### Metrics and Time Series

This standard expresses all system states as numerical values; counts, current values, enumerations, and boolean states being common examples. Contrary to metrics, singular events occur at a specific time. Metrics tend to aggregate data temporally. While this can lose information, the reduction in overhead is an engineering trade-off commonly chosen in many modern monitoring systems.

This standard expresses all system states as numerical values; counts, current values, distributions, enumerations, and boolean states being common examples. Contrary to metrics, singular events occur at a specific time. Metrics tend to aggregate data temporally and provide a sample of the system state. While this can lose information, the reduction in overhead is an engineering trade-off commonly chosen in many modern monitoring systems.

Time series are a record of changing information over time. While time series can support arbitrary strings or binary data, only numeric data is in scope for this RFC.
