[aerogear-dev] Adding a dashboard to Grafana

//taking cover already as I'm about to ask people to name things

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:
