- Open new dasboard where you want to see Hastic panel
- Open Dashboard `Settings` (top right corner) and then navigate to `Variables` 
- Add new [variable](http://docs.grafana.org/reference/templating/#variable-types) 
  - set `type` to `Constant`
  - set `name` to `HASTIC_SERVER_URL` 
  - set `value` to URL of your hastic-server instance in your dashboard (e.g. `http://localhost:8000`)
- Save settings and close Settings window
- Open panel edit mode (click `panel title`menu or press "e" hotkey)
- Navigate to `Metrics` tab. Set metrics. Only one metric suported
- Navigate to `Analytics tab`
  - Push `Add an Anomaly Type` button
  - Set name of the anomaly and choose a pattern type
  - Press `create`
- Label your data:
  - Click button with chart icon
  - Highlight anomalies on graph holding `Ctrl` button on Windows or `Cmd` on Mac
  - When you have finished labeling - click the button with the chart icon once more. `saving...` status should appear.
- `Learning` status should appear while hastic-server is learning (first learning can take a while).
- When `Learning` status dissapears - the anomalies should become labeled in your graph
