# Viewing IO Metrics per Object

Hover over any object on the page, such as a virtual IP pool, to see the IO metrics for this object, averaged over the sampling period.

The IO metrics include average bandwidth, IOPS and metadata IOPS for read and/or write operations, and also statistics on objects along the data flow path, and ROW operations on Databases.

The metrics displayed when you hover over an object reflect the aggregated flows included based on the sample period and the selected filters. They are recalculated when you [change the sampling period](/docs-5-4/docs/en/changing-the-data-sampling-period), [sort the flow points](/docs-5-4/docs/en/sorting-data-flow-points), or change the [limit](/docs-5-4/docs/en/limiting-the-number-of-displayed-data-flow-points-in-each-column). However, they are not recalculated when the object is pinned or the paths through the data flow point are isolated as described in [Focusing on Specific Data Flows and Objects](/docs-5-4/docs/en/focusing-on-specific-data-flows-and-objects).
