The **Time series reduced by applied rules** graph shows the difference between raw series and aggregated series over time. This graph appears after you have applied at least one rule.

1. Navigate to **Adaptive Telemetry** > **Adaptive Metrics**.
2. From the **Overview** page, select the segment you want to review from the **Segment** dropdown.
3. Use the time range picker to include when you first applied rules, and the period after the changes.
4. Check the graph to confirm that there was a reduction after applying the rules.
5. Click **Explore** to view more detail on the underlying metric or query.

In the next milestone, you’ll reach your journey conclusion.
