.netdata.cloud` via `sendgrid.net`.
+
+If you don't see the email, try the following:
+
+- Check [Netdata Cloud status](https://status.netdata.cloud) for ongoing issues with our infrastructure.
+- Request another sign in email via the [sign in page](https://app.netdata.cloud/sign-in?cloudRoute=spaces?utm_source=docs&utm_content=sign_in_button_troubleshooting_section).
+- Check your spam folder.
+- In Gmail, check the **Updates** category.
+
+You may also want to add `no-reply@app.netdata.cloud` to your address book or contacts list, especially if you're using
+a public email service, such as Gmail. You may also want to whitelist/allowlist either the specific email or the entire
+`app.netdata.cloud` domain.
+
+## Google and GitHub OAuth
+
+When you use Google/GitHub OAuth, your Netdata Cloud account is associated with the email address that Netdata Cloud
+receives via OAuth.
+
+To sign in with Google or GitHub OAuth, visit [Netdata Cloud](https://app.netdata.cloud/sign-in?cloudRoute=spaces?utm_source=docs&utm_content=sign_in_button_google_github_section) and click the
+**Continue with Google/GitHub** or button. Enter your Google/GitHub username and your password. Complete two-factor
+authentication if you or your organization has it enabled.
+
+You are then signed in to Netdata Cloud or directed to the new-user onboarding if you have not signed up previously.
+
+## Reset a password
+
+Netdata Cloud does not store passwords and does not support password resets. All of our sign in methods do not
+require passwords, and use either links in emails or Google/GitHub OAuth for authentication.
+
+## Switch between sign in methods
+
+You can switch between sign in methods if the email account associated with each method is the same.
+
+For example, you first sign in via your email account, `user@example.com`, and later sign out. You later attempt to sign
+in via a GitHub account associated with `user@example.com`. Netdata Cloud recognizes that the two are the same and signs
+you in to your original account.
+
+However, if you first sign in via your `user@example.com` email account and then sign in via a Google account associated
+with `user2@example.com`, Netdata Cloud creates a new account and begins the onboarding process.
+
+It is not currently possible to link an account created with `user@example.com` to a Google account associated with
+`user2@example.com`.
+
+## What's next?
+
+If you haven't already onboarded to Netdata Cloud and connected your first nodes, visit
+the [get started guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/get-started.mdx).

+-->
+
+Netdata Agent collectors are able to expose functions that can be executed in run-time and on-demand. These will be
+executed on the node - host where the function is made
+available.
+
+#### What is a function?
+
+Collectors besides the metric collection, storing, and/or streaming work are capable of executing specific routines on
+request. These routines will bring additional information
+to help you troubleshoot or even trigger some action to happen on the node itself.
+
+A function is a `key` - `value` pair. The `key` uniquely identifies the function within a node. The `value` is a
+function (i.e. code) to be run by a data collector when
+the function is invoked.
+
+For more details please check out documentation on how we use our internal collector to get this from the first collector that exposes
+functions - [plugins.d](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/plugins.d/README.md#function).
+
+#### What functions are currently available?
+
+| Function | Description | plugin - module |
+| :-- | :-- | :-- |
+| processes | Detailed information on the currently running processes on the node. | [apps.plugin](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/apps.plugin/README.md) |
+
+If you have ideas or requests for other functions:
+* open a [Feature request](https://github.com/netdata/netdata-cloud/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature+request%2Cneeds+triage&template=FEAT_REQUEST.yml&title=%5BFeat%5D%3A+) on Netdata Cloud repo
+* engage with our community on the [Netdata Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/mPZ6WZKKG2).
+#### How do functions work with streaming?
+
+Via streaming, the definitions of functions are transmitted to a parent node so it knows all the functions available on
+any children connected to it.
+
+If the parent node is the one connected to Netdata Cloud it is capable of triggering the call to the respective children
+node to run the function.
+
+#### Why are they available only on Netdata Cloud?
+
+Since these functions are able to execute routines on the node and due the potential use cases that they can cover, our
+concern is to ensure no sensitive
+information or disruptive actions are exposed through the Agent's API.
+
+With the communication between the Netdata Agent and Netdata Cloud being
+through [ACLK](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/aclk/README.md) this
+concern is addressed.

+
+Netdata Functions feature allows you to execute on-demand a pre-defined routine on a node where a Netdata Agent is running. These routines are exposed by a given collector.
+These routines can be used to retrieve additional information to help you troubleshoot or to trigger some action to happen on the node itself.
+
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The following is required to be able to run Functions from Netdata Cloud.
+* At least one of the nodes claimed to your Space should be on a Netdata agent version higher than `v1.37.1`
+* Ensure that the node has the collector that exposes the function you want enabled ([see current available functions](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/netdata-functions.md#what-functions-are-currently-available))
+
+### Execute a function (from functions view)
+
+1. From the right-hand bar select the **Function** you want to run
+2. Still on the right-hand bar select the **Node** where you want to run it
+3. Results will be displayed in the central area for you to interact with
+4. Additional filtering capabilities, depending on the function, should be available on right-hand bar
+
+### Execute a function (from Nodes view)
+
+1. Click on the functions icon for a node that has this active
+2. You are directed to the **Functions** tab
+3. Follow the above instructions from step 3.
+
+> ⚠️ If you get an error saying that your node can't execute Functions please check the [prerequisites](#prerequisites).

+
+A Space is a high-level container. It's a collaboration space where you can organize team members, access levels and the
+nodes you want to monitor.
+
+Let's talk through some strategies for creating the most intuitive Cloud experience for your team.
+
+## How to organize your Netdata Cloud
+
+You can use any number of Spaces you want, but as you organize your Cloud experience, keep in mind that _you can only
+add any given node to a single Space_. This 1:1 relationship between node and Space may dictate whether you use one
+encompassing Space for your entire team and separate them by War Rooms, or use different Spaces for teams monitoring
+discrete parts of your infrastructure.
+
+If you have been invited to Netdata Cloud by another user by default you will able to see this space. If you are a new
+user the first space is already created.
