+Visualizing Benchmarks using SPOT
+---------------------------------
+
+If you have access to LC, you can go to the following website and enter a directory in CZ/ RZ that contains Caliper
+files:
+
+- `SPOT CZ <https://lc.llnl.gov/spot2>`_
+- `SPOT RZ <https://rzlc.llnl.gov/spot2>`_
+
+.. note::
+  There is a bug in SPOT where if you remove Caliper files from a directory, they still show up on SPOT - if you've
+  visualized them previously. The current workaround is by removing the ``llnl.gov`` site cache manually.
