Show or hide inherited metrics

When forking experiments, the latest run inherits metrics from ancestor runs until and including the fork step.

In charts, use the Show inherited metrics setting to control whether the graph of each run includes inherited metrics or not.

Experiment mode​

With the runs table in Experiment mode, each graph represents an experiment. If the experiment consists of multiple runs, they're combined into one unified experiment graph:

Runs mode​

With the runs table in Runs mode, you can see each run separately, even if they belong to the same experiment.

You can either include inherited metrics in the graph of each run, or display only metrics that were directly logged to each individual run:

Disable inherited metrics​

By default, showing inherited metrics on charts is enabled.

To display metrics only from the selected run or experiment itself:

  1. In the runs table, go to Controls.
  2. Toggle Show inherited metrics off.

All runs tab in the Neptune app. The buttons for switching metric history on and off are highlighted.
