# APM Service Errors

The APM Service Errors chart displays error metrics for a specific service, allowing you to track error rates, total error counts, or errors as a percentage of total requests. You can switch between these three metrics using the selector dropdown to focus on the measurement most relevant to your monitoring needs.

The Errors chart reports on the errors that the specific service generates: either **Errors/sec** (default), the number of **Errors**, or the **Errors %**.

1. Click the metrics selector drop-down to choose between **Errors/sec**, **Errors**, and **Errors %** metrics.

2. Click  to select display options:

- **Show Log Scale**

- **Show Anomaly**

3. Click  (Explore Metric) icon to expand the chart to full size.
