The metrics list shows, per metric: Metric name, Type, Service, Unit, Latest value, number of Points, and Last Seen. Each metric can be filtered by: * **Attributes** - the metric's own data-point attributes. * **Resource attributes** - service, environment, and other resource-level attributes. * **Scope attributes** - instrumentation scope metadata. * **Field** - top-level metric fields (name, unit, type). Metrics cover gauge, sum, histogram, summary, and exponential-histogram types, matching the OpenTelemetry metrics data model. ## Metric detail view Opening a metric shows summary tiles (Latest, Total, Average, Loaded Points, Last Seen), a **Metric Trend** area chart of its data points over time, and a tabbed attributes panel: Metric Attributes, Resource Attributes, Scope Attributes, plus raw **Points** and **Series** tabs for the underlying data. You can still build custom **Dashboard Widgets** on top of the same metrics data for cross-signal visualizations, trend charts, and alert-style stat tiles - the Metrics explorer and Dashboards read from the same underlying data and are complementary, not either/or. *** Build cross-signal visualizations and trend charts on top of the same metrics data
