Accessing Metrics Explorer
To view, click Eng Intelligence > Metrics Explorer from the main nav.
Using Metrics Explorer
Configure a graph
On the Metrics Explorer page, click Select data point.
On the left side of the modal, select a data point. On the right side, depending on which metric you choose, you can select an operation.
At the bottom of the modal, click View metric.
A graph of the metric is displayed, by default using a time range of the last 7 days. Below the graph, see an overview of metrics segmented per team, author, and repository.
Click into any of the metric points at the bottom of the page to drill in, seeing the data behind the metric.
Filter the graph
You can filter a graph by time range, teams, author, and repository.
Filter by time range
Click the time range in the upper right corner of the graph. Select a new time range and configure the dates. The graph will automatically reload as you select a time range.
To change the grouping of the time range in the graph, click Display in the upper right corner. You can choose whether to display the data grouped by day, week, or month.
Filter by team, author, or repository
When you are done adding filters, click Apply at the bottom of the filter modal.
Sort the columns
You can sort the data below the graph. Click Sort, then select an option.
Share a report
After selecting a data point and applying filters, you can share the browser URL with other people who have access to your Cortex workspace. The URL query parameters include timestamps, so the shared Metrics Explorer page will reflect the same results across different timezones.
