# Getting started with application metrics

Monium enables working with Yandex Cloud metrics and any other metrics uploaded to Monium, such as those from your applications, infrastructure, or other clouds.

Follow this guide to configure sending metrics from your application to Monium and viewing them in the interface.

If you are new to Yandex Cloud or have no application with OTLP telemetry configured, start with [Getting started with Monium](../quickstart.md). It describes the basics of how to set up your environment and send data with the help of OTel Collector.

## Delivering metrics {#data-send}

### Connection settings {#main-parameters}

* Monium accepts data in [OpenTelemetry (OTLP)](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/) format.

* Address for metrics: `ingest.monium.yandex.cloud:443`.

* To write metrics, you will need a [service account](../../iam/operations/sa/create.md) with the `monium.metrics.writer` role and an [API key](../../iam/operations/iam-token/create-for-sa.md) with the `yc.monium.metrics.write` scope.

* Metric viewing interface: [Monium home page](https://monium.yandex.cloud) > **Metrics**.

Metric delivery is configured the same way as delivery of other telemetry data. See [Data delivery](../collector/index.md) for information about data delivery and distribution rules, agent configuration, and implementation examples.

## Viewing metrics {#view-metrics}

1. On the [Monium home page,](https://monium.yandex.cloud) select **Metrics** on the left.
1. At the top, set the search interval using the timeline, a preset interval, or by entering the time value directly.
1. In the search bar, enter a query to search for application metrics:
   1. Select the `folder__<folder_ID>` project. By default, the current folder's project is selected.
   1. Sequentially select the `cluster`, `service`, and the relevant metrics.
   1. Click **Execute query**.
1. To view metric details, hover over the chart.

For additional metric features, see [Viewing metrics in Monium Metrics](metric-explorer.md).
