# Getting started with Yandex Monitoring

In this tutorial, you will create a dashboard with widgets displaying the Yandex Cloud resource status.

{% note info %}

Yandex Monitoring automatically creates service dashboards with widgets displaying the status of your cloud resources.

If you do not have any resources, create a ClickHouse® VM and cluster for this example.