+
+The other consideration for the number of Spaces you use to organize your Netdata Cloud experience is the size and
+complexity of your organization.
+
+For small team and infrastructures we recommend sticking to a single Space so that you can keep all your nodes and their
+respective metrics in one place. You can then use
+multiple [War Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md)
+to further organize your infrastructure monitoring.
+
+Enterprises may want to create multiple Spaces for each of their larger teams, particularly if those teams have
+different responsibilities or parts of the overall infrastructure to monitor. For example, you might have one SRE team
+for your user-facing SaaS application and a second team for infrastructure tooling. If they don't need to monitor the
+same nodes, you can create separate Spaces for each team.
+
+## Navigate between spaces
+
+Click on any of the boxes to switch between available Spaces.
+
+Netdata Cloud abbreviates each Space to the first letter of the name, or the first two letters if the name is two words
+or more. Hover over each icon to see the full name in a tooltip.
+
+To add a new Space click on the green **+** button . Enter the name of the Space and click **Save**.
+
+![Switch between Spaces](/img/cloud/main-page-add-space.png)
+
+## Manage Spaces
+
+Manage your spaces by selecting in a particular space and clicking in the small gear icon in the lower left corner. This
+will open a side tab in which you can:
+
+1. _Configure this Space*_, in the first tab (**Space**) you can change the name, description or/and some privilege
+ options of this space
+
+2. _Edit the War Rooms*_, click on the **War rooms** tab to add or remove War Rooms.
+
+3. _Connect nodes*_, click on **Nodes** tab. Copy the claiming script to your node and run it. See the
+ [connect to Cloud doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/claim/README.md) for details.
+
+4. _Manage the users*_, click on **Users**.
+ The [invitation doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/invite-your-team.md)
+ details the invitation process.
+
+5. _Manage notification setting*_, click on **Notifications** tab to turn off/on notification methods.
+
+6. _Manage your bookmarks*_, click on the **Bookmarks** tab to add or remove bookmarks that you need.
+
+:::note \* This action requires admin rights for this space
+:::
+
+## Obsoleting offline nodes from a Space
+
+Netdata admin users now have the ability to remove obsolete nodes from a space.
+
+- Only admin users have the ability to obsolete nodes
+- Only offline nodes can be marked obsolete (Live nodes and stale nodes cannot be obsoleted)
+- Node obsoletion works across the entire space, so the obsoleted node will be removed from all rooms belonging to the
+ space
+- If the obsoleted nodes eventually become live or online once more they will be automatically re-added to the space
+

+
+## What's next?
+
+Once you configured your Spaces, it's time to set up
+your [War Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md).

+
+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

+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.

+
+## 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
+
+ ![23CHKCPnnJ.gif](https://images.zenhubusercontent.com/60b4ebb03f4163193ec31819/0b1e111e-df44-4d92-b2e3-be5cfd9db8df)
+
+| 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)
+
+| Interaction | Keyboard/mouse | Touchpad/touchscreen |
+|:-------------------------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------|
+| **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_status: "Published"
+learn_topic_type: "Concepts"
+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`
+
+![Composite charts of Kubernetes metrics in Netdata
+Cloud](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/106964370-3a8dd780-66ff-11eb-8858-05b2253b25c6.png)
+
+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/).

+
+## 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)

+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.
+

+
+War Rooms organize your connected nodes and provide infrastructure-wide dashboards using real-time metrics and
+visualizations.
+
+Once you add nodes to a Space, all of your nodes will be visible in the _All nodes_ War Room. This is a special War Room
+which gives you an overview of all of your nodes in this particular space. Then you can create functional separations of
+your nodes into more War Rooms. Every War Room has its own dashboards, navigation, indicators, and management tools.
+
+![An example War Room](/img/cloud/main-page.png)
+
+## Navigation
+
+### Switching between views - static tabs
+
+Every War Rooms provides multiple views. Each view focus on a particular area/subject of the nodes which you monitor in
+this War Rooms. Let's explore what view you have available:
+
+- The default view for any War Room is
+ the [Home tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md#home), which give you
+ an overview
+ of this space. Here you can see the number of Nodes claimed, data retention statics, user particate, alerts and more
+
+- The second and most important view is
+ the [Overview tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md#overview) which
+ uses composite
+ charts to display real-time metrics from every available node in a given War Room.
+
+- The [Nodes tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/nodes.md) gives you the ability to
+ see the status (offline or online), host details
+ , alarm status and also a short overview of some key metrics from all your nodes at a glance.
+
+- [Kubernetes tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/kubernetes.md) is a logical
+ grouping of charts regards to your Kubernetes clusters.
+ It contains a subset of the charts available in the _Overview tab_
+
+-
+
+The [Dashboards tab](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/dashboards.md)
+gives you the ability to have tailored made views of
+specific/targeted interfaces for your infrastructure using any number of charts from any number of nodes.
+
+- The **Alerts tab** provides you with an overview for all the active alerts you receive for the nodes in this War Room,
+ you can also see alla the alerts that are configured to be triggered in any given moment.
+
+- The **Anomalies tab** is dedicated to
+ the [Anomaly Advisor](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/anomaly-advisor.mdx) tool
+
+### Non static tabs
+
+If you open
+a [new dashboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/dashboards.md),
+jump to a single-node dashboard, or navigate to a dedicated alert page they will open in a new War Room tab.
+
+Tabs can be rearranged with drag-and-drop or closed with the **X** button. Open tabs persist between sessions, so you
+can always come right back to your preferred setup.
+
+### Play, pause, force play, and timeframe selector
+
+A War Room has three different states: playing, paused, and force playing. The default playing state refreshes charts
+every second as long as the browser tab is in
+focus. [Interacting with a chart](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx)
+pauses
+the War Room. Once the tab loses focus, charts pause automatically.
+
+The top navigation bar features a play/pause button to quickly change the state, and a dropdown to select **Force Play**
+, which keeps charts refreshing, potentially at the expense of system performance.
