 This creates a folder called 'JupyterHub Default Dashboards' in your grafana, and adds
 a couple of dashboards to it.
 
+If your Grafana deployment supports more than one datasource, then apart from the default dashboards in the [`dashboards` directory](https://github.com/jupyterhub/grafana-dashboards/tree/main/dashboards), you should also consider deploying apart the dashboards in [`global-dashboards` directory](https://github.com/jupyterhub/grafana-dashboards/tree/main/global-dashboards).

+```bash
+export GRAFANA_TOKEN="<API-TOKEN-FOR-YOUR-GRAFANA>
+./deploy.py <your-grafana-url> --dashboards-dir global-dashboards
+```
+
+The gloabal dashboards will use the list of available dashboards in your Grafana provided to them and will build dashboards across all of them.
