Priorities Metrics

The Metrics tab in the Priorities module provides a comprehensive overview and management system for priorities. It aims to give security teams a centralized place to track priority remediation efforts and related findings and assets.

Users have the ability to filter by various criteria, utilize charts for in-depth analysis, and gain insights into top findings, asset tags, and severity breakdowns.

This page is available by clicking Metrics from the Priorities home page.

Overview

The page is divided into multiple sections to help users quickly navigate and access the information. The modular layout ensures that each topic is self-contained, allowing users to find relevant details more efficiently.

Removing Fields

The fields displayed in a graph can be modified by clicking the field name above the chart to delete it. Once removed, the field is shown in grey.

Although the field is removed for display purposes, it does not change the overall calculation of the metrics.

Click a field that is greyed out to add it back.

Additional Context

Some graphics provide more details by hovering over the image with the cursor.

Clicking results (when available) within a graphic will launch a side drawer with more information about the priorities being referenced.
