+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+OpenTelemetry metrics must be enabled on the instance. For configuration instructions, see [AUTOTITLE](/admin/monitoring-and-managing-your-instance/monitoring-your-instance/opentelemetry-metrics/configuring-opentelemetry-for-your-instance).
+
+## Navigating to the monitor dashboards
+
+{% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.access-settings %}
+{% data reusables.enterprise_site_admin_settings.management-console %}
+{% data reusables.enterprise_management_console.type-management-console-password %}
+1. Click the **Monitor** tab.
+
+
+### Metric labels
+
+The OpenTelemetry stack exporters automatically attach labels to metrics. Common labels are:
+
+* `job` — the name of the exporter that produced the metric
+* `instance` — the instance name from which the metric originated
+
+For some exporters (like `node_exporter` or `haproxy_exporter`), open-source documentation may be available by searching for the `job` label value.
+
+Label availability varies by exporter and metric. Some GitHub application-level metrics may provide fewer labels than infrastructure/exporter metrics, and labels are subject to change from version to version.
+
+
+## Inspecting panel queries
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] Pre-built dashboards can be opened and edited for inspection, but changes cannot be saved. Create a copy of a dashboard to apply and retain any customizations.
+
+To understand which metrics and queries power a given panel, use the graph panel menu *(3 vertical dots)* when viewing a Grafana dashboard:
+
+* **Edit**: Opens the panel editor. This is the most direct way to review and adjust the queries that power the visualization.  
+* **Explore**: Opens Grafana Explore with the panel’s queries pre-populated, allowing interactive analysis.  
+* **Metrics Drilldown**: Opens a side panel for discovering related metrics and breaking down the metric by label values.
+
+## Exploring metrics in Grafana
+
+Grafana provides multiple ways to discover and analyze the metrics available on your instance.
+
+### Grafana Drilldown
+
+Grafana Drilldown provides a guided workflow to discover metrics by filtering on metric prefixes, labels, and label values. After selecting a metric, Grafana can break down the series by available label values. For example, `haproxy_backend_response_errors_total` can be grouped by proxy/back-end label values.
+
+### Grafana Explore
+
+Grafana Explore enables interactive analysis using PromQL (Prometheus Query Language), including a query builder that can help users discover available metrics and labels.
+
+Tips for working in Grafana Explore:
+
+* Use **Code mode's Metric browser** to discover metrics and labels. Selecting labels and label values can reveal associated metrics, and selecting a metric can reveal associated labels and label values.
+* After selecting a metric, switch to **Builder mode** for suggestions to refine the query.
+* Access additional operations via the **+ Operations** button.
+* Customize legend labels in the **Options** panel using the **Legend** setting, for example `{{<label_name>}}`. By default, Grafana assigns legend labels based on unique label sets.
