APM Service detail

You can view each service in your infrastructure independently, exploring and inspecting trace metrics like throughput, latency, and error rates. You can subsequently use these metrics to create dashboard widgets, alerts, and see the performance of every resource — a web endpoint or database query — that belongs to the service.

Using the Service detail page

To navigate to the Service detail page, you can select and click on the specific service in the Services list, in the Databases list, or click the name of the service in the Service map.

The interface has the following information and affordances:
