Metrics
The Metrics panel visualizes time-series metrics from your applications. Navigate to Insights > Metrics.
Two Views
Toggle between:
- Chart view (default) — Time-series visualizations
- Table view — Raw metric data in a table
Chart View
The chart view auto-discovers available metric names and displays time-series charts. Each chart shows metric values over the selected time range, bucketed by minute, hour, or day depending on the range.
Charts adapt to the metric type:
| Metric Type | Visualization |
|---|---|
| Gauge | Line chart showing values over time |
| Sum | Area chart, optionally grouped by service |
| Histogram | Summary chart with average, min, and max values |
Table View
The table shows raw metric entries with these columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
metric_name | The name of the metric |
metric_type | gauge, sum, or histogram |
value_double / value_int | The metric value |
service_name | The originating service |
received_at | When the metric was received |
Filters
- Time range — Last hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days
- Metric type — Filter by gauge, sum, or histogram
- Metric name — Filter by specific metric name
- Service — Filter by service name
TIP
To send metrics from your applications, use the Air API's metric ingestion endpoint. See Sending Telemetry Data.
