-# See an overview of your infrastructure
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In Netdata Cloud, your nodes are organized into War Rooms. One of the two available views for a War Room is the
|
|
|
-[**Overview**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md), which uses composite charts to 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 with filtering or single-node dashboards to see more. In the screenshot below,
|
|
|
-each chart visualizes average or sum metrics values from across 5 distributed nodes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Netdata also supports robust Kubernetes monitoring using the Overview. Read our [deployment
|
|
|
-doc](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/packaging/installer/methods/kubernetes.md) for details on visualizing Kubernetes metrics in Netdata Cloud.

|
|
-## Using the Overview
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The Overview uses roughly the same interface as local Agent dashboards or single-node dashboards in Netdata Cloud. By
|
|
|
-showing all available metrics from all your nodes in a single interface, Netdata Cloud helps you visualize the overall
|
|
|
-health of your infrastructure. Best of all, you don't have to worry about creating your own dashboards just to get
|
|
|
-started with infrastructure monitoring.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Let's walk through some examples of using the Overview to monitor and troubleshoot your infrastructure.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### Filter nodes and pick relevant times
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-While not exclusive to Overview, you can use two important features, [node
|
|
|
-filtering](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/node-filter.md) and the [time & date
|
|
|
-picker](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/visualization-date-and-time-controls.md), to widen or narrow your infrastructure
|
|
|
-monitoring focus.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-By default, the Overview shows composite charts aggregated from every node in the War Room, but you can change that
|
|
|
-behavior on an ad-hoc basis. The node filter allows you to create complex queries against your infrastructure based on
|
|
|
-the name, OS, or services running on nodes. For example, use `(name contains aws AND os contains ubuntu) OR services ==
|
|
|
-apache` to show only nodes that have `aws` in the hostname and are Ubuntu-based, or any nodes that have an Apache
|
|
|
-webserver running on them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The time & date picker helps you visualize both small and large timeframes depending on your goals, whether that's
|
|
|
-establishing a baseline of infrastructure performance or targeted root cause analysis of a specific anomaly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For example, use the **Quick Selector** options to pick the 12-hour option first thing in the morning to check your
|
|
|
-infrastructure for any odd behavior overnight. Use the 7-day option to observe trends between various days of the week.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-See the [War Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/organize-your-infrastrucutre-invite-your-team.md#netdata-cloud-war-rooms) docs for more details on both features.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### Configure composite charts to identify problems
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Let's say you notice a sharp decrease in available RAM for applications, as seen in the example screenshot below. In
|
|
|
-this situation, you can see when the anomalous behavior began and that it affects the average available and committed
|
|
|
-RAM across your infrastructure. However, when _grouped by dimension_, composite charts cannot show whether an anomaly
|
|
|
-affects a single node, a subset of nodes, or an entire infrastructure.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Use [_group by node_](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/overview.md#group-by-dimension-or-node) to visualize
|
|
|
-a single metric across all contributing nodes. If the composite chart has 5 contributing nodes, there will be 5
|
|
|
-lines/areas, one for the most relevant dimension from each node.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-After grouping by node, it's clear that the `Composite-Charts-01` node is experiencing anomalous behavior and should be
|
|
|
-investigated further by jumping to its [single-node dashboard](#drill-down-with-single-node-dashboards) in Netdata
|
|
|
-Cloud.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### Drill down with single-node dashboards
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Click on **X Charts** of any composite chart's definition bar to display a dropdown of contributing contexts and nodes
|
|
|
-contributing. 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 a
|
|
|
-given node to quickly _jump to the same chart in that node's single-node dashboard_ in Netdata Cloud.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can use single-node dashboards in Netdata Cloud to drill down on specific issues, scrub backward in time to
|
|
|
-investigate historical data, and see like metrics presented meaningfully to help you troubleshoot performance problems.
|
|
|
-All of the familiar [interactions](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/interact-new-charts.md) are available, as is adding any chart
|
|
|
-to a [new dashboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/dashboards.md).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-## Nodes tab
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can also use the **Nodes tab** to monitor the health status and user-configurable key metrics from multiple nodes
|
|
|
-in a War Room. Read the [Nodes tab documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/nodes.md) for details.