+
+Next to the play/pause button is the timeframe selector, which helps you select a precise window of metrics data to
+visualize. By default, all visualizations in Netdata Cloud show the last 15 minutes of metrics data.
+
+Use the **Quick Selector** to visualize metrics from predefined timeframes, or use the input field below to enter a
+number and an appropriate unit of time. The calendar allows you to select multiple days of metrics data.
+
+Click **Apply** to re-render all visualizations with new metrics data streamed to your browser from each distributed
+node. Click **Clear** to remove any changes and apply the default 15-minute timeframe.
+
+The fields beneath the calendar display the beginning and ending timestamps your selected timeframe.
+
+### Node filter
+
+The node filter allows you to quickly filter the nodes visualized in a War Room's views. It appears on all views, but
+not on single-node dashboards.
+
+![The node filter](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12612986/172674440-df224058-2b2c-41da-bb45-f4eb82e342e5.png)
+
+## War Room organization
+
+We recommend a few strategies for organizing your War Rooms.
+
+**Service, purpose, location, etc.**: You can group War Rooms by a service (think Nginx, MySQL, Pulsar, and so on),
+their purpose (webserver, database, application), their physical location, whether they're baremetal or a Docker
+container, the PaaS/cloud provider it runs on, and much more. This allows you to see entire slices of your
+infrastructure by moving from one War Room to another.
+
+**End-to-end apps/services**: If you have a user-facing SaaS product, or an internal service that said product relies
+on, you may want to monitor that entire stack in a single War Room. This might include Kubernetes clusters, Docker
+containers, proxies, databases, web servers, brokers, and more. End-to-end War Rooms are valuable tools for ensuring the
+health and performance of your organization's essential services.
+
+**Incident response**: You can also create new War Rooms as one of the first steps in your incident response process.
+For example, you have a user-facing web app that relies on Apache Pulsar for a message queue, and one of your nodes
+using the [Pulsar collector](https://github.com/netdata/go.d.plugin/blob/master/modules/pulsar/README.md) begins
+reporting a suspiciously low messages rate. You can create a War Room called `$year-$month-$day-pulsar-rate`, add all
+your Pulsar nodes in addition to nodes they connect to, and begin diagnosing the root cause in a War Room optimized for
+getting to resolution as fast as possible.
+
+## Add War Rooms
+
+To add new War Rooms to any Space, click on the green plus icon **+** next the **War Rooms** heading. on the left (
+space's) sidebar.
+
+In the panel, give the War Room a name and description, and choose whether it's public or private. Anyone in your Space
+can join public War Rooms, but can only join private War Rooms with an invitation.
+
+## Manage War Rooms
+
+All the users and nodes involved in a particular space can potential be part of a War Room.
+
+Any user can change simple settings of a War room, like the name or the users participating in it. Click on the gear
+icon of the War Room's name in the top of the page to do that. A sidebar will open with options for this War Room:
+
+1. To _change a War Room's name, description, or public/private status_, click on **War Room** tab of the sidebar.
+
+2. To _include an existing node_ to a War Room or _connect a new node*_ click on **Nodes** tab of the sidebar. Choose
+ any
+ connected node you want to add to this War Room by clicking on the checkbox next to its hostname, then click **+ Add
+ **
+ at the top of the panel.
+
+3. To _add existing users to a War Room_, click on **Add Users**. See
+ our [invite doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/invite-your-team.md)
+ for details on inviting new users to your Space in Netdata Cloud.
+

+## What is Netdata ?
+
+Netdata is designed by system administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers to collect everything, help you visualize
+metrics, troubleshoot complex performance problems, and make data interoperable with the rest of your monitoring stack.
+
+You can install Netdata on most Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and more), container platforms (Kubernetes
+clusters, Docker), and many other operating systems (FreeBSD).
+
+Netdata is:
+
+### Simple to deploy
+
+- **One-line deployment** for Linux distributions, plus support for Kubernetes/Docker infrastructures.
+- **Zero configuration and maintenance** required to collect thousands of metrics, every second, from the underlying
+ OS and running applications.
+- **Prebuilt charts and alarms** alert you to common anomalies and performance issues without manual configuration.
+- **Distributed storage** to simplify the cost and complexity of storing metrics data from any number of nodes.
+
+### Powerful and scalable
+
+- **1% CPU utilization, a few MB of RAM, and minimal disk I/O** to run the monitoring Agent on bare metal, virtual
+ machines, containers, and even IoT devices.
+- **Per-second granularity** for an unlimited number of metrics based on the hardware and applications you're running
+ on your nodes.
+- **Interoperable exporters** let you connect Netdata's per-second metrics with an existing monitoring stack and other
+ time-series databases.
+
+### Optimized for troubleshooting
+
+- **Visual anomaly detection** with a UI/UX that emphasizes the relationships between charts.
+- **Customizable dashboards** to pinpoint correlated metrics, respond to incidents, and help you streamline your
+ workflows.
+- **Distributed metrics in a centralized interface** to assist users or teams trace complex issues between distributed
+ nodes.
+
+### Secure by design
+
+- **Distributed data architecture** so fast and efficient, there’s no limit to the number of metrics you can follow.
+- Because your data is **stored at the edge**, security is ensured.
+-
+### Comparison with other monitoring solutions
+
+Netdata offers many benefits over the existing monitoring landscape, whether they're expensive SaaS products or other
+open-source tools.
+
+| Netdata | Others (open-source and commercial) |
+| :-------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **High resolution metrics** (1s granularity) | Low resolution metrics (10s granularity at best) |
+| Collects **thousands of metrics per node** | Collects just a few metrics |
+| Fast UI optimized for **anomaly detection** | UI is good for just an abstract view |
+| **Long-term, autonomous storage** at one-second granularity | Centralized metrics in an expensive data lake at 10s granularity |
+| **Meaningful presentation**, to help you understand the metrics | You have to know the metrics before you start |
+| Install and get results **immediately** | Long sales process and complex installation process |
+| Use it for **troubleshooting** performance problems | Only gathers _statistics of past performance_ |
+| **Kills the console** for tracing performance issues | The console is always required for troubleshooting |
+| Requires **zero dedicated resources** | Require large dedicated resources |
+
+
+Netdata works with tons of applications, notifications platforms, and other time-series databases:
+
+- **300+ system, container, and application endpoints**: Collectors autodetect metrics from default endpoints and
+ immediately visualize them into meaningful charts designed for troubleshooting. See [everything we
+ support](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/collectors/COLLECTORS.md).
