1 # Spaces and Rooms
2
3 This guide explains how you can effectively organize your infrastructure monitoring using Netdata Cloud.
4
5 ## Overview
6
7 You can organize your monitoring with two primary concepts that work together.
8
9 **Spaces** serve as your primary collaboration environment where you organize team members and manage access levels, connect nodes for monitoring, and create a unified monitoring environment.
10
11 **Rooms** function as organizational units within Spaces that provide infrastructure-wide dashboards, real-time metrics visualization, focused monitoring views, and flexible node grouping.
12
13 **Key Relationship:** Each node can only belong to **one** Space, but you can assign a node to **multiple** Rooms within that Space.
14
15 ## Getting Started
16
17 ### Create Your Space
18
19 1. Use the left-most sidebar to switch between Spaces
20 2. Click the plus (**+**) icon to create a new Space
21
22 :::tip
23
24 You can create multiple Spaces, but we recommend using a single Space for most use cases. All team members in a Space can access its monitoring data based on their assigned roles.

28 ### Set Up Team Access
29
30 1. Click "Invite Users" in the Space's sidebar
31 2. Set appropriate access levels:
32 - Rooms
33 - User roles
34
35 :::tip
36
37 **Best Practices for Team Access:** Invite all relevant team members (SRE, DevOps, ITOps) and configure role-based access control. Maintain clear permission hierarchies and conduct regular access reviews and updates.

56 ### Room Organization Strategies
57
58 | Strategy | Use Case | Examples |
59 |---------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
60 | **Service-Based Organization** | Group nodes by **specific services**, **purpose**, **location**, or **infrastructure type** | **Nginx**, **MySQL**, **Pulsar**, **webserver**, **database**, **application**, **physical location**, **bare metal**, **containers**, **cloud provider** |
61 | **End-to-End Application Monitoring** | Create Rooms for **complete application stacks** and **service dependencies** | **Complete SaaS product stacks**, **internal service dependencies**, **full application ecosystems** including **Kubernetes clusters**, **Docker containers**, **Proxies**, **Databases**, **Web servers**, **Message brokers** |
62 | **Incident Response** | Create dedicated Rooms for **troubleshooting** and **problem resolution** | **Active incident investigation**, **problem diagnosis**, **performance troubleshooting**, **root cause analysis** |
