### Images & Content
All markdown files are located in this repo (main grafana repo). But all images are added to the https://github.com/grafana/website repo. So the process of adding images is a bit complicated.
All markdown files are part of [this repository](https://github.com/grafana/grafana). However, all images are added to the [website repository](https://github.com/grafana/website). Therefore, the process of adding images is not as straightforward. These are the steps:
First you need create a feature (PR) branch of https://github.com/grafana/website so you can make change. Then add the image to the `/static/img/docs` directory. Then make a commit that adds the image.
1. Ensure you create a feature branch within the [website repository](https://github.com/grafana/website) to make the change. This branch needs to be based on the `old-docs` branch.
2. Ensure the image(s) are compressed and optimised e.g. Using [tinypng](https://tinypng.com/)
2. Add the image(s) to the `/static/img/docs` directory
3. Then, make a commit that adds the image(s)
4. The Pull Request you create needs to target where you branched off, the branch `old-docs`
Then run:
Finally, run:
```
make docs-build
```
This will rebuild the docs docker container.
This will rebuild the docs docker image.
To be able to use the image you have to quit (CTRL-C) the `make watch` command (that you run in the same directory as this README). Then simply rerun `make watch`, it will restart the docs server but now with access to your image.

### Editing content
Changes to the markdown files should automatically cause a docs rebuild and live reload should reload the page in your browser.
### Troubleshooting
#### Running `make watch` errors out with `Warning: Task "default" not found.`
Ensure that the docker image from the [website repository](https://github.com/grafana/website) is built using the `old-docs` branch.

## LDAP Debug View
> Only available in Grafana v6.4+
Grafana has an LDAP debug view built-in which allows you to test your LDAP configuration directly within Grafana. At the moment of writing, only Grafana admins can use the LDAP debug view.
Within this view, you'll be able to see which LDAP servers are currently reachable and test your current configuration.
{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/ldap_debug.png" class="docs-image--no-shadow" max-width="600px" >}}
To use the debug view:
1. Type the username of a user that exists within any of your LDAP server(s)
2. Then, press "Run"
3. If the user is found within any of your LDAP instances, the mapping information is displayed