+- **20+ notification platforms**: Netdata's health watchdog sends warning and critical alarms to your [favorite
+ platform](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/enable-notifications.md) to inform you of anomalies just seconds
+ after they affect your node.
+- **30+ external time-series databases**: Export resampled metrics as they're collected to other [local- and
+ Cloud-based databases](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/export/external-databases.md) for best-in-class
+ interoperability.
+
+
+## How it works
+
+Netdata is a highly efficient, highly modular, metrics management engine. Its lockless design makes it ideal for concurrent operations on the metrics.
+
+You can see a high level representation in the following diagram.
+
+![Diagram of Netdata's core functionality](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2662304/199225735-01a41cc5-c074-4fe2-b780-5f08e92c6769.png)
+
+And a higher level diagram in this one.
+
+![Diagram 2 of Netdata's core

+
+You can even visit this slightly dated [interactive infographic](https://my-netdata.io/infographic.html) and get lost in a rabbit hole.
+
+But the best way to get under the hood or in the steering wheel of our highly efficient, low-latency system (supporting multiple readers and one writer on each metric) is to read the rest of our docs, or just to jump in and [get started](app.netdata.com). But here's a good breakdown:
+
+### Netdata Agent
+
+Netdata's distributed monitoring Agent collects thousands of metrics from systems, hardware, and applications with zero configuration. It runs permanently on all your physical/virtual servers, containers, cloud deployments, and edge/IoT devices.
+
+You can install Netdata on most Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and more), container/microservice platforms (Kubernetes clusters, Docker), and many other operating systems (FreeBSD, macOS), with no sudo required.
+
+### Netdata Cloud
+Netdata Cloud is a web application that gives you real-time visibility for your entire infrastructure. With Netdata Cloud, you can view key metrics, insightful charts, and active alarms from all your nodes in a single web interface. When an anomaly strikes, seamlessly navigate to any node to troubleshoot and discover the root cause with the familiar Netdata dashboard.
+
+Netdata Cloud is free! You can add an entire infrastructure of nodes, invite all your colleagues, and visualize any number of metrics, charts, and alarms entirely for free.
+
+While Netdata Cloud offers a centralized method of monitoring your Agents, your metrics data is not stored or centralized in any way. Metrics data remains with your nodes and is only streamed to your browser, through Cloud, when you're viewing the Netdata Cloud interface.
+

+
+Welcome to our docs developer guidelines!
+
+This document will guide you to the process of contributing to our
+docs (**learn.netdata.cloud**)
+
+## Documentation architecture
+
+Netdata docs follows has two principals.
+
+1. Keep the documentation of each component _as close as you can to the codebase_
+2. Every component is analyzed via topic related docs.
+
+To this end:
+
+1. Documentation lives in every possible repo in the netdata organization. At the moment we contribute to:
+ - netdata/netdata
+ - netdata/learn (final site)
+ - netdata/go.d.plugin
+ - netdata/agent-service-discovery
+
+ In each of these repos you will find markdown files. These markdown files may or not be part of the final docs. You
+ understand what documents are part of the final docs in the following section:[_How to update documentation of
+ learn.netdata.cloud_](#how-to-update-documentation-of-learn-netdata-cloud)
+
+2. Netdata docs processes are inspired from
+ the [DITA 1.2 guidelines](http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/archSpec/dita-1.2_technicalContent_overview.html)
+ for Technical content.
+
+## Topic types
+
+### Concepts
+
+A concept introduces a single feature or concept. A concept should answer the questions:
+
+- What is this?
+- Why would I use it?
+
+Concept topics:
+
+- Are abstract ideas
+- Explain meaning or benefit
+- Can stay when specifications change
+- Provide background information
+
+### Tasks
+
+Concept and reference topics exist to support tasks. _The goal for users … is not to understand a concept but to
+complete a task_. A task gives instructions for how to complete a procedure.
+
+Much of the uncertainty whether a topic is a concept or a reference disappears, when you have strong, solid task topics
+in place, furthermore topics directly address your users and their daily tasks and help them to get their job done. A
+task **must give an answer** to the **following questions**:
+
+- How do I create cool espresso drinks with my new coffee machine?
+- How do I clean the milk steamer?
+
+For the title text, use the structure active verb + noun. For example, for instance _Deploy the Agent_.
+
+### References
+
+The reference document and information types provide for the separation of fact-based information from concepts and
+tasks. \
+Factual information may include tables and lists of specifications, parameters, parts, commands, edit-files and other
+information that the users are likely to look up. The reference information type allows fact-based content to be
+maintained by those responsible for its accuracy and consistency.

+
+### Encapsulate topics into markdown files.
+
+Netdata uses markdown files to document everything. To implement concrete sections of these [Topic types](#topic-types)
+we encapsulate this logic as follows. Every document is characterized by its topic type ('learn_topic_type' metadata
+field). To avoid breaking every single netdata concept into numerous small markdown files each document can be either a
+single `Reference` or `Concept` or `Task` or a group of `References`, `Concepts`, `Tasks`.
+
+To this end, every single topic is encapsulated into a `Heading 3 (###)` section. That means, when you have a single
+file you only make use of `Headings 4` and lower (`4, 5, 6`, for templated section or subsection). In case you want to
+includ multiple (`Concepts` let's say) in a single document, you use `Headings 3` to seperate each concept. `Headings 2`
+are used only in case you want to logically group topics inside a document.
+
+For instance:
+
+```markdown
+
+Small introduction of the document.
+
+### Concept A
+
+Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna
+aliqua.
+
+#### Field from template 1
+
+Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
+
+#### Field from template 1
+
+Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
+
+##### Subsection 1
+
+. . .
