Metrics

A metric is a statistic that is calculated over a set of numbers, like a mean or median. Bigeye's data observability platform works by monitoring metrics for database tables or columns and alerting you if they go out of bounds.

To get started with metrics, navigate from the Catalog navigation pane to the table you are interested in.

There are two kinds of metrics that you can deploy in Bigeye:

• Autometrics
• Manual Metrics
