+- [Query GCP metrics](ref:query-editor) using the visual Builder, MQL, SLO, or PromQL query types.
+- [Create template variables](ref:template-variables) for dynamic, reusable dashboards.
+- [Add annotations](ref:annotations) to overlay GCP events on your graphs.
+- [Set up alerting](ref:alerting) to receive notifications based on GCP metrics and SLOs.
+- [Explore your data](ref:explore) to investigate metrics without building a dashboard.
+- [Import pre-configured dashboards](ref:gcm-index) for popular GCP services.
