# Request errors comparative metrics

the *Request errors comparative metrics* report uses various properties and metrics to report on request errors.

A comparative metrics report has two parts, *Metrics tiles* and *Metrics comparison over a date range*.

<details>
<summary><h2>Metrics tiles</h2></summary>

This is the first part of a comparative metrics report. It displays a tile for every relevant metric and KPI. Each tile reports the overall value for the selected period. The following is a generic example of metric tiles.

Clicking a metric tile sets its metric as the first metric in the second part of this report, the *Metrics comparison over the date range* part.
