This dashboard displays custom metric measurements pulled from the selected
measurement source.

*Custom Metrics dashboard showing measurement data with time-series results*


Top controls
- Measurement selector: a dropdown to choose which measurement to query.
- Time filter: applies the selected time window to the query.

Data table
- The table below the selector shows the measurement data for the chosen
  measurement and time range. Typical columns include timestamp, value, and
  any measurement tags or labels.
- The dashboard retrieves up to 10,000 data points for the selected query.
  If the time range or measurement produces more points, results are truncated
  to this limit.

Usage notes
- Select the desired measurement, choose an appropriate time window, and
  refresh the view to populate the table.
- Narrow the time range or apply server/instance filters when results are
  truncated due to the 10,000‑point limit.
- Export or copy table rows for offline analysis if needed.

Future capability
- We are working on support for creating custom dashboards directly from
  these measurements. This feature is in development and will be available
  soon.
