This information is segmented by each of the [available dimensions](#available-dimensions) and the graph displays the top five values. You can select the dimensions through the different tabs above the graph and quickly filter for or exclude a certain value from the results by hovering over it and selecting **Filter** or **Exclude**.

<Details header="Processing time and response time"> Processing time refers to the total time taken to handle a query within DNS Firewall, meaning cached queries served directly from Cloudflare's servers. For uncached queries, the metric used is response time, which considers the time to get the answers from your upstream nameservers. The processing and response times are displayed in milliseconds.</Details>

<Details header="90th percentile (p90)"> Aside from the average for both processing and response times, `p90` values show you the maximum time that 90% of queries took to resolve. For example, if the p90 is 1 millisecond, it means 90% of the queries were resolved in 1 millisecond or less.</Details>
