###Editing dashboards Click the configure dashboard button on the top menu to the right to open the dashboard settings. Here you can set dashboard title, theme, create, delete and move rows, and much more. (More detail will be added)

###Editing Rows In the dashboard view you will have rows and panels. Each panel can have a specified span (1-12). You can configure the row height and panels by hovering over the orange marker to the left of the row and click on the configure button that will appear. This will open the row editor modal. In the row editor you can set the row height and add, delete panels and set column span for panels.

###Adding Graphs You can add the graphite (i.e. graph) panel by clicking on the plus icon that appears to the right of any row with space left. You can also add it in the Row editor modal. In the Add Panel view you should select graphite in the panel type dropdown, set title and a colspan (all can be easily changed later on).

###Editing Graphs Now that you have a graph panel you can open its edit mode by clicking on the title and select edit from the dropdown menu. This will open the graph panel in fullscreen edit mode, showing the graph being edited on top and a tabbed edit pane in the bottom.

The edit mode tabs are:

  • General : Set title, and panel span (i.e width)
  • Targets : Add / Edit graphite target expressions
  • Axis Labels : Set any axis labels
  • Style : A multitude of styling options that define how the graph should look (line width, bars, stacked, etc)

####Graphite target editor It is in the Targets tab that you will spend the majority of your time. To add a graphite target click the Add target button. This should add a target row with a "select metric" link followed by a plus icon. Click the select metric link and it should open a dropdown of the top level metric directories, select one to get another select metric link for the next segment (node), continue to you reached the leaf node.

#####Side note If at any point you find the target editor buggy or not just suitable to what you want to do. Just click the pen icon to the right top edit the target in a normal text box.

To add a function click the plus icon. Once a function has been added you can click on the function to edit parameters. The function editing and the whole clickable metric node segments is no way complete or optimal yet. There are many cases of graphite target expressions and functions that are not supported right now (like functions that take multiple series lists). But this can and will be improved in the future to support more cases. The function editing will also be improved as well as the add function menu (add quick search / autocomplete for example).
