 [[actuator.metrics.customizing.common-tags]]
 ==== Common Tags
+Common tags are generally used for dimensional drill-down on the operating environment, such as host, instance, region, stack, and others.
+Commons tags are applied to all meters and can be configured, as the following example shows:
 
-You can configure common tags using the <<actuator#actuator.observability.common-key-values, configprop:management.observations.key-values[] property>>.
+[source,yaml,indent=0,subs="verbatim",configprops,configblocks]
+----
+	management:
+	  metrics:
+	    tags:
+	      region: "us-east-1"
+	      stack: "prod"
+----
+
+The preceding example adds `region` and `stack` tags to all meters with a value of `us-east-1` and `prod`, respectively.
 
 NOTE: The order of common tags is important if you use Graphite.
 As the order of common tags cannot be guaranteed by using this approach, Graphite users are advised to define a custom `MeterFilter` instead.
