What constitutes a single metrics time series (MTS)?

The correct answer is B. A set of data points that all have the same metric name and list of dimensions. A metric time series (MTS) is a collection of data points that have the same metric and the same set of dimensions. For example, the following sets of data points are in three separate MTS: MTS1: Gauge metric cpu.utilization, dimension "hostname": "host1" MTS2: Gauge metric…

Metrics Data Collection

Question

What constitutes a single metrics time series (MTS)?

Options

Explanation

A metric time series (MTS) is a collection of data points that have the same metric and the same set of dimensions. For example, the following sets of data points are in three separate MTS: MTS1: Gauge metric cpu.utilization, dimension "hostname": "host1" MTS2: Gauge metric cpu.utilization, dimension "hostname": "host2" MTS3: Gauge metric memory.usage, dimension "hostname": "host1" A metric is a numerical measurement that varies over time, such as CPU utilization or memory usage. A dimension is a key-value pair that provides additional information about the metric, such as the hostname or the location. A data point is a combination of a metric, a dimension, a value, and a timestamp.
