Metrics in LiveSession allow you to compute and analyze various metrics over time. Use this feature to:

Track key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics.

Identify metrics and patterns in user behavior.

Gain actionable insights to improve your product.

Overview

Metrics enable you to compute metrics based on user activity and other data points in your application. These metrics help you understand user behavior and performance over time.

With the LiveSession API, you can programmatically define, query, and analyze metrics to gain insights into metrics.
