## Overview

The metrics view provides two tables that present data.

### Hourly Collected Metrics

This table consists of the following columns:

* **Date**/**Time** - Date and Time of the snapshot
* **Number of Datapoints** - Number of connected Endpoints at the time instant of the snapshot
* **Messages per hour** - Number of messages transferred by the broker during the hour between the previous snapshot to the current one

### Daily Collected Metrics

This table consists of the following columns:

* **Date** - Date of commutated metrics
* **Number of Datapoints** - Number of connected Endpoints at the time instant of the daily snapshot
* **Messages per day** - Number of messages transferred by the broker during the day

The collected metrics are computed in two ways.

1. The **Number of Datapoints** are a snapshot at the end of the day
2. The **Messages per day** is the sum of all messages per hour for this specific date
