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.)

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.

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.

Unused import — useBaseUrl isn't referenced anywhere in this file (no <img> tags). Looks like a leftover from removing the image placeholders per the PR notes. Worth dropping this line unless screenshots are being added back before publish.

* **Reference specific features**. Use proper names when you know them: "How do I use Field Extraction Rules?" works better than "How do I extract fields?"

Heads-up: #6897 (DOCS-1548, Mobot GA overhaul, targeting ~Aug 3) replaces the Query Agent/Knowledge Agent selector UI and the comparison table this PR extends. This section and the 3-column table will likely need to be re-merged on top of #6897's restructure rather than the other way around.

It's not a separate agent, it's the capability in mobot just like monitor creation
