I have added to monitoring tutorial for admins section where I describe how they can join (for testing and monitoring purposes) Galaxy Job Radar central visualization at CESNET (https://gjr.metacentrum.cz/). We were thinking that this is probably the best place where we can put the tutorial so that any galaxy admin who would like to join the visualization can find the information.

1) Your Galaxy needs to be sending data to your InfluxDB via [gxadmin scripts](https://github.com/usegalaxy-eu/infrastructure-playbook/tree/master/roles/usegalaxy-eu.job-radar-stats-influxdb)
1) You give us access to read the InfluxDB (we need: `influxdb_password_var_name;influxdb_host;influxdb_port;influxdb_username`) and some basic information about your server (we need: `name;lat;long;`)
1) You send us information about your Pulsar servers (we need: `galaxy;pulsar_id;lat;long;node_count;desc`)
1) Wait few days and your Galaxy and Pulsars show up at [https://gjr.metacentrum.cz](https://gjr.metacentrum.cz)

I assume you want this to render as a list? Then you need periods in stead of parentheses (and I'm adding proper numbering for readability):
