Metrics

EMQX Broker provides users with multiple ways to view metrics and status. Most directly, users can see this data on the Overview page of EMQX Dashboard.

TIP

EMQX Broker divides metrics into Metrics and Stats. Metrics usually refer to data that will only increase monotonically, such as the number of sent bytes and the number of sent messages. Metrics currently provided by EMQX Broker covers the four dimensions of bytes, packets, messages, and events. Stats usually refers to data that appears in pairs, including current values and historical maximums, such as the current number of subscriptions and the historical maximum number of subscription.