+
+### Concept A
+
+Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
+
+#### Field from template 1
+
+. . .
+
+
+```
+
+This approach gives a clean and readable outlook in each document from a single sidebar.
+
+Here you can find the preferred templates for each topic type:
+
+
+<Tabs>
+ <TabItem value="Concept" label="Concept" default>
+
+ ```markdown
+ Small intro, give some context to the user of what you will cover on this document
+
+ ### concept title (omit if the document describes only one concept)
+
+ A concept introduces a single feature or concept. A concept should answer the questions:
+
+ 1. What is this?
+ 2. Why would I use it?
+
+ ```
+
+ </TabItem>
+ <TabItem value="Task" label="Tasks">
+
+ ```markdown

+
+### Metadata fields
+
+All Docs that are supposed to be part of learn.netdata.cloud have **hidden** sections in the begining of document. These
+sections are plain lines of text and we call them metadata. Their represented as `key : "Value"` pairs. Some of them are
+needed from our statice website builder (docusaurus) others are needed for our internal pipelines to build docs
+(have prefix `learn_`).
+
+So let's go through the different necessary metadata tags to get a document properly published on Learn:
+
+| metadata_key | Value(s) | Frontmatter effect | Mandatory | Limitations |
+|:---------------------:|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:---------:|:---------------------------------------:|
+| `title` | `String` | Title in each document | yes | |
+| `custom_edit_url` | `String` | The source GH link of the file | yes | |
+| `description` | `String or multiline String` | - | yes | |
+| `sidebar_label` | `String or multiline String` | Name in the TOC tree | yes | |
+| `sidebar_position` | `String or multiline String` | Global position in the TOC tree (local for per folder) | yes | |
+| `learn_status` | [`Published`, `Unpublished`, `Hidden`] | `Published`: Document visible in learn,<br/> `Unpublished`: Document archived in learn, <br/>`Hidden`: Documentplaced under learn_rel_path but it's hidden] | yes | |
+| `learn_topic_type` | [`Concepts`, `Tasks`, `References`, `Getting Started`] | | yes | |
+| `learn_rel_path` | `Path` (the path you want this file to appear in learn<br/> without the /docs prefix and the name of the file | | yes | |
+| `learn_autogenerated` | `Dictionary` (for internal use) | | no | Keys in the dictionary must be in `' '` |
+
+:::important
+
+1. In case any mandatory tags are missing or falsely inputted the file will remain unpublished. This is by design to
+ prevent non-properly tagged files from getting published.
+2. All metadata values must be included in `" "`. From `string` noted text inside the fields use `' ''`
+
+
+While Docusaurus can make use of more metadata tags than the above, these are the minimum we require to publish the file
+on Learn.
+
+:::
+
+### Placing a document in learn
+
+Here you can see how the metadata are parsed and create a markdown file in learn.

+
+### Before you get started
+
+Anyone interested in contributing to documentation should first read the [Netdata style guide](#styling-guide) further
+down below and the [Netdata Community Code of Conduct](https://github.com/netdata/.github/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+Netdata's documentation uses Markdown syntax. If you're not familiar with Markdown, read
+the [Mastering Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) guide from GitHub for the basics on
+creating paragraphs, styled text, lists, tables, and more, and read further down about some special
+occasions [while writing in MDX](#mdx-and-markdown).
+
+### Making your first contribution
+
+The easiest way to contribute to Netdata's documentation is to edit a file directly on GitHub. This is perfect for small
+fixes to a single document, such as fixing a typo or clarifying a confusing sentence.
+
+Click on the **Edit this page** button on any published document on [Netdata Learn](https://learn.netdata.cloud). Each
+page has two of these buttons: One beneath the table of contents, and another at the end of the document, which take you
+to GitHub's code editor. Make your suggested changes, keeping the [Netdata style guide](#styling-guide)
+in mind, and use the ***Preview changes*** button to ensure your Markdown syntax works as expected.
+
+Under the **Commit changes** header, write descriptive title for your requested change. Click the **Commit changes**
+button to initiate your pull request (PR).
+
+Jump down to our instructions on [PRs](#making-a-pull-request) for your next steps.
+
+**Note**: If you wish to contribute documentation that is more tailored from your specific infrastructure
+monitoring/troubleshooting experience, please consider submitting a blog post about your experience. Check
+the [README](https://github.com/netdata/blog/blob/master/README.md) in our blog repo! Any blog submissions that have
+widespread or universal application will be integrated into our permanent documentation.
+
+### Edit locally
+
+Editing documentation locally is the preferred method for complex changes that span multiple documents or change the
+documentation's style or structure.
+
+Create a fork of the Netdata Agent repository by visit the [Netdata repository](https://github.com/netdata/netdata) and
+clicking on the **Fork** button.
+
+GitHub will ask you where you want to clone the repository. When finished, you end up at the index of your forked
+Netdata Agent repository. Clone your fork to your local machine:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME/netdata.git
+```
+
+Create a new branch using `git checkout -b BRANCH-NAME`. Use your favorite text editor to make your changes, keeping
+the [Netdata style guide](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/contributing/style-guide.md) in mind. Add, commit, and push changes to your fork. When you're
+finished, visit the [Netdata Agent Pull requests](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/pulls) to create a new pull request
+based on the changes you made in the new branch of your fork.
+
+### Making a pull request
+
+Pull requests (PRs) should be concise and informative. See our [PR guidelines](/contribute/handbook#pr-guidelines) for
+specifics.
+
+- The title must follow the [imperative mood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperative_mood) and be no more than ~50
+ characters.
+- The description should explain what was changed and why. Verify that you tested any code or processes that you are
+ trying to change.
+
+The Netdata team will review your PR and assesses it for correctness, conciseness, and overall quality. We may point to
+specific sections and ask for additional information or other fixes.
+
+After merging your PR, the Netdata team rebuilds the [documentation site](https://learn.netdata.cloud) to publish the
+changed documentation.
