# Monitoring project metrics

You can view the values of all [metrics-definition](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/user-guide/code-metrics/metrics-definition "mention") in your project and you can view the value history of one or several code metrics in your project.

## Viewing the values of all code metrics <a href="#all-metrics" id="all-metrics"></a>

1. In the top navigation bar, click **Projects** and then click the project you want to monitor.
2. In the project navigation bar, click **Measures**.

## Viewing the value history of one or several metrics <a href="#value-history" id="value-history"></a>

1\. In the top navigation bar, click **Projects** and then click the project you want to monitor.

2\. In the project navigation bar, select **Activity**. The left sidebar contains the list of code scans performed on your project.

3\. In **Filter events**, you can filter the scans list by event type (see **Event types** in [activity-and-history](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/user-guide/viewing-projects/activity-and-history "mention")).

4\. Issues are shown in the graph by default. To change the metrics shown, click **Issues** and select another metric category in the drop-down list.
