 configuration data and Alerts API for creating and subscribing to alerts in Kapacitor. All source code, tests and 
 configuration files of the service can be found in the **src/service** folder.
 
+#### Notes
+* Interacting with *Chronograf* - use ***http://<clmc-host>/chronograf***. You will be asked to enter connection details.
+The only input that you need to edit is the *Connection String* - set it to **http://<clmc-host>:8086** and click the
+**Add Source** button.
+
+* Interacting with *Kapacitor* - the Kapacitor HTTP API documentation can be found here: https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.4/working/api/
+Notice that all of the URL paths provided by Kapacitor are already namespaced using base path ***/kapacitor/v1***. Therefore, no other prefix is required
+when interacting with the Kapacitor application running on the clmc container, e.g.  
+***http://<clmc-host>/kapacitor/v1/tasks***  
+as described in the Kapacitor API reference.
+
+* Interacting with *InfluxDB* - the InfluxDB HTTP API documentation can be found here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.5/tools/api/
+In order to interact with the InfluxDB application running on the clmc container, prefix all URL paths in the documentation 
+with **/influxdb**, e.g.  
+***http://<clmc-host>/influxdb/query***
+
+* Interacting with *neo4j* - use ***http://localhost/neo4j/browser/***. This will open the neo4j browser, which lets you
+interact with the graph using Cypher queries (if necessary).
+
+* Interacting with *clmc-serivce* - the API endpoints listed in the following sections relate to direct interactions with the clmc-service 
+application server (listening on port 9080). If interacting with the clmc container, all of the listed below URIs must be prefixed 
+with **/clmc-service** so that the nginx reverse proxy server (listening on port 80) can forward to requests to the correct application, e.g.  
+***http://<clmc-host>/clmc-service/alerts?sfc={service function chain id}&sfci={service function chain instance id}&policy={policy id}&trigger={trigger id}***.
