associate metric(s) with. It is identified by a unique ID and can contain

||||
attributes.

||||
|
||||
Metric
|
||||
An entity storing measures identified by an UUID. It can be attached to a
|
||||
resource using a name. How a metric stores its measure is defined by the

||||
archive policy it is associated to.

|
||||
Measure
|
||||
A datapoint tuple composed of timestamp and a value.
|
||||
|
||||
Archive policy
|
||||

|
||||
measures will be kept in a metric and how they will be aggregated.
|
||||
|
||||
Granularity

||||
The time between two measures in an aggregated timeseries of a metric.

||||
Timeseries

|
||||
|
||||
Aggregation method
|
||||
Function used to aggregate multiple measures in one. For example, the

||||
`min` aggregation method will aggregate the values of different measures
|
||||
to the minimum value of all the measures in time range.
