This page describes the Metrics tab of the default dashboard and the widgets that are on this tab. You can find these widgets in the widget catalogue and use them on other dashboard tabs.
For the monitoring and metrics system, see VM monitoring and metrics and Configure VM monitoring and metrics
On the default Home view dashboard, the Metrics tab provides an overview of the resources an enterprise is using on the platform.
To jump straight to a resource, click on the resource name in a table.
