## Overview
|
|
Chronograf allows you to quickly see data you have stored in InfluxDB so you can build robust queries and alerts. After your administrator has set up Chronograf as described in [Installing Chronograf](/chronograf/v1/introduction/installation), get started with key features using the guides below.
|
|
|
|
### Data visualization
|
|
* Investigate your data by building queries using the [Data Explorer](/chronograf/v1/guides/querying-data/).
|
|
* Use [pre-created dashboards](/chronograf/v1/guides/using-precreated-dashboards/) to monitor your application data or [create your own dashboards](/chronograf/v1/guides/create-a-dashboard/).
|
|
* Customize dashboards using [template variables](/chronograf/v1/guides/dashboard-template-variables/).
|
|
|
|
### Alerting
|
|
* [Create alert rules](/chronograf/v1/guides/create-alert-rules/) to generate threshold, relative, and deadman alerts on your data.
|
|
* [View all active alerts](/chronograf/v1/guides/create-alert-rules/#step-2-view-the-alerts) on an alert dashboard.
|
|
* Use [alert endpoints](/chronograf/v1/guides/configuring-alert-endpoints/) in Chronograf to send alert messages to specific URLs and applications.
|
|
|
|
### Infrastructure monitoring
|
|
* [View all hosts](/chronograf/v1/guides/monitoring-influxenterprise-clusters/#step-4-explore-the-monitoring-data-in-chronograf) and their statuses in your infrastructure.
|
|
* [Use pre-created dashboards](/chronograf/v1/guides/using-precreated-dashboards/) to monitor your applications.
