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. To display more details of an event, click on the event in the table.

For the administrator, by default the platform displays the metrics for the current enterprise. To display metrics for another enterprise, select the enterprise or switch to it. 

For the cloud user, the Metrics tab displays the metrics for the enterprise's virtual datacenters without the Enterprises list or the enterprise statistics.
