[[infra-ui]]
== Using the Infrastructure UI
Use the Infrastructure UI in {kib} to monitor your infrastructure and identify
problems in real time.
You start with an overview of your infrastructure.
Then you can use the interactive UI to drill down into areas of interest.

[float]
[[infra-cat]]
=== View your infrastructure by hosts or container
Select the high-level view: *Hosts*, *Kubernetes*, or *Docker*.
When you change views, you can see the same data through the perspective of a
different category.
[float]
[[infra-search]]
=== Use the power of Search
The Search bar is always available. You can use it to perform adhoc or structured searches.
The Search feature can surface the information you're looking for, even if the
other options you have selected would normally filter it out.
[float]
[[infra-metric]]
=== Start at a high-level by selecting the metric
This filter helps you start focusing on potential problem areas that may need
further investigation. You'll see metrics that are most relevant for hosts or
the container you selected.
[float]
[[infra-group]]
=== Group components
The *Group By* selector offers grouping options that are native and specific for
your physical, virtual, and container-based infrastructure.
Examples include Availability Zone, Machine Type, Project ID, and Cloud Provider
for Hosts, and Namespace and Node for Kubernetes.
[float]
[[infra-date]]
=== Specify the date range
Use the time selector to focus on a specific timeframe.
[float]
[[infra-refresh]]
=== Auto-refresh or pause
Set auto-refresh to keep up-to-date information coming in, or stop
refreshing to focus on historical data without new distractions.
[float]
[[infra-configure-source]]
=== Adapt to your metric source
Using a custom index pattern to store the metrics, or want to limit the entries
presented in a space? Use configure source to change the index pattern and
other settings.
