Browsing metrics
The Metrics page has two modes, toggled top-right:
- Explorer — interactive ad-hoc plotting. Pick a metric, scope it with labels, plot it.
- Analytics — a pre-built infrastructure summary for the currently-selected source (KPI tiles + Node Health + Pod/Container Analytics tables).
Both modes share the source picker (left rail) and the time picker. They serve different needs:
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Plot one specific metric over time, save as alert. | Explorer |
| Quick health snapshot for a source — top CPU consumer, restart count, pod-by-pod table. | Analytics |
| Build a reusable layout for the whole team. | Dashboards |
Source scope
Metrics is per-source. The source switcher (left rail) needs a single source selected. With "All sources", Analytics renders empty cards (no aggregation across sources is supported in this view).
