Hi,
Thanks for suggestions, I think 'Creating a dashboard in Grafana' is the
right way to go.
Let me explain my motivation here, I was reading the doc as an idiot
(which i found worryingly easy yesterday). If I don't know what Grafana
is, then mention of 'Grafana dashboards' or 'adding dashboards to
Grafana' prompts a question 'what is Grafana?'.
I think we want to mention Grafana, for many reasons, but I hope that
'Creating a dashboard in Grafana' prompts the question 'where is
Grafana?' and that users unfamiliar with the name will intuit it as an
App/Location instead of a new piece in a poorly fitting jigsaw.
(Jose, I like your addition of context, mentioning the metrics service,
but I'm hoping that will be obvious to the user by location of the
Grafana topics and the introductory text.)

it talks about creating a dashboard, and that dashboards are at
the core of Grafana.
So, 'creating a dashboard in Grafana'?

You don't add a table to Postgres, you add a table to a database,
You don't Firefox a web site.
and in general, you don't add <item> to <product>, you add
<item> to
<function or component>
so, I don't like the phrase 'adding a dashboard to Grafana'
I suppose we might 'add a dashboard to the Grafana instance',
but that
seems wordy,
And everyone is busy, so I'm going to say either:
a) add a dashboard to the Grafana instance
b) add a dashboard to <AeroGear Reports>
Note: I've spoken to a few ppl about this, and they're looking
at me
funny, but I'd like to point out that this is what I'm basing
my view on
the fact that a dashboard is not supposed to be a mere
visualization:
