Metric categories help to enhance the metric browsing experience with category-based filtering. You can filter metrics using a customizable category list on both metric and Opera setpoint pages, as well as when defining formulas, making the process more efficient.

Although Koidra’s predefined categories are set as defaults, you have the flexibility to tailor them to better meet your organization’s needs, simply go to Settings > Categories. As they are part of your organisation settings, the same categories can be used across different sites and zones.
