Metrics is a platform that can be used to collect, store and analyse Time Series data. This guide will cover the very first step to get started with Metrics: ordering an account.
If you haven't one already, you will be able to create one directly in the metrics product page during the order process.
If you don't already have a Metrics Cloud plan, you can start by choose one according to your need.
Note that while choosing, a metric is a kind of measurement plus its dimensions. For example, temperature could be your metric, and you could set the room as tags. This way, you would need as much metrics as the total number of room which will be measured.
A plan mostly depends on the number of Time Series that you need, for example, with a small
plan, you can push datapoints for 1000 time series.
Please reach the product page for more details between plans. On this page you can for example order a try account. Once you complete all the steps and purchase an account, you should received a mail which will allow you to access the Metrics menu.
Once the chosen plan has been purchased, go to the Bare Metal Cloud
section of your control panel. Select the Metrics
menu from the left side of the control panel.
You can now select your new account from the list on the left.
In the Configuration
section, click on the dotted button to set up a proper name on your account.
Your account is good to go!
Let's stay on this page for a couple of second to continue the visit.

Once done, click to the Platforms
tab.
Metrics is protocol agnostic. It means you can push with one protocols, and query the same data with another one.
If you don't want to push your data by yourself, you can use a software that will support one of these protocols. Here is a short list :
