Metric Type =========== There are two types of metrics that can be sent to Dynatrace: * **Gauge** - A gauge is a metric that represents a single numerical value that can arbitrarily go up and down. For example, current percentage of the CPU usage. * **Counters** - A counter is a metric that is continuously increasing. For example, the number of bytes received over a network interface since the start of the process. Members ^^^^^^^ .. autoclass:: dynatrace_extension.MetricType :members: :undoc-members:
