Metrics

Metrics are data aggregations that add business context to your data.

You can define metrics inline or as pre-defined to ensure consistent usage across your application.

​

Querying Metrics

You can query metrics using the GraphQL API. Metrics can be queried either by defining them inline or by referencing pre-defined metrics.

​

In-line Metrics

You can define Metrics in line in your query.

query TimeSeriesExample {
  timeSeries(input: {
    metric: {
      count: {
        dataPool: {
          name: "TacoSoft Demo Data"
        }
      }
    }
    ...
  }) {
    ...
  }
}

​

Pre-defined Metrics

You can predefine Metrics to ensure consistent usage across your application. Learn more about Defining Metrics.

Query using a pre-defined Metric ID:

query TimeSeriesExample {
  timeSeries(input: {
    metric: {
      id: "METXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
    }
    ...
  }) {
    ...
  }
}

Query using a pre-defined Metric name:

query TimeSeriesExample {
  timeSeries(input: {
    metric: {
      name: "sales"
    }
    ...
  }) {
    ...
  }
}
