Using the Metrics list

Overview

This topic explains how to view, search, and filter metrics in LaunchDarkly. The Metrics list is the central location for reviewing and managing all metrics in a project. From this list, you can find metrics by name, tag, maintainer, or type, and understand how they connect to experiments, guarded rollouts, and metric groups.

The Metrics list.

The Metrics list.

Open the metrics list from the left navigation under Metrics.

Search and browse metrics

The metrics list displays all metrics defined in the selected project and environment. Each row includes:

  • Name and description
  • Type, such as Custom numeric or Clicked or tapped
  • Maintainer
  • Tags
  • Connections to experiments, guarded rollouts, and metric groups

Use the search bar to find a metric by name or description. Select a metric name to open its details page and review its configuration, activity, and connections.

To learn more about metric details, read Creating and managing metrics.

Filter and sort the list

Select Filters at the top of the list to narrow the view by any of the following attributes:

  • Tags
  • Maintainer
  • Metric type
  • Connections to experiments or guarded rollouts

You can apply more than one filter at a time. The filter bar remains visible while you browse so you can adjust filters without leaving the list.

You can also sort the list by:

  • Metric age, newest or oldest
  • Name, A–Z or Z–A
  • Number of connections to experiments or guarded rollouts

Filtering and sorting help you focus on the metrics most relevant to your current work.

Tabs in the metrics section

The metrics section includes several tabs for viewing related resources:

  • Metrics: the default list of individual metrics
  • Metric groups: reusable collections of metrics that standardize measurement across teams. To learn more, read Metric groups
  • Connections: a summary of how metrics are linked to experiments, guarded rollouts, and other LaunchDarkly features

Use the tabs to switch between metrics, metric groups, and connections without leaving the metrics section.

Filter metrics and filter the metrics list

Filtering the Metrics list and filtering an individual metric are different:

  • Filtering the metrics list changes which metrics appear in the UI. It helps you find and organize metrics, but does not affect data collection or analysis.
  • Filtering a metric limits which events LaunchDarkly includes when it calculates results. For example, you can restrict a metric to events where country = "CA" or plan = "enterprise".

To learn how to apply filters to a metric’s event data, read Filtering custom metric events.
