Overview

The topics in this category explain how to create, edit, archive, and delete metrics, and how to choose metrics to use with LaunchDarkly experiments, guarded rollouts, and release policies.

LaunchDarkly metrics can measure a wide variety of application events such as user interface interactions or page views, or changes in your application codebase like the time required to process a transaction. The LaunchDarkly SDKs use either metric events or OpenTelemetry traces to track these application events. LaunchDarkly then aggregates and analyzes the events or traces based on the metric definitions you create.
