## Dashboards, Panels, Rows, the building blocks of Grafana...
Dashboards are at the core of what Grafana is all about. Dashboards are composed of individual Panels arranged on a number of Rows. Grafana ships with a variety of Panels. Gafana makes it easy to construct the right queries, and customize the display properities so that you can create the perfect Dashboard for your need. Each Panel can interact with data from any configured Grafana Data Source (currently InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSDB, and KairosDB). The [Core Concepts](/guides/basic_concepts) guide explores these key ideas in detail.

> The data and log paths were not correct in the previous image. The grafana database was placed by default in /usr/share/grafana/data instead of the correct path /var/lib/grafana. This means it was not in a dir that was marked as a volume. So if you remove the container it will remove the grafana database. So before updating make sure you copy the /usr/share/grafana/data path from inside the container to the host.
In this case you skip providing a `bind_password` and instead provide a `bind_dn` value with a `%s` somewhere. This will be replaced with the username entered in on the Grafana login page.

In `[[servers.group_mappings]]` you can map an LDAP group to a Grafana organization and role. These will be synced every time the user logs in, with LDAP being the authoratative source.

So, if you change a user's role in the Grafana Org. Users page, this change will be reset the next time the user logs in. If you change the LDAP groups of a user, the change will take effect the next time the user logs in.
