You can view the evolution of performance metrics for individual flows in your applications that are
deployed to servers on premises (hybrid or Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition).

## Enable Flow Metrics for Hybrid

When you deploy a new application to a hybrid deployment environment, the flow metrics feature is
not enabled by default. To enable flow metrics, your account must be granted one of the following
permissions.

- **Manage Application Data**

- **Create Applications**

- **Manage Settings**

To enable flow metrics:

1.  From Runtime Manager, click **Applications**.

2.  Select the application where you want to enable flow metrics, then click **Manage Application**.

3.  Click **Settings**, then select the **Flow Monitoring** tab.

4.  Select **Enabled**.

5.  Click **Apply Changes**.

## Access Flow Metrics

To view flow metrics, you must have the Read Application permission for the desired applications.

1.  Select the **Applications** tab in Runtime Manager.

2.  Enter a running application’s settings (either by clicking the **Manage Application** button on
    the side panel, or the application name itself in the table).

3.  Select the **Flows** tab on the left side bar.

4.  Select one or multiple flows.

## Verify the Status of Servers

If your application is deployed to a cluster or a server group, you can view the status of the flow
on each server it runs in.

Use this information to rule out the possibility of a communication issue leading to inconsistent
states throughout the servers.

## View Flow Metrics

Once you have selected one or multiple flows, you can view the **Metrics** tab.

![flow metrics e26c4](/mulesoft/current/en-us/runtime-manager/_images/flow-metrics-e26c4.png)

This tab contains charts for the following three metrics:

- Mule messages

- Errors

- Flow response time

All metrics are displayed as an average relative to the selected time scale.

> [!NOTE] The retention period for flow metrics is two weeks.

## Navigate the Metrics

All graphs can be viewed at different time scales by selecting the desired time interval on the
top-right corner.

![flow metrics 801cc](/mulesoft/current/en-us/runtime-manager/_images/flow-metrics-801cc.png)

If your application runs on a cluster or server group, the aggregated metrics of the entire set of
servers included are charted as a single plot line.

By hovering your mouse over a given point of a graph, an overlay displays numerical detail about
activity on that instant.

![flow metrics c2b16](/mulesoft/current/en-us/runtime-manager/_images/flow-metrics-c2b16.png)

You can set up alerts to notify you automatically whenever any of these metrics hits a critical
value for a sustained period of time.
