Metrics: dashboards and Explore

Metrics gives you direct access to the metrics behind every page in Terma. Use Explore to ask a one-off question, and Dashboards to keep the charts you come back to.

​

Derived and ingested metrics

Every metric carries one of two badges:

• Derived — computed by Terma, the same for every agent. Use these to compare across sources.
• Ingested — exported by each agent as-is. These carry detail specific to one agent.

​

Explore

Open Metrics → Explore to build a query:

1. Choose a metric from Recent, Derived by Terma — Normalized across harnesses, or Ingested from harnesses.
2. Choose a measurement. Counters offer Increase, Rate / second, and Latest value; gauges offer Latest value; histograms offer Average, Observations, Observation sum, Median (estimated), and p95 (estimated).
3. Filter by attribute and value, and split into a series per value of up to four attributes.
4. Pick a time range — 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h, 12h, 1d (the default), 7d, or 30d — and a chart style: Line, Area, Bars, or Stacked.

Select Edit as PromQL to write the query yourself, and Add query to plot several on one chart. The legend shows each series’ latest, peak, and total; click a series to show only it, or shift-click to toggle it. Not sure where to start? The empty page suggests Spend by model, Tokens by harness, Model calls by provider, and Spend by person. Copy link shares the exact query, Auto-refresh updates it every 30 seconds, and Add to dashboard saves it to an existing or new dashboard.

​

Dashboards

Open Metrics → Dashboards to see your dashboards, each with a live preview.

​

Create a dashboard

Select New dashboard and choose:

• Blank — start empty, with room for up to 24 widgets
• From a template — start from one of Terma’s templates

Give it a name and description, and choose the time window it Opens on.

​

Edit a dashboard

Select Edit to drag and resize widgets, and Add widget to add one. Changes save automatically, and you can undo them. A widget is one of: Each widget holds up to six queries, built with the metric picker or written in PromQL. A widget can follow the dashboard’s time window or pin its own. From a widget’s menu you can edit, open it in Explore, duplicate, resize, or delete it.

​

View a dashboard

Choose a time window — 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours (the default), 7 days, or 30 days. The window is part of the URL, so Copy link shares exactly what you see.
