Welcome to Metrics20, your destination for next-generation standards and concepts in time series metadata management. In a world where data is rapidly growing and evolving, traditional methods of associating time series with a simple “name” string and a few tags are no longer sufficient. These methods lack the depth and standardization necessary to fully utilize the power of your data. Metrics20 is here to change that.
Our Vision
At Metrics20, we envision a world where metrics are self-describing and standardized, enabling seamless interoperability between tools, instant insight into metrics, and effortless creation of charts, dashboards, and alert expressions. Our goal is to transform how you interact with time series data by providing a comprehensive framework that enhances data clarity, accessibility, and usability.
Why Metrics20?
Enhanced Compatibility: By adopting Metrics20 standards, you ensure that your metrics can seamlessly integrate with various tools and platforms, eliminating compatibility issues and making data exchange effortless.
Immediate Insights: Our standardized approach means that your metrics carry all the information needed to understand and visualize them instantly, without the need for extensive documentation or guesswork.
Effortless Visualization: With self-describing metrics, creating graphs, dashboards, and alert systems becomes straightforward and hassle-free. Say goodbye to manual configuration and hello to automated, intelligent visualizations.
Orthogonal Tagging: Traditional systems often struggle with organizing metrics due to limited and unstandardized tagging. Metrics20 introduces orthogonal tags—independent key/value pairs that offer flexible and powerful ways to correlate and aggregate data across different dimensions.
Support for Non-Identifying Metadata: Metrics20 allows you to include additional information about your metrics that doesn’t alter their identity. This includes source details, agent data, and comments, providing a richer context for each metric.
Standardization Benefits
Standardizing metrics not only simplifies data management but also enhances the ability to generate automated visualizations and processing rules. Tools like Graph-Explorer leverage our standards to automatically create chart definitions and alert rules, handling metric aggregation, grouping, and processing with minimal effort.
