## Overview

This topic explains how to use AI Config trends explorer to view aggregated performance data across multiple AI Configs, providers, and models. Use trends explorer to compare performance, identify trends, and correlate version changes with key metrics in a single view.

Trends explorer applies to AI Configs in both completion mode and agent mode and aggregates metrics across all configurations.

For detailed performance metrics for a single AI Config in a specific environment, use the [Monitoring](/home/ai-configs/monitor) tab.

Trends explorer provides time series charts and version annotations to help you understand which configurations perform best. Use it regularly to establish consistent, organization-wide practices for evaluating AI model performance.

Access trends explorer from the AI Configs view of your project. To populate it with data, instrument your application as described in [Tracking AI metrics](/sdk/features/ai-metrics).

Use trends explorer to:

* Compare performance across multiple AI Configs, providers, and models
* Track trends in token usage, latency, satisfaction, and error rates over time
* Correlate version changes with shifts in key performance metrics
* View aggregate statistics that summarize AI Config activity across all your AI Configs

## View trends explorer across AI Configs

To open trends explorer:

1. Navigate to your project.
2. In the left navigation, expand **AI**, then select **AI Configs**.
3. In the upper right corner of the AI Configs view, click **Trends**.

On first load, trends explorer shows default metrics for up to ten keys in the selected dimension. You can adjust the dimension, keys, metric, and date range to refine the data.

## Filter and group trends explorer data

Use the controls at the top of the **Trends explorer** panel to choose what data to view:

* **Date range** sets the time period for the data.
* **Bar** or **Line** toggles how trends explorer displays the data.
* **Group by** groups data by AI Config, model, or provider.

Use these controls to focus on the configurations and metrics most relevant to your analysis.

## Interpret trends explorer data

The **Time series chart** displays trends in the selected metric over the chosen time range and dimension. Version change annotations show how updates align with performance changes.

Use the chart to:

* Identify top-performing configurations
* Detect regressions or anomalies
* Monitor how recent changes affect performance
