## Find and read your dashboards

After Alloy starts collecting and sending data, your prebuilt dashboards are ready in Grafana Cloud.

## Open a dashboard

Find your integration’s dashboards in three steps:

1. Click **Dashboards** in the main menu.
2. Open the integration’s folder. For example, the Linux server integration creates a **Linux Node** folder.
3. Select a dashboard to open it. For example, **Nodes** is a good starting dashboard for the Linux server integration.

## Read what you see

- **Refresh**: Reruns the queries to pull the latest data.
- **Variables**: Filter the dashboard, for example by instance
