**Discover** offers a dedicated experience for exploring metrics data. When **Discover** recognizes metrics data, it enables specific features or default behaviors to optimize your data exploration. Metrics-specific exploration in Discover automatically generates an grid of charts showing available metrics from your data. Use it to quickly search and filter metrics, break metrics down by dimension, access them using ES|QL, and add metrics to dashboards with a single click.
