Daily Term: Metrics

Metrics

Metrics are quantitative measurements used to monitor and analyze system performance, such as request latency, error rates, or CPU usage. For example, a web app might track the number of requests per second to gauge load. Metrics are collected using tools like Prometheus and visualized in dashboards (e.g., Grafana) to identify trends and issues. Metrics enable data-driven decisions but require selecting relevant indicators and managing storage for long-term data.
