## 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 commulated 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
