# Metrics

This page allows to plot graphs of methods invocations and other key-value metrics. 

For methods graphs, you need to select the <mark style="color:blue;">`Method`</mark> option in the <mark style="color:blue;">`Metric Type`</mark> field. Next in the <mark style="color:blue;">`Class`</mark> field, you need to specify a pattern for the class name you search for. You must specify at least three characters to retrieve a list of classes whose names contain the specified characters. The pattern you specify will be sought in the class names only, without the package part. If you select one of the classes, a list of its methods will be retrieved.
