The metrics listed in this section follows the statsd-compatible Sysdig naming convention. To see a mapping between Prometheus notation and Sysdig notation, see Metrics and Label Mapping.

Metric Type | Metric type determines whether the metric value is a counter metric or a gauge metric. Sysdig Monitor offers two Metric types: Counter: The metric whose value keeps on increasing and is reliant on previous values. It helps you record how many times something has happened, for example, a user login. Gauge: Represents a single numerical value that can arbitrarily fluctuate over time. Each value returns an instantaneous measurement, for example, CPU usage. |
