metrics	Metrics

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.
