# Web dashboards overview
|
|
|
|
The default port is 19999; for example, to access the dashboard on localhost, use: http://localhost:19999
|
|
|
|
To view Netdata collected data you access its **[REST API v1](api/)**.
|
|
|
|
For our convenience, Netdata provides 2 more layers:
|
|
|
|
1. The `dashboard.js` javascript library that allows us to design custom dashboards using plain HTML. For information on creating custom dashboards, see **[Custom Dashboards](gui/custom/)** and **[Atlassian Confluence Dashboards](gui/confluence/)**
|
|
|
|
2. Ready to be used web dashboards that render all the charts a Netdata server maintains.
|
|
|
|
## Customizing the standard dashboards
|
|
|
|
Charts information is stored at /usr/share/netdata/web/[dashboard_info.js](gui/dashboard_info.js). This file includes information that is rendered on the dashboard, controls chart colors, section and subsection heading, titles, etc.
|
|
|
|
If you change that file, your changes will be overwritten when Netdata is updated. You can preserve your settings by creating a new such file (there is /usr/share/netdata/web/[dashboard_info_custom_example.js](gui/dashboard_info_custom_example.js) you can use to start with).
|
|
|
|
You have to copy the example file under a new name, so that it will not be overwritten with Netdata updates.
|
|
|
|
To configure your info file set in `netdata.conf`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[web]
|
|
custom dashboard_info.js = your_file_name.js
|
|
```