+
+## Styling guide
+
+The *Netdata style guide* establishes editorial guidelines for any writing produced by the Netdata team or the Netdata
+community, including documentation, articles, in-product UX copy, and more. Both internal Netdata teams and external
+contributors to any of Netdata's open-source projects should reference and adhere to this style guide as much as
+possible.
+
+Netdata's writing should **empower** and **educate**. You want to help people understand Netdata's value, encourage them
+to learn more, and ultimately use Netdata's products to democratize monitoring in their organizations. To achieve these
+goals, your writing should be:
+
+- **Clear**. Use simple words and sentences. Use strong, direct, and active language that encourages readers to action.
+- **Concise**. Provide solutions and answers as quickly as possible. Give users the information they need right now,
+ along with opportunities to learn more.
+- **Universal**. Think of yourself as a guide giving a tour of Netdata's products, features, and capabilities to a
+ diverse group of users. Write to reach the widest possible audience.
+
+You can achieve these goals by reading and adhering to the principles outlined below.
+
+If you're not familiar with Markdown, read
+the [Mastering Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) guide from GitHub for the basics on
+creating paragraphs, styled text, lists, tables, and more.
+
+The following sections describe situations in which a specific syntax is required.
+
+#### Syntax standards (`remark-lint`)
+
+The Netdata team uses [`remark-lint`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint) for Markdown code styling.
+
+- Use a maximum of 120 characters per line.
+- Begin headings with hashes, such as `# H1 heading`, `## H2 heading`, and so on.
+- Use `_` for italics/emphasis.
+- Use `**` for bold.
+- Use dashes `-` to begin an unordered list, and put a single space after the dash.
+- Tables should be padded so that pipes line up vertically with added whitespace.
+
+If you want to see all the settings, open the
+[`remarkrc.js`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/.remarkrc.js) file in the `netdata/netdata` repository.
+
+#### MDX and markdown
+
+While writing in Docusaurus, you might want to take leverage of it's features that are supported in MDX formatted files.
+One of those that we use is [Tabs](https://docusaurus.io/docs/next/markdown-features/tabs). They use an HTML syntax,
+which requires some changes in the way we write markdown inside them.
+
+In detail:
+
+Due to a bug with docusaurus, we prefer to use `<h1>heading</h1> instead of # H1` so that docusaurus doesn't render the
+contents of all Tabs on the right hand side, while not being able to navigate
+them [relative link](https://github.com/facebook/docusaurus/issues/7008).
+
+You can use markdown syntax for every other styling you want to do except Admonitions:
+For admonitions, follow [this](https://docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features/admonitions#usage-in-jsx) guide to use
+admonitions inside JSX. While writing in JSX, all the markdown stylings have to be in HTML format to be rendered
+properly.
+
+#### Admonitions
+
+Use admonitions cautiously. Admonitions may draw user's attention, to that end we advise you to use them only for side
+content/info, without significantly interrupting the document flow.
+
+You can find the supported admonitions in the docusaurus's [documentation](https://docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features/admonitions).
+
+#### Images
+
+Don't rely on images to convey features, ideas, or instructions. Accompany every image with descriptive alt text.
+
+In Markdown, use the standard image syntax, `![](/docs/agent/contributing)`, and place the alt text between the
+brackets `[]`. Here's an example using our logo:
+
+```markdown
+![The Netdata logo](/docs/agent/web/gui/static/img/netdata-logomark.svg)
+```
+
+Reference in-product text, code samples, and terminal output with actual text content, not screen captures or other
+images. Place the text in an appropriate element, such as a blockquote or code block, so all users can parse the
+information.
+
+#### Syntax highlighting
+
+Our documentation site at [learn.netdata.cloud](https://learn.netdata.cloud) uses
+[Prism](https://v2.docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features#syntax-highlighting) for syntax highlighting. Netdata can use
+any of
+the [supported languages by prism-react-renderer](https://github.com/FormidableLabs/prism-react-renderer/blob/master/src/vendor/prism/includeLangs.js)
+.
+
+If no language is specified, Prism tries to guess the language based on its content.
+
+Include the language directly after the three backticks (```` ``` ````) that start the code block. For highlighting C
+code, for example:
+
+````c
+```c
+inline char *health_stock_config_dir(void) {
+ char buffer[FILENAME_MAX + 1];
+ snprintfz(buffer, FILENAME_MAX, "%s/health.d", netdata_configured_stock_config_dir);
+ return config_get(CONFIG_SECTION_DIRECTORIES, "stock health config", buffer);
+}
+```
+````
+
+And the prettified result:
+
+```c
+inline char *health_stock_config_dir(void) {
+ char buffer[FILENAME_MAX + 1];
+ snprintfz(buffer, FILENAME_MAX, "%s/health.d", netdata_configured_stock_config_dir);
+ return config_get(CONFIG_SECTION_DIRECTORIES, "stock health config", buffer);
+}
+```
+
+Prism also supports titles and line highlighting. See
+the [Docusaurus documentation](https://v2.docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features#code-blocks) for more information.
+
+## Language, grammar, and mechanics
+
+#### Voice and tone
+
+One way we write empowering, educational content is by using a consistent voice and an appropriate tone.
+
+*Voice* is like your personality, which doesn't really change day to day.
+
+*Tone* is how you express your personality. Your expression changes based on your attitude or mood, or based on who
+you're around. In writing, your reflect tone in your word choice, punctuation, sentence structure, or even the use of
+emoji.
+
+The same idea about voice and tone applies to organizations, too. Our voice shouldn't change much between two pieces of
+content, no matter who wrote each, but the tone might be quite different based on who we think is reading.
+
+For example, a [blog post](https://www.netdata.cloud/blog/) and a [press release](https://www.netdata.cloud/news/)
+should have a similar voice, despite most often being written by different people. However, blog posts are relaxed and
+witty, while press releases are focused and academic. You won't see any emoji in a press release.
+
+##### Voice
+
+Netdata's voice is authentic, passionate, playful, and respectful.
+
+- **Authentic** writing is honest and fact-driven. Focus on Netdata's strength while accurately communicating what
+ Netdata can and cannot do, and emphasize technical accuracy over hard sells and marketing jargon.
