Druid 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 createdmetric - the name of the metricservice - the service name that emitted the metrichost - the host name that emitted the metricvalue - some numeric value associated with the metric
Metrics may have additional dimensions beyond those listed above.
Most metric values reset each emission period.
