Basic Metrics

The following are the basic metrics for the VPN namespace.

The indicators whose names are displayed in bold below are the key indicators selected from the basic indicators provided by VPN. Key metrics are used to configure service dashboards that are automatically built for each service in ServiceWatch.

Each metric indicates, via the user guide, which statistical value is meaningful when viewing that metric, and among the meaningful statistics, the values shown in bold are the primary statistics. In the service dashboard, you can view key metrics using these primary statistical values.