+- **Passionate** writing is strong and direct. Be a champion for the product or feature you're writing about, and let
+ your unique personality and writing style shine.
+- **Playful** writing is friendly, thoughtful, and engaging. Don't take yourself too seriously, as long as it's not at
+ the expense of Netdata or any of its users.
+- **Respectful** writing treats people the way you want to be treated. Prioritize giving solutions and answers as
+ quickly as possible.
+
+##### Tone
+
+Netdata's tone is fun and playful, but clarity and conciseness comes first. We also tend to be informal, and aren't
+afraid of a playful joke or two.
+
+While we have general standards for voice and tone, we do want every individual's unique writing style to reflect in
+published content.
+
+#### Universal communication
+
+Netdata is a global company in every sense, with employees, contributors, and users from around the world. We strive to
+communicate in a way that is clear and easily understood by everyone.
+
+Here are some guidelines, pointers, and questions to be aware of as you write to ensure your writing is universal. Some
+of these are expanded into individual sections in
+the [language, grammar, and mechanics](#language-grammar-and-mechanics) section below.
+
+- Would this language make sense to someone who doesn't work here?
+- Could someone quickly scan this document and understand the material?
+- Create an information hierarchy with key information presented first and clearly called out to improve scannability.
+- Avoid directional language like "sidebar on the right of the page" or "header at the top of the page" since
+ presentation elements may adapt for devices.
+- Use descriptive links rather than "click here" or "learn more".
+- Include alt text for images and image links.
+- Ensure any information contained within a graphic element is also available as plain text.
+- Avoid idioms that may not be familiar to the user or that may not make sense when translated.
+- Avoid local, cultural, or historical references that may be unfamiliar to users.
+- Prioritize active, direct language.
+- Avoid referring to someone's age unless it is directly relevant; likewise, avoid referring to people with age-related
+ descriptors like "young" or "elderly."
+- Avoid disability-related idioms like "lame" or "falling on deaf ears." Don't refer to a person's disability unless
+ it’s directly relevant to what you're writing.
+- Don't call groups of people "guys." Don't call women "girls."
+- Avoid gendered terms in favor of neutral alternatives, like "server" instead of "waitress" and "businessperson"
+ instead of "businessman."
+- When writing about a person, use their communicated pronouns. When in doubt, just ask or use their name. It's OK to
+ use "they" as a singular pronoun.
+
+> Some of these guidelines were adapted from MailChimp under the Creative Commons license.
+
+To ensure Netdata's writing is clear, concise, and universal, we have established standards for language, grammar, and
+certain writing mechanics. However, if you're writing about Netdata for an external publication, such as a guest blog
+post, follow that publication's style guide or standards, while keeping
+the [preferred spelling of Netdata terms](#netdata-specific-terms) in mind.
+
+#### Active voice
+
+Active voice is more concise and easier to understand compared to passive voice. When using active voice, the subject of
+the sentence is action. In passive voice, the subject is acted upon. A famous example of passive voice is the phrase
+"mistakes were made."
+

+| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Not recommended | When an alarm is triggered by a metric, a notification is sent by Netdata. |
+| **Recommended** | When a metric triggers an alarm, Netdata sends a notification to your preferred endpoint. |
+
+#### Second person
+
+Use the second person ("you") to give instructions or "talk" directly to users.
+
+In these situations, avoid "we," "I," "let's," and "us," particularly in documentation. The "you" pronoun can also be
+implied, depending on your sentence structure.
+
+One valid exception is when a member of the Netdata team or community wants to write about said team or community.
+
+| | |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Not recommended | To install Netdata, we should try the one-line installer... |
+| **Recommended** | To install Netdata, you should try the one-line installer... |
+| **Recommended**, implied "you" | To install Netdata, try the one-line installer... |
+
+#### "Easy" or "simple"
+
+Using words that imply the complexity of a task or feature goes against our policy
+of [universal communication](#universal-communication). If you claim that a task is easy and the reader struggles to
+complete it, you may inadvertently discourage them.
+
+However, if you give users two options and want to relay that one option is genuinely less complex than another, be
+specific about how and why.
+
+For example, don't write, "Netdata's one-line installer is the easiest way to install Netdata." Instead, you might want
+to say, "Netdata's one-line installer requires fewer steps than manually installing from source."
+
+#### Slang, metaphors, and jargon
+
+A particular word, phrase, or metaphor you're familiar with might not translate well to the other cultures featured
+among Netdata's global community. We recommended you avoid slang or colloquialisms in your writing.
+
+In addition, don't use abbreviations that have not yet been defined in the content. See our section on
+[abbreviations](#abbreviations-acronyms-and-initialisms) for additional guidance.
+
+If you must use industry jargon, such as "mean time to resolution," define the term as clearly and concisely as you can.
+
+> Netdata helps you reduce your organization's mean time to resolution (MTTR), which is the average time the responsible
+> team requires to repair a system and resolve an ongoing incident.
+
+#### Spelling
+
+While the Netdata team is mostly *not* American, we still aspire to use American spelling whenever possible, as it is
+the standard for the monitoring industry.
+
+See the [word list](#word-list) for spellings of specific words.
+
+#### Capitalization
+
+Follow the general [English standards](https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/mechanics/help_with_capitals.html) for
+capitalization. In summary:
+
+- Capitalize the first word of every new sentence.
+- Don't use uppercase for emphasis. (Netdata is the BEST!)
+- Capitalize the names of brands, software, products, and companies according to their official guidelines. (Netdata,
+ Docker, Apache, NGINX)
+- Avoid camel case (NetData) or all caps (NETDATA).
+
+Whenever you refer to the company Netdata, Inc., or the open-source monitoring agent the company develops, capitalize
+**Netdata**.
