US Patent 11550815 Providing and surfacing metrics for visualizations

Embodiments are directed to generating metrics based on visualizations. A dashboard that may be associated with source visualizations display a current value of metrics from source visualization models. A classifier may automatically use characteristics from the source visualizations to determine metrics for the source visualization. The source visualization models may be sample to provide values of the metrics across time, at a sampling rate determined by a metric profile. The sampled values may be stored with time values in a metric data store such that the time values may correspond to when the values sampled from the visualization. Metric visualizations may be generated based on the values and the time values such that the metric visualizations display previously sampled values of the metrics.
