# VictoriaMetrics

> Connect VictoriaMetrics for high-performance metrics querying during investigations.

Connecting VictoriaMetrics lets Traversal query your metrics during investigations so it can detect anomalies, compare baselines, and correlate changes across services.

## What Traversal reads

* **Metrics** — time-series data queried via PromQL instant and range queries
* **Labels** — label names and values used to scope queries to the right services and environments

## Setup

Contact your Traversal administrator to configure this integration.

Have the following ready:

| Information        | Details                                                                    |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Cluster URLs**   | One or more endpoint URLs (e.g. `https://vm.example.com:8428`)             |