+
+However, if you are referring to a process, user, or group on a Linux system, use lowercase and fence the word in an
+inline code block: `` `netdata` ``.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Not recommended | The netdata agent, which spawns the netdata process, is actively maintained by netdata, inc. |
+| **Recommended** | The Netdata Agent, which spawns the `netdata` process, is actively maintained by Netdata, Inc. |
+
+##### Capitalization of document titles and page headings
+
+Document titles and page headings should use sentence case. That means you should only capitalize the first word.
+
+If you need to use the name of a brand, software, product, and company, capitalize it according to their official
+guidelines.
+
+Also, don't put a period (`.`) or colon (`:`) at the end of a title or header.
+
+| | |

+| Not recommended | Getting Started Guide <br />Service Discovery and Auto-Detection: <br />Install netdata with docker |
+| **
+Recommended** | Getting started guide <br />Service discovery and auto-detection <br />Install Netdata with Docker |
+
+#### Abbreviations (acronyms and initialisms)
+
+Use abbreviations (including [acronyms and initialisms](https://www.dictionary.com/e/acronym-vs-abbreviation/)) in
+documentation when one exists, when it's widely accepted within the monitoring/sysadmin community, and when it improves
+the readability of a document.
+
+When introducing an abbreviation to a document for the first time, give the reader both the spelled-out version and the
+shortened version at the same time. For example:
+
+> Use Netdata to monitor Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) metrics in real-time. After you define an abbreviation, don't switch back and forth. Use only the abbreviation for the rest of the document.
+
+You can also use abbreviations in a document's title to keep the title short and relevant. If you do this, you should
+still introduce the spelled-out name alongside the abbreviation as soon as possible.
+
+#### Clause order
+
+When instructing users to take action, give them the context first. By placing the context in an initial clause at the
+beginning of the sentence, users can immediately know if they want to read more, follow a link, or skip ahead.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Not recommended | Read the reference guide if you'd like to learn more about custom dashboards. |
+| **Recommended** | If you'd like to learn more about custom dashboards, read the reference guide. |
+
+#### Oxford comma
+
+The Oxford comma is the comma used after the second-to-last item in a list of three or more items. It appears just
+before "and" or "or."
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Not recommended | Netdata can monitor RAM, disk I/O, MySQL queries per second and lm-sensors. |
+| **Recommended** | Netdata can monitor RAM, disk I/O, MySQL queries per second, and lm-sensors. |
+
+#### Future releases or features
+
+Do not mention future releases or upcoming features in writing unless they have been previously communicated via a
+public roadmap.
+
+In particular, documentation must describe, as accurately as possible, the Netdata Agent _as of
+the [latest commit](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/commits/master) in the GitHub repository_. For Netdata Cloud,
+documentation must reflect the *current state* of [production](https://app.netdata.cloud).
+
+#### Informational links
+
+Every link should clearly state its destination. Don't use words like "here" to describe where a link will take your
+reader.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| Not recommended | To install Netdata, click [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md). |
+| **Recommended** | To install Netdata, read the [installation instructions](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/README.md). |
+
+Use links as often as required to provide necessary context. Blog posts and guides require less hyperlinks than
+documentation. See the section on [linking between documentation](#linking-between-documentation) for guidance on the
+Markdown syntax and path structure of inter-documentation links.
+
+#### Contractions
+
+Contractions like "you'll" or "they're" are acceptable in most Netdata writing. They're both authentic and playful, and
+reinforce the idea that you, as a writer, are guiding users through a particular idea, process, or feature.
+
+Contractions are generally not used in press releases or other media engagements.
+
+#### Emoji
+
+Emoji can add fun and character to your writing, but should be used sparingly and only if it matches the content's tone
+and desired audience.
+
+#### Switching Linux users
+
+Netdata documentation often suggests that users switch from their normal user to the `netdata` user to run specific
+commands. Use the following command to instruct users to make the switch:
+
+```bash
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+```
+
+#### Hostname/IP address of a node
+
+Use `NODE` instead of an actual or example IP address/hostname when referencing the process of navigating to a dashboard
+or API endpoint in a browser.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Not recommended | Navigate to `http://example.com:19999` in your browser to see Netdata's dashboard. <br />Navigate to `http://203.0.113.0:19999` in your browser to see Netdata's dashboard. |
+| **
+Recommended** | Navigate to `http://NODE:19999` in your browser to see Netdata's dashboard. |
+
+If you worry that `NODE` doesn't provide enough context for the user, particularly in documentation or guides designed
+for beginners, you can provide an explanation:
+
+> With the Netdata Agent running, visit `http://NODE:19999/api/v1/info` in your browser, replacing `NODE` with the IP
+> address or hostname of your Agent.
+
+#### Paths and running commands
+
+When instructing users to run a Netdata-specific command, don't assume the path to said command, because not every
+Netdata Agent installation will have commands under the same paths. When applicable, help them navigate to the correct
+path, providing a recommendation or instructions on how to view the running configuration, which includes the correct
+paths.
+
+For example, the [configuration](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md) doc first teaches users how to find the Netdata config directory
+and navigate to it, then runs commands from the `/etc/netdata` path so that the instructions are more universal.
+
+Don't include full paths, beginning from the system's root (`/`), as these might not work on certain systems.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Not recommended | Use `edit-config` to edit Netdata's configuration: `sudo /etc/netdata/edit-config netdata.conf`. |
+| **
+Recommended** | Use `edit-config` to edit Netdata's configuration by first navigating to your [Netdata config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory), which is typically at `/etc/netdata`, then running `sudo edit-config netdata.conf`. |
+
+#### `sudo`
+
+Include `sudo` before a command if you believe most Netdata users will need to elevate privileges to run it. This makes
+our writing more universal, and users on `sudo`-less systems are generally already aware that they need to run commands
+differently.
+
+For example, most users need to use `sudo` with the `edit-config` script, because the Netdata config directory is owned
+by the `netdata` user. Same goes for restarting the Netdata Agent with `systemctl`.
+
+| | |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

database using its process. The Netdata Agent already knows to look for processes with the string `mysqld` in their
name, along with a few others, and puts them into the `sql` group. This `sql` group then becomes a dimension in all
process-specific charts.
The process and groups settings are used by two unique and powerful collectors.
