| 1 | # Metrics Tab and Single Node Tabs |
| 2 | |
| 3 | The **Metrics tab** provides real-time, per-second time series charts for all nodes in a Room. It helps you visualize, explore, and troubleshoot metrics across your entire infrastructure in one place. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | You can also view **single-node dashboards**, which offer the same charts but are focused on a single node. You can access these dashboards from most places in the Netdata UI, often by clicking the name of a node. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | From the Metrics tab, you can also access: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - The **Integrations tab** |
| 10 | - **Metric Correlations** to identify related metrics and uncover patterns across your infrastructure |

| 46 | ## How the Dashboard is Organized |
| 47 | |
| 48 | The dashboard displays various charts organized by their [context](/docs/dashboards-and-charts/netdata-charts.md#contexts). At the beginning of each section, there is a predefined arrangement of charts that provides an overview for that particular group of metrics. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | The available chart types and grouping options allow flexible data visualization for troubleshooting and analysis. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | :::tip |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Use the chart arrangement at the start of each section to quickly identify patterns, spikes, or anomalies before diving into detailed chart filtering. |

| 58 | ## Chart Navigation Menu |
| 59 | |
| 60 | The **Chart Navigation Menu**, located on the right-hand side of the dashboard, helps you navigate through sections, filter charts, and view active alerts. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | | Feature | Description | |

| 64 | | **Section Navigation** | Navigate quickly through the dashboard sections. | |
| 65 | | **Chart Filtering Options** | Filter charts by: <br/> - Host labels <br/> - Node status <br/> - Netdata version <br/> - Individual nodes | |
| 66 | | **Active Alerts Display** | View active alerts for the Room. | |
| 67 | | **Anomaly Rate (AR%) Button** | Check the maximum chart anomaly rate for each section by clicking the `AR%` button. | |
| 68 | |
| 69 | :::tip |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Use chart filtering to reduce visual noise and focus on the nodes, labels, or statuses that matter most to your investigation. |
