Metrics and Events
Taking the meh out of metrics
Metrics
• Set of numbers describing a particular process or activity
• Measured over intervals of time – i.e., time series data
• Unlike log generation and storage, metrics generation
and storage has a constant overhead – cost doesn’t
increase with system activities that could result in a
sharp uptick in data observability (e.g., user traffic)
• Common metrics sources:
• System metrics (CPU, disk memory)
• Infrastructure metrics (AWS CloudWatch)
• Web tracking scripts (Google Analytics)
• IoT Sensors (temperature readings)
Events
• Immutable record of discrete events that happen over time
• Come in three forms: plain text, structured, binary
• Omnipresent–attached to every packet that enters or
leaves a network interface card
• Common event sources:
• System and server logs (syslog, journald)
• HEC
• APIs (Twitter, Wunderground)
• Application, platform and server logs (log4j, log4net,
Apache, MySQL, AWS)

► Independently scale up/down compute
(CPUs) and data storage based on business
demands
► Automatically evaluates users’ data
access patterns (via app-aware cache) –
placing actively accessed data in local
storage for real-time analytics; inactive data
moved to low-cost, remote storage
(any S3-compatible environment)
