## Tags

Tags refers to the key-value pairs that you can assign to various monitored entities within an environment. These entities can include hosts, processes, services, applications and more. Tags are used to organize monitoring data and analysis based on all related entities in all parts of the system, facilitating streamlined organization, analysis, and correlation of data across various components.

For e.g. you can define tags to segregate different environments, applications and services in the following manner:

- env: prod
- app: my_app
- service: login

Note: The values for the tags will be configured from the backend.

- This section has a number of dropdown's as a number of hierarchical components present on selected metrics e.g. If the meta data of the selected metric is Tier>Server>Instance, then there are three dropdowns. Each dropdown has 3 values:

- Same:- It will search with a specific selected value of this subject.
- All:- It will search with all values of this subject.
- Pattern:- In this case the user needs to give a pattern and based on that pattern it will search the metrics. For example, if pattern is 'System*' then it will search those subject which started with 'System'
