# DORA Metrics in Hivel

You can integrate Hivel with any tool in your workflow, and the DORA metrics will be calculated consistently based on real-time data.

## What are DORA Metrics

Dora metrics give you real-time visibility into your delivery pipeline:

| Metric                      | What It Means                                                                  | Data Source                   |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| Change Failure Rate (CFR)   | The percentage of deployments that result in a failure.                        | Incident API + Deployment API |
| Mean Time to Restore (MTTR) | The time taken to restore a service from a production failure.                 | Incident API                  |
| Deployment Frequency (DF)   | The number of times that code changes are successfully deployed to production. | Deployment API                |
| Delivery Lead Time          | The time from code commit to successful deployment in production.              | Deployment API                |

## How to Enable These Metrics

To start viewing the new API-powered DORA metrics, make sure you’ve connected both the Deployment API and Incident API to your workspace.

1. In Hivel application navigate to Integrations → **CI/CD Section**
2. Connect the Deployment API for the following metrics:

   1. Deployment Frequency
   2. Delivery Lead Time

   👉 [View Integration Guide](https://docs.hivel.ai/integrations/api-documentation/deployment-events-api)

Once the APIs are connected, your DORA metrics will automatically update with data from these integrations.

## Where You’ll See These Changes

The changes apply in the

**Cockpit**

1. The DORA DASHBOARD - This board will include the metrics powered from Deployment and Incident API
2. These changes will be reflected in all the dashboards, graphical and tabular views

## Why This Change Matters

By using the Deployment API and Incident API, DORA metrics in Hivel are now more accurate, real-time, and consistent across tools.

You can integrate any tool with Hivel, and your metrics will follow a standard calculation method every time.

All DORA metrics in Hivel are pulled via API integration. No manual entry or configuration of calculations is required once your integrations are connected. View your DORA Dashboard in the Cockpit section to track these metrics in real-time.
