metrics

The metrics ping is intended for all of the metrics that are explicitly set by the application or are included in the application's metrics.yaml file (except events). The reported data is tied to the ping's measurement window, which is the time between the collection of two metrics ping. Ideally, this window is expected to be about 24 hours, given that the collection is scheduled daily at 4AM. Data in the ping_info section of the ping can be used to infer the length of this window.
