Metrics is data that you want to display on the your Statuspage, for example:

• API response time

• Web server uptime

• Average time an outbound request sits on a queue

• Max time an incoming piece of data sits on a queue before ingested

• Average time before first reply on customer support requests

• Current exception rate of all requests
