├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Detailed Metrics (Tables/Heatmaps) │
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### 2. RED Method (Services)
- **Rate** - Requests per second
- **Errors** - Error rate
- **Duration** - Latency/response time
### 3. USE Method (Resources)
- **Utilization** - % time resource is busy
- **Saturation** - Queue length/wait time
- **Errors** - Error count
