Metrics Tab and Single Node Tabs

The Metrics tab provides real-time, per-second time series charts for all nodes in a Room. It helps you visualize, explore, and troubleshoot metrics across your entire infrastructure in one place.

You can also view single-node dashboards, which offer the same charts but are focused on a single node. You can access these dashboards from most places in the Netdata UI, often by clicking the name of a node.

From the Metrics tab, you can also access:

The Integrations tab
Metric Correlations to identify related metrics and uncover patterns across your infrastructure

How the Dashboard is Organized

The dashboard displays various charts organized by their context. At the beginning of each section, there is a predefined arrangement of charts that provides an overview for that particular group of metrics.

The available chart types and grouping options allow flexible data visualization for troubleshooting and analysis.

:::tip

Use the chart arrangement at the start of each section to quickly identify patterns, spikes, or anomalies before diving into detailed chart filtering.

:::

The Chart Navigation Menu, located on the right-hand side of the dashboard, helps you navigate through sections, filter charts, and view active alerts.

Feature	Description
Section Navigation	Navigate quickly through the dashboard sections.
Chart Filtering Options	Filter charts by:

Host labels
Node status
Netdata version
Individual nodes | | Active Alerts Display | View active alerts for the Room. | | Anomaly Rate (AR%) Button | Check the maximum chart anomaly rate for each section by clicking the AR% button. |

:::tip

Use chart filtering to reduce visual noise and focus on the nodes, labels, or statuses that matter most to your investigation.

The AR% button shows the maximum anomaly rate for each dashboard section, helping you quickly identify where issues may be occurring.
