This API always returns basic metrics. You retrieve more metrics by using

[float]
===== Current executing watches metric
The current executing watches metric gives insight into the watches that are
currently being executed by {watcher}. Additional information is shared per
watch that is currently executing. This information includes the `watch_id`,
the time its execution started and its current execution phase.
`current_watches`::
(list) The current executing watches metric gives insight into the watches
that are currently being executed by {watcher}. Additional information is
shared per watch that is currently executing. This information includes the
`watch_id`, the time its execution started and its current execution phase.
To include this metric, the `metric` option should be set to `current_watches`
or `_all`. In addition you can also specify the `emit_stacktraces=true`
parameter, which adds stack traces for each watch that is being executed. These
stack traces can give you more insight into an execution of a watch.
[float]
===== Queued watches metric
{watcher} moderates the execution of watches such that their execution won't put
too much pressure on the node and its resources. If too many watches trigger
concurrently and there isn't enough capacity to execute them all, some of the
watches are queued, waiting for the current executing watches to finish their
execution. The queued watches metric gives insight on these queued watches.
