You’ve seen what the Drilldown apps are and why they matter. Now it’s time to learn how to use them.

In this section, you’ll explore Grafana Metrics Drilldown, the queryless interface for investigating Prometheus-compatible metrics. You’ll learn how it organizes data, what the exploration workflow looks like, and how to add findings to dashboards.

Then you’ll complete a hands-on learning path where you’ll navigate real metrics, filter by labels, and investigate time series visually.
