Druid generates metrics related to queries, ingestion, and coordination.

Metrics are emitted as JSON objects to a runtime log file or over HTTP (to a service such as Apache Kafka). Metric emission is disabled by default.

All Druid metrics share a common set of fields:

* `timestamp` - the time the metric was created
* `metric` - the name of the metric
* `service` - the service name that emitted the metric
* `host` - the host name that emitted the metric
* `value` - some numeric value associated with the metric

Metrics may have additional dimensions beyond those listed above.

Most metric values reset each emission period. By default druid emission period is 1 minute, this can be changed by setting the property `druid.monitoring.emissionPeriod`.
