Metrics Dashboard Tool

The Metrics Dashboard tool displays your application and environment's performance metrics. You can look at everything from CPU usage to completed operations. The dashboard also includes filters to help you view metrics across a date and time range, or a specific date and time. After you set your filters, performance metrics display in user-friendly charts. Hover over each chart to view precise measurements at that date and time. Or, export and print any of the charts to share with your team.

Filtering the Metrics Dashboard

After you've made your filter selections, the results populate the Charts section of the dashboard. When you open the tool, the date and time range sets automatically and display performance metrics for the last four hours. You can use these defaults or change them as needed.

Here's an example of how the Filters section looks on the Metrics Dashboard:

You can use the following filters:

Filter	Description
Client	Your Unqork client credentials. These automatically populate when you open the tool. You cannot adjust this field.
Environment	Your current Unqork environment. This field automatically populates when you open the tool. You cannot adjust this field.
Start Date	The start date you want to filter the application and database metrics. This field automatically populates with your current date.
Start Time	The start time you want to filter the application and database metrics. This field automatically populates with the time 4 hours before you opened the tool. The tool uses your current timezone.
End Date	The end date you want to filter the application and database metrics. This field automatically populates with your current date.
Start Time	The end time you want to filter the application and database metrics. This field automatically populates with the exact time you opened the tool. The tool uses your current timezone.

To change the date and time range:

From the data picker, select a Start Date.
In the Start Time field, enter a time based on the 24-hour clock.
From the data picker, select an End Date.
In the End Time field, enter a time based on the 24-hour clock.

Navigating the Charts

The Metrics Dashboard consists of the following charts:

Application Server charts
Database Server charts

These charts populate based on the date and time you choose in the dashboard's filters. Your date and time selections display as the horizontal axis of the charts. The vertical axis depends on the chart.

Let's take a look at each chart.
