With metrics, you can monitor workloads across multiple sites and clouds. Metrics provide point-in-time and historical (time-series) data that can help you detect anomalies, as well as provide recommendations of actions to rectify issues or optimize your environment.

For information on NSX metrics that are available through the NSX API, see the "APIs to Fetch Time-Series Metrics" topic in the NSX Administration Guide that is part of the VMware NSX Documentation set.
