Purpose of this pull request

This pull request documents the new "Add Panel to Dashboard" skill in Mobot, which lets you create dashboard panels from plain-language prompts instead of configuring them manually in the dashboard UI.

Changes:

  • New docs/dashboards/create-panel-with-mobot.md — supported panel/visualization types (logs only; standard, advanced, and distribution/summary chart types), the create walkthrough, multi-panel requests, limitations, and FAQ.
  • docs/search/mobot.md — registers the new skill, kept explicitly distinct from Mobot's two agents (Query Agent, Knowledge Agent) since it has no separate menu or selector — you type the prompt directly into Mobot's chat.
  • sidebars.ts — adds the new page to the Dashboards sidebar.
  • docs/dashboards/create-dashboard-new.md — cross-reference tip.
  • New blog-service/2026-08-01-dashboards.md — release note.

Notes for reviewers:

  • Framed as GA per product confirmation (not a preview feature).
  • Content sourced from the DOCS-1766 ticket plus a demo video (transcribed and frame-sampled locally); image placeholders were removed per author edits, so screenshots may still be needed before publish.
  • Scoped to "Add Panel to Dashboard" only — the broader "Conversational Dashboards" capabilities (summarization, anomaly detection, time-range comparison, drilldown Q&A) mentioned in related material are a different, larger initiative and are out of scope for this ticket.

Select the type of change

  • Minor Changes - Typos, formatting, slight revisions
  • Update Content - Revisions, updating sections
  • New Content - New features, sections, pages, tutorials
  • Site and Tools - .clabot, version updates, maintenance, dependencies, new packages for the site (Docusaurus, Gatsby, React, etc.)

Heads-up: docs/search/mobot.md is getting a significant restructure in #6897 (DOCS-1548, targeting ~Aug 3), which replaces the Query Agent/Knowledge Agent selector UI with a unified interface. This PR's changes to that same file (comparison table, new section) will likely need to be reconciled with that overhaul — worth sequencing the merges deliberately. /cc @margaret-selid @tp-sl — flagging since this affects Mobot docs.

Nice new page, matches the established Mobot-doc pattern well (structure, FAQ, limitations, sidebar/link wiring all check out).

One thing worth a follow-up look before this goes out: uncommenting ### Conversational Dashboards in mobot/index.md also publishes the "Mobot also helps you read a dashboard" bullets (Summarization, Anomaly detection, Time-range comparison, Drilldown questions) as GA — but the PR description calls those out as a separate, out-of-scope initiative. Worth double-checking those four are actually ready to ship alongside panel creation, or re-commenting just that part if not.

Approving.

Add a new page covering the Mobot skill that creates dashboard panels from
plain-language prompts: supported panel/visualization types, the create
walkthrough, multi-panel requests, and limitations. Register the skill in
the Mobot page (kept distinct from the two agents), add a sidebar entry
and a cross-link from Create a Dashboard, and add a service release note.

Leftover from removing image placeholders; the doc has no <img> tags.
…boards section

Uncomment the Conversational Dashboards block now that it's GA, and remove
the separate Add Panel to Dashboard subsection since its content duplicated
what's already covered there. Link the Conversational Dashboards paragraph
to the panel-creation walkthrough doc.

Per SME confirmation (Ayan Ghatak), only Add Panel to Dashboard and Add Monitor ship this release. Summarization, anomaly detection, time-range comparison, and drilldown Q&A are not yet released, so keep them behind the uncomment-once-GA comment.

@amee-sumo Confirmed with the SME (Ayan Ghatak) — only Add Panel to Dashboard and Add Monitor ship this release. The "read a dashboard" capabilities (Summarization, Anomaly detection, Time-range comparison, Drilldown questions) have not been released.

Pushed a fix (e9437598e) that re-comments those four bullets and their related known limitations back behind the Uncomment once Mobot can also read a dashboard you have open marker, keeping only the panel-creation content live. This also resolves the merge conflict that was blocking the PR — rebased onto latest main in the process.

Add a sentence on how the Mobot skill works, matching the depth of other recent Mobot release notes.

- Remove the /docs/dashboards/create-panel-with-mobot redirect from cid-redirects.json, now that a real page exists at that path (was colliding with the redirect plugin).
- Fix two links in create-panel-with-mobot.md pointing to /docs/search/mobot/mobot-example-prompts instead of the doc's actual path, /docs/search/mobot/example-prompts.
